I missed Moby Dick in high school, but someone in my book club thought it would be "fun" to read. Not so fun.
Shameless plug - my fabulous friend Jillian has a new book out. She's a great person and a great writer, very very funny and then she breaks your heart. Her first book, Hunger Point, is also very good. She writes literary fiction, probably more geared to women than men, but not super fluffy stuff.

:wtf:
Moby Dick for a book club?!?! Wow, that's mean! I think it's worth reading but it's not my idea of something for a book club.
650 pages long and when you get to page 600 that damn whale hasn't shown up yet! :fp:

What did you think of "Wind Through the Keyhole"? I'm 3/4 of the way through it. I was liking it a lot, but have been stalled around page 200 for awhile. That might just be me and not the book, though.
zen wrapped in karma dipped in chocolate - brad warner
no clue what either of these is about, but the titles alone intrigue me...
brad warner is a buddhist... but he doesnt come across as the 'robe wearing- meditating in a monastery type buddhist. hes very entertaining. i was introduced to him a few years back and hes making me think hard about my life and the shitty choices ive made atm.
as for klosterman... he makes me laugh.
i highly recommend both.

The only Klosterman book I read was Eating the Dinosaur, another food book. It made me laugh out loud several times.

I will say that I enjoyed it the 2nd time I read it. But that's another one that I don't expect to pick up and read again any time soon.

Very funny.
For sure! Reading that book made me want to quit my job and just follow PJ around the world. Now I just have to win the lottery first.
Ah shit.....That's all I need......I've already gone a little loopy lately buying shit and planning for Vegas
