[Scott]

I finished Pet Sematary. I loved the ending.

Now I'm reading Seven Deadly Wonders. This is the first book I've read from him. I've heard good things.

[Jeff]

Just started Oblivion by David Foster Wallace. Stopped The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Too many other books to read to continue on one I didn't like.

[Kenneth]

Reading Mr. Hands by Gary A. Braunbeck and just started Koko by Peter Straub.

Yeah. Sorry.

[Jeff]

Nick...

I dunno. Just didn't connect with me. I will try to finish it at some point.

The ending does follow in the same vein as the rest of it... so, if you get past Antarctica and don't like it, you may not.

[Nick]

Just finished Tibetan Peach Pie by Tom Robbins. Review coming very soon. Well into Gerald's Game as part of the group read.

[Nick]

Just posted my review of Tibetan Peach Pie. LISTENING to the audio book of Gerald's Game and READING Jitterbug Perfume.

[Jeff]

Wow Nick....you're on quite the Robbins kick!

[Jeff]

I'm in postmodern land right now. Reading Pynchon, Powers, Wallace and Verhaeghen.

I blame you! THANKS.

[Jeff]

Ha! I'll take the blame for that!

[Nick]

TheLongWait wrote: "Ha! I'll take the blame for that!"

Quite a favor. I haven't binge-read any author since... uh... oh yeah, Stephen King.

[Jeff]

Glad I could help:-)

Enjoy Jitterbug Perfume! I think that's his best book.

[Tom]

Me too Kirstin. It made me love beets.

[Kirstin]

The beet is the most intense of vegetables...

Yes, Kirstin, his quotes about beets are right up their with his high praise for mayonnaise.

by Jennifer Cassetta & Lindsey Smith.
I'm also trying to read but it's an ebook and I have trouble focusing on ebooks. It's good thus far though.

I read The Labyrinth a few weeks ago, it's really entertaining.

I finished The Troop (great book,totally recommended) and now I'm taking a break from horror novels. I'm currently reading Monstrous Regiment and The Crippled God

[Mikaela*Bookworm*]

That's good, I really want to get through it! I've liked what I read so far, I just have such a hard time forcing myself to focus on ebooks. I think it's because of the screen lighting and stuff,sometimes it causes headaches.

I'm reading this book in these days, and I like it, it's a good story. I'm used to read ebook on my Kindle.

[Chris]

Heart-Shaped Box

[Susan]

I'm starting Bag of Bones. A little birthday treat for myself :)

[Jamii]

Oh Andrew, I saw some of your updates!!! I'm gonna charge up my iPad and just force myself through it!! It's really interesting and I wanna finish it, I just need to get over my ebook problem!!!

Fifty Shades of Grey was an ebook, though I powered through that book easier because my friend kept nagging me. She's already bugging me to read the second and third book but I have other reading obligations I need to get out of the way!!

They'll take you no time to finish...

Book Crack!

[Margaret]

I m reading the circle by Dave Eggers. Is here someone that has an opinion about it? The first chapter is interesting but I m not thrilled yet.

[Jeff]

Margaret...
I have it on my TBR shelf. I have been waiting for a used copy to come up for sale at betterworldbooks.com where I buy all my books.

[Jeff]

I have 3 eggers on my shelf....he was a David Foster Wallace fan and wrote the intro in my paperback copy of Infinite Jest. Plus he started McSweeney's which published one of my all time faves: the Instructions by Adam Levin.

[Jeff]

I just started Oblivion by David Foster Wallace and I am Radar by Reif Larson

[Margaret]

Well, I'll be commenting on my currently reading status about my progress. Enjoy your reading!

[Jeff]

You as well. I will be following :-)

[Julie]

I'm reading "Sam" by Iain Rob Wright!!

[Doreen]

Me too, the second one is my favorite.

[Jeff]

Damn! Just got a copy of the Broom of the System by David Foster Wallace and just had to start it.

[E.]

About half way through Plum Island. It's an excellent murder mystery, and the main character is pretty funny. At first I thought his smart a$$ attitude would get tedious, but I'm still laughing, and very intrigued.
Highly recommend it, and it might get 5stars if the ending is well done

[Nick]

Okay, longwait, you got me interested in David Foster Wallace, so I'm downloading the audiobook of Infinite Jest (even though I really have to dedicate my audiobook time pretty soon to Pimsler's Italian (for our upcoming trip in May). I may try to sneak in a re-read of Pet Cemetery too. Jitterbug Perfume is a really great evening read too.

[Jeff]

Good luck Nick, but with the footnotes and all, I think it needs to be read.

[Jeff]

Truly a genius and my favorite author, Nick. I picked up my copy of Infinite Jest for $10 new. It's 1,079 pages with over 300 footnotes.

[Kirstin]

Justin's group is about to do a group read of Infinite Jest, if you're interested. :-)

[Michael]

Just started which I'm liking quite a bit so far.

[Nick]

But as I was downloading the audio of Infinite Jest I also stumbled onto the audiobook of Girl on a Train, and given my predilection for murders on trains, and girls....

Actually, Kirstin, they invited me, but I haven't responded because I saw the length of the thing. Thought I'd start and see if I could keep up.
