ive already read it once a hile back, good book though. think i might start on it again.

sorta reads like a more modern day "catcher in the rye", even though it takes place in the early 80s.

Read that book. Loved it. Might buy other books by him.

That sounds really good, i'll have to add it to my list.
tell me what you think of it when your finished please.

The Fasting Girl
It's a medical mystery type deal about this girl in Victorian times who claimed to have no eaten for about 12 years. There's a lot in it about anxiety, hysteria, and the likes.
It's been interesting so far, bought it for like $6 so if it turns out to be crap it's not big deal.

I have just finished Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon which was pretty much like his other books and thus pretty good I thought. now I don't know what to read next. Possibly Q by 'Luther Blisset'

Alex's Trip · 03.23.2007, 09:17 PM

I just started Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

Norma J · 03.23.2007, 09:21 PM

I've been shit with reading lately. I do that though. Read intensely for a few months and then don't read at all and vica versa.

Cantankerous · 03.23.2007, 09:22 PM

I was halfway through Elizabeth Bowen's Death of the Heart when I had my bag stolen (with book inside).

So I'm moving on to Always Outnumbered Always Outgunned, by Walter Mosley.

The Catcher in the Rye, again, but only because I needed a short, quick read. About a year ago, when I first read the book, I found myself, somehow, mesmerized by Holden's story. Now I find it almost, uh, phony. It seems like Salinger wrote the book for a chance to poke fun at kids like Holden, or that's how it comes across to me. Holden is almost as repulsive as the 'phonies' he finds himself surrounded by.
