Finally have time to read. Will finish Njal's Saga first (halfway), then probably Gravity's Rainbow (which is on pause), World War Z (re-read), and maybe re-read The Sickness Unto Death.

Put Oil! on hold to read the following before 21 July:
World's End
Dragon's Teeth
Wide Is The Gate
The Presidential Agent
Dragon Harvest
and
The Return of Lanny Budd

All by Upton Sinclair.

Good movie, but so far removed from the book. The book is one of Sinclair's best works - thusly all should read it.

Oil! by Upton Sinclair. For the second time. It's a great book.

Skeleton Crew was my first king book when I was but a wee lad. Fucking love that book! Glad you had time to read it and like it, Patrick.

Oh, you have only scratched the surface of my seething literary hatred.

Hold on - fantastic books?? If by fantastic you mean derivative, devoid of any real literary merit, and general pabulum, then I agree. Paolini has managed to parlay a history of plagiarism into a...

Reading "Dawn." It's Phil Elverum's (from The Microphones and Mount Eerie, some of my favorite music ever) winter diary from time spent in self-imposed exile in a cabin in Denmark. An amazing look...

Almost done re-reading Catch-22. Then moving on to the Maleficarum. Yep, I'm reading the witch-hunter's guide. Thanks Project Gutenberg.

I decided to read Mason & Dixon by Pynchon. I hope to finish it by the end of 30 days and move on to a simultaneous read of Blaze and that Eco book.

Damn. I've never seen you so incensed, Jean! I'll make sure to never fall out of my type style!

Re-reading "On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History...." by Nietzsche, reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke as well. The second is a great page turner, already more than...

Just over halfway done with A Confederacy of Dunces, which is my nighttime reading, and just started The Gay Science by Nietzsche.

I know!

I wouldn't feel comfortable reading in French or Russian, malheuresement.

Jean, you're hands down one of the best bookworms I know. I trust your judgment, fair bear.

I read it--it's fucking awesome! Matter of fact, it was my first staff recommendation for Barnes & Noble.

Nope, just lost time thanks to school and work. My reading schedule will recover over my hiatus and portfolio collection.

Awesome.

I may start Vonnegut's Jailbird in a day or two after finishing this fucking Didion essay. I'm about 7/10 done with Foucault's, and it's still amazing.
