Ugh, not a pleasant experience.

70. Under the Dome A Novel - Stephen King

I don't think it sounds boring - I used to be in a dart league - seems like a quirky story with potential. I'll check it out.

53. The Dart League King A Novel - Keith Lee Morris

I really enjoyed this fast paced, crazy, very dark novel about Thursday night dart leauge championship in a small Idaho town. Sounds boring with that description but very creative.

52. Shutter Island - Dennis Lehane

Eh--not terribly impressed. It was a quick read, interesting characters but the story was predictable and ending was pretty lame.

51. Lords Of Corruption - Kyle Mills

Not his best work but a competent summer thriller.

50. The Somnambulist - Jonathan Barnes

Very quirky but good book.

It's been awhile since I posted but this was a really good book.

49. Best Served Cold - Joe Abercrombie

Clever time traveling story

47. Beat the Reaper A Novel - Josh Bazell

Really funny, violent, vulgar book!

42. The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

I really liked this book! Looking forward to the 2nd book.

Hey Ryan, I was really impressed with The Blade Itself and am looking forward to picking up the other books. He's a fantastic author and I'm so glad to have stumbled across him.

41. So Much Damn Money - Robert Kaiser

Well researched book about the rise of money and lobbying in U.S. government in the last 30 years. It might frustrate you but well written book by a Washington Post reporter.

40. The Ha-Ha A Novel - Dave King

It was okay. I liked the character in Howard and would like to read more about him but this particular story was missing something. Anyone else read this book?

39. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon - Stephen King

A nice little story about a girl lost in the woods and how her favorite baseball player, Tom Gordon, and the Boston Red Sox games on the radio help her through her journey.

38. The Domino Men - Jonathon Barnes

Great book!!

37. Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

I thought this book was kinda boring.

I read this graphic novel as part of the summer challenge in The Next Best Book Club group. This one was not bad.

Eh--it was okay.

34. The Associate - John Grisham

A good turn-your-brain-off summer time read

33. Bozo Sapiens Why to Err is Human - Michael and Ellen Kaplan

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway. Not a fantastic book but not bad. Lots of interesting information about the human brain and our behaviors.

32. The Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchet

31. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

29. Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli

30. The Color Of Magic - Terry Pratchet

Both good books!

Good although scary alternate World War II setting. It isn't a violent war book--good read!

Galapagos is a great book by Vonnegut.

27. Love, Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli

I read this one on my flight today--quick read but nice follow-up to Stargirl.

Thanks for the tips on Vonnegut--I'll check those out.

I just read the Screwtape Letters myself. There were some good points, but overall, I found myself daydreaming and wondering when the book would be over.

I also noticed you've read Vonnegut. May I suggest some of his shorter books? (Those would be "Man Without a Country" and "God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian")
Both of these books are incredibly short and can be read quickly. Also, there is a newer book out (published after he died) called "Amageddon in Retrospect."
I don't care for long-winded Vonnegut, but short and satirical Vonnegut makes me happy. :)

26. The Good Thief - Hannah Tinti

Very good!

You're welcome!
