  1. I couldn't even finish it, it felt like things were just happening. I loved the book and this adaptation was terrible. 12:07 PM Aug 31st from web
  2. "Mysteries of Pittsburgh" was really a terrible movie like people said. I gave it the benefit of the doubt. 12:06 PM Aug 31st from web
  3. @roncharles Blame is supposed to be good book but New World Monkeys seems more interesting. 4:28 PM Aug 29th from web
  4. My favorite at the classes at the college in Moore's new novel: intro to Sufism, Wine Tasting and Soundtracks to War Movies. 4:25 PM Aug 29th from web
  5. Moore's new novel seems similar in a way to Zadie Smith's last book. It's about the war, race, academic satire and terrorism. 4:24 PM Aug 29th from web
  6. 2. A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore. Moore's first book in a while. A coming of age in a Midwestern college town in a post 9/11 world. 4:21 PM Aug 29th from web
  7. Smith has written an academic/cultural satire that skewers both the left and the right, from an outsider's point of view. 4:19 PM Aug 29th from web
  8. 1. On Beauty by Zadie Smith. This is the first book of Smith's I'm going to read. Its a modern day Howard's End set at Harvard-like college. 4:02 PM Aug 29th from web
  9. two more books to add to the list. I'm a slow reader but I feel if I read all of them at once I won't be missing out. 4:01 PM Aug 29th from web
  10. okay that's actually 8 books and my opinions might change since I'm still reading them all but so far so good. 11:46 PM Aug 28th from web
  11. I think it's Lethem's best and most fun book he's every written. 11:46 PM Aug 28th from web
  12. 7. Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem. Yes I have a copy of Lethem's cool new book about a very weird New York and its pothead residents. 11:45 PM Aug 28th from web
  13. couldn't have imagined. Self is one of my favorite writers and tells his own "Heart of Darkness" in a country that is Iraq and Australia. 11:43 PM Aug 28th from web
  14. The Butt by Will Self. This caustic British satire takes on liberal politics, in this case the banning of smoking, to heights Vonnetgut... 11:42 PM Aug 28th from web
  15. that is a meditation of the fluidity of identity. Chaon is on par with Ray Bradbury, Stephen King and Shirley Jackson for the shear terror. 11:40 PM Aug 28th from web
  16. 6. Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon. A chilling literary novel three in the form of three different stories... 11:38 PM Aug 28th from web
  17. It has a large varying cast of characters including a female Weinsten type whose addicted to Krispy Kremes and a bipolar bike messenger. 11:36 PM Aug 28th from web
  18. Its a very funny book set during the 2000 election about the quest to produce a mini-series about diviners yet the script doesn't exist. 11:34 PM Aug 28th from web
  19. 5. The Diviners by Rick Moody. I love Moody. I'm rereading this brilliant and unappreciated Hollywood satire set in Pre-9/11 NYC. 11:33 PM Aug 28th from web
  20. with a historical/cultural commentary. Mieville could be talking about Cold War era Berlin. 11:28 PM Aug 28th from web
