You should - I read all his novels, and they're truly excellent.

hmm, i see. yeah, the storyline isn't much, but i'm actually the opposite - i appreciated the storyline more than the writing.

don't give up on books, just give up on pointing out the literary shortcomings of others

to answer your previous question, no, i didn't graduate. i dropped out and got a g.e.d.
i went to private schools where the most we ever read was probably huckleberry finn or pilgrim's progress. i was not exposed to anything like great gatsby, catcher in the rye, etc. so instead of blaming my upbringing, i'm doing something about it and playing catch up. i mean, it sucks, but it's also fun, too. |

on a side note, i always enjoy seeing people on facebook go from "i don't read much..." to listing 20 popular books that came out in the last 6 months, especially when this happens in conjunction with "so and so is now in a relationship."

Friday by Robert Heinlein - B-
Awesome, hot sci-fi action! The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks - A- It's perfect for what it is. La Bustina di Minerva by Umberto Eco - A I love Eco's essay style so unbelievably much... |

that part in name of the rose where the peasant girl tried to seduce the novice under the kitchen table almost gave me a stiffy, once.
i've been dabbling in les fleurs du mal by baudelaire- doubt i'll ever finish and a biography on remedios varo. |

I'm now reading Couples by John Updike. This is my first Updike book. I think it's going to be a while.
