There were some very minor problems with it, like some lighthanded editing and a main character with few flaws, but I really enjoyed it. I will say it is only the start of a trilogy, so the ending isn't really an ending.

I pictured Oblivion as I was reading it.
I liked it as well. One of the better fantasy debuts, and next to Lies of Locke Lamora in terms of recent quality series.

Reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I can never get over what a freaking genius this guy is. The premise of this novel sounds so freaking boring, but it's amazing. It's also cool because it's like A Clockwork Orange in that the language of the novel is a creation of the author. At first it seems overwhelming to decipher, but it quickly becomes easy to read and understand.

I just finished Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey. He's the guy who made up a bunch of shit in his autobiography about his drug addiction and made Oprah cry. I hoped doing straight fiction that he'd really bring some respectability to liars! (jk) He does have a real knack for settings and details. Overall it was good, not a knockout.

I'm sorry, but I honestly thought that was the absolute worst book ever! It may have been funny in some places, but it was nothing but a bunch of egotistic BS lies from an elitist wanna-be party-animal. He came off as God's gift to women and I rolled my eyes more than I ever rolled over in laughter.

Oh, and I've got a hundred bucks that says I could drink little old Tucker Fake under the table.

The "rave" reviews he's received are from his spamming college buddies. Read the reviews from real people who read real books and most of them feel the same way I did- what a waste of time, money, and trees. The book is poorly written and in no way thought-provoking or riveting- it's just a classless drunken rambling of shit.

I'm glad you liked it though.

I just picked up Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I didn't finish my last book "House of Good Hope" for a variety of reasons so I'm going to pick up this one and then try afterwards to return to House.

Anyone else read this classic?

Yep. Very enjoyable.

I own it, and I've started it like 3 times but for some reason I never can keep going. There's nothing I dislike about it, but I just never seem to want to finish it.

I read it. It was alright but it's been a long time ago and I remember having to force myself to finish it. I still have a couple of lasting memories from it though so it was probably worth it.

I read Zen two summers ago. It was fine, but nothing really life-changing by any means.

I have just read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis and that is beautiful. I started reading it again immediately.

Evidently he made a movie, and the movie sucks, too.

It was bad. It was really bad. It was not bad in the good way. It was not bad ironically. It was not bad in the "Let's go see it because we like to watch bad movies like Knowing, and laugh at them" way. I do not want to say the wrong thing here, that might convince anyone that this movie is worth paying to see, even for train wreck purposes.

This is the movie that happens when a narcissist—not an interesting one, though—writes an entire movie about how cool he is, and is given full creative control over that movie. Imagine someone you know who is an asshole. Now imagine that person being able to write and produce a movie about themselves, and how awesome they are. There you have it.
