    That's a good one. My favourite of his is still a toss up between 'On the road' and 'Big Sur' though.

    and

    Bridge of Sighs- by Richard Russo

    i usually have 2-3 going at once, tho they have to be of different categories (fict/nf/current aff/bio, etc) or in different genres, otherwise i get the characters and storylines mixed up! :p

    The War of the Buttons (La guerre des boutons) by Louis Pergaud

    Not sure if it's been translated, though, as it contains a lot of colloquialisms.
    However, I am learning lots of insults I've never heard before.

    Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Almost done with it, so far definitely a good read.

    The Stranger by Albert Camus
    “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

    How is that? I bought that but haven't gotten to it yet.

    I just added "Duma Key" by Stephen King to the 2 other books I am reading right now.
