Insert obligatory snark attack here.

And did anyone here make it through "House of Leaves" by Mark Danielewski?  I got a copy as part of my "Christmas bonus" at work, and I've heard it's one of those fascinatingly fucked-up reads, so I'm excited.

Quote from: neongenesis816Alexandr I Solzhenitsyn - The Gulag Archipelago

Have you read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich? It's fantastic. I would highly recommend it.

While on the topic of Russian lit gems, I recently finished Heart of a Dog by Bulgakov, it was by far one of the most entertaining reads I've come across. It's very short so it's an excellent book to take with you on a trip.
I'm laughing, but it's a laugh of impatience.

Quote from: She Who Lurks Beyond, Oracle of Doom

I didn't like it as much as Jitterbug Perfume or Skinny Legs and All.
Those were my two all time favorites.

I haven't read either of them, although I have Jitterbug Perfume.  Maybe I'll give it a go and come back to Roadside.

There have been one or two books I didnt like the first time around but did like the second time, so maybe it needs to sit for a while.

Have you read Cowgirls, Bella?

Hey Baron, how did all this work out for you? I have attempted to read both Another Roadside Attraction and Jitterbug Perfume and have never managed to get through them. I wanted to like Robbins but somehow couldn't get into him...wondering if there is something I missed.

Kind of like how you thought your plumber loved you until you found out that he just wanted your caulk?

I gave up on Another Roadside Attraction for the time being.  I will give it another go in a month or so, for now I have been reading I, Robot, which for some reason I had never read, but had always been meaning to.  Anyway, it's highly enjoyable.
