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.

Moving on to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

I am not actually reading anything right now but I recently finished this book.

IRA Wealth: Revolutionary IRA Strategies for Real Estate by Patrick Rice

So now I am taking advantage of some depressed Real Estate Markets.

Just finished "I hope they serve beer in hell"

Quite funny.

The Saving Life of Christ by Major Ian Thomas

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. :D

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.
