As with Nabokov's Lolita, I found this to be a good read but not terribly brilliant until the last 50 pages, which absolutely made it worth the wait. Likewise, while I would always recommend Pale Fire ahead of Lolita, I would recommend The Road to the World's End ahead of The Troll Circle. If you've already read some Hoel and want to tackle something a little on the heavy side, have at it. Otherwise, I'd say start out with The Road to the World's End. I can't imagine not loving that one. I can imagine not loving this one. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2159626-david Louis made a comment on David Eagleman's profile:

Thanks for writing such a delightful little book! I enjoyed it immensely and have been recommending it to others. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47454961 to: Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives (Hardcover) by David M. Eagleman
Similar in form to Alan Lightman's brilliant little book, Einstein's Dreams. This one follows the thought experiment of speculating on the possibilities of what the afterlife is like, and in doing so explores the notion of what our existence really is. The author has presented 40 such possibilities, each in the 2-4 page range. A quick read, very fun. Philosophical, but easy. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47500372 to: Extra Nutty!

Laugh-out-loud funny. Got a long road trip coming up? This is ideal fare for reading aloud as the miles slip by. (Note: the driver should not be the one who does the reading! That's a safety issue.) ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47499816 to: The Gashlycrumb Tinies (Hardcover) by Edward Gorey
Years later, I still can't shake my feelings for poor Neville, who died of ennui. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47499518 to: The Complete Alice and the Hunting of the Snark (Hardcover) by Lewis Carroll
