    It's ok so far. It's short stories and so far I've read "Willa", "Harvey's Dream", and "Rest Stop". I skipped "Gingerbread Girl" because I read it when it was in Esquire and didn't like it that much. Of the ones I've read, "Willa" was the best. I'm going to read "Stationary Bike" next, which I already read in another collection but it's good so I'll read it again. "The Things they Left Behind" is another one I've read in there that I'll read again. So overall, I'd give it a B so far.

    I have "Under the Banner of Heaven", but every time I go to pick out a book I don't feel in the mood to read it. Maybe one day. I did like "Into the Wild".


    "Under the Banner of Heaven" really was a great read so if you get into the mood just keep reading.

    I finished "Blaze" and just found it so incredibly sad :(

    Finished "Just After Sunset" last night. I think "N." was the best story.

    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    I've seen the movie. (I used to be a big Bowie fan). I didn't know it was based on a book.

    Yeats. The complete poems.

    I don't think I shall ever read another book.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Let me know when you finish it and I'll tell you what I thought. I don't want to ruin it for you.
