I just finished The Road. I don't know if I posted that or not. It is pretty depressing.

I read it a couple of years ago and have avoided seeing the movie because of how depressing the book was.

I got a Nook for christmas, and just finished reading Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King. It was pretty good. I've got The Imperfectionists, Room, The Lonely Polygamist and One Day loaded up and ready to go. Any suggestions what to read next?

I want to read Room and heard good things about it, but haven't read it yet.

Room is next on my list, I think. I'm about halfway through The Lonely Polygamist. It's actually one of the funniest books I've ever read. I rarely laugh out loud with a book. One Day was fantastic.

I haven't seen the movie either. Although I did see a little snippet of it the other day on some movie channel and I quickly turned it. I don't think I will be seeing it any time soon. A) movies never do books justice and I couldn't subject myself to it so soon after reading the book. :?

It's one of those situations where the book is better, like what usually happens, but watch this movie. It's still pretty solid.

my sister loved the book. Keeps telling me to read it.

Should I? Or will it be too depressing?

What a pile of crap that was. :x I used to think he was kinda funny. Now I just want to punch him in the face.

Today I just started reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything.

One Song Glory

Just finished Bohemians of the Latin Quarter by Murger. About halfway through Kim Echelin's The Disappeared.

Recently found out "Forrest Gump" was a novel before a movie so I recently read that. Very quick read and very different than the movie. Good though.

Just started reading "Consider The Lobster" by David Foster Wallace. Believe I have already read most of these essays but they are outstanding.

Just starting Josh Hamilton's book, "Beyond Belief." I won tickets to Game 1 of the World Series and had the opportunity to briefly meet him/get his autograph. Really inspiring comeback story so I'm looking forward to learning more about him.
