Just finished "The Crying of Lot 49". Some weird shit there but I'm used to it with Pynchon. On a totally different note, I'm now onto "Everything Is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer. I've read "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and loved it to pieces, but hadn't gotten around to this one until now. I'm a hundred pages in and I'm adoring it already. Everyone should read his stuff, it's fantastic.2003: Toronto

Spinward Fringe: Frontline by Randolph Lalonde.
I got the first book in the series free through BN- and I liked it enough to continue with the remaining books in the series. This is the forth book, and I'm really liking this author.0 -

I just finished Winter Vault by Anne Michaels. It was the best book I read all year. 4.5/5 stars. She is able to write the depth of a particular emotion through the smallest of actions. Sentences are rarely long except when the characters tell stories. They tell a lot of stories.
There is nothing that makes me feel so alive, and know why I'm on this earth, as reading incredible fiction, except for unbridled joyful humor.
There are two books that display the depth of an emotion, and the emotional breadth of the human experience:
Unless by Carol Shields
The Last Report on the Miracles of Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich
I started The Songlines by Bruce ChatwinThere is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird0 -

I'm taking some time off from fiction for a bit to read some more humorous/factual books. I'm currently reading Death From the Skies by Philip Plait, which discusses many possible doomsday scenarios with astronomical origins, and Why We Suck by Denis Leary, because it's just funny.Thanks EPOTTSIII!

Just finished Guernica by Dave Boling. It's about the tragic bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Great book! The events also influenced Picasso.0

The Book Thief - Markus Zusakoh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.0
