message 1821: by mstan (last edited Sep 11, 2011 05:44AM) (new)

mstan | 868 comments I'm reading The Art of Racing in the Rain for 5.10 and enjoying it a lot more than I expected (it's not the sort of book I'd pick up on my own), and also The Wednesday Wars for 30.9. I started American Psycho for 10.1 a few days back but put it aside for a while. All the brand names and coolly executed murders are a bit much to stomach all at once.

I have also started dipping into Let the Right One In for 10.10 on the kindle.
