What Are You Reading?

Well, in the last little while I've read:

- Paris: 1944-1949 (Informative, but quite stuffy at times.)
- Apathy and Other Small Victories (Think Confederacy of the Dunces modernized. It's really that good.)
- The Reluctant Fundamentalist (An excellent affecting, short novel. Spartan narrative.)
- Absurdiastan (Funny at first, but the shtick wears pretty thin quickly.)

1/2 way through Songs of Susannah (Dark Tower VI), it is really bad compared to the first 4.

I finished reading the Cheese Monkeys last night. Kidd really nailed it, I could relate so much with the things in this book, the graphic design stuff was dead on (not surprising, given the author). There is a part in the book in which things dive into WTFville, but other than that I enjoyed it.

At first I liked Himillsy, but as the story progressed, I wanted to punch her in the face.

Has anyone read the hilariously-bilious and poorly-written-yet-perhaps-inadvertently-thought-provoking "The Average American Male"?

Most people here who play WoW on Shattered Hand have, since the author is in Rampant Fronting.

Confirmed. Blood Cock imo.

The Toronto Star called it "the worst book of the year."

While I agree, I still like it.

I finished ''Terrorist'' by John Updike.
Can't really recommend it buti don't regret reading it. It does provide alot of insight into much of the Islam-based anti-materialistic idealogies.

To make things a little ironic i read it on a plane ride. Waited for someone to ask me why i was reading it but no one did.

I have decided to read ''The Lord of the Flies'' because i never did in middle school. So far i'm unimpressed because i've exposed myself to much more meaningful and more finely written books. Right now i just want to finish it so i can move onto ''Man's Fate'' by Andre Malraux.
