I totally agree. I really liked Saturday, but it did start out slow. Same with this book, first 100 pages were tough to get through, now it's tough to put him down. I would definitly read anything with his name on.1998 ~ Barrie

Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins0

King Dork by Frank Portman - you will not be disappointed. BTW, it is catagorized as "Young Adult" but do not be deterred. Seriously, you will love it!
And to the poster above me, if you like Tim Robbins, try Jitterbug Perfume. It is my favorite book of his.

Did I mention it's my all-time favorite book? There is a documentary I watched recently (Banking on Heaven) and Krakauer appears on it. One of the FLDS's "Lost Boys" 'adopted' Krakauer as his dad. Brought a tear to my eye!This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -

I would be interested in seeing that. I just watched a documentary on brain washing and religions.. interesting. Terrifying and bizarre but interesting.
I am re reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume, great book.0 -
I'm reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and I just finished Into the Wild. I read Into Thin Air years ago and was not a big fan of Krakauer's style so I never read Wild, but I liked Into the Wild much, much more.0
