Fair enough. I didn't even know there were others! Well I think I may give Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs a try then. Chuck Klosterman is an amusing writer to read.

I like the diary concept of it. I'm not too far in right now, though. It's actually a Dracula/Frankenstein book. I might read Frankenstein if I have the time.

Great book - the story of Dracula has enchanted me since I was a kid. I've watched the film countless times and I read the book for 6th form English back in high school.

I'm doing exams atm so I'm not reading anything... but I intend to read Moby Dick when I get the chance. And I want to read through the Latin original of the Aeneid (book II) to see if I can still do it.

Frankenstein is my absolute favourite text, ever. Mary Shelley version of course.

I'm reading this right now, it's awesome. Anyone with an interest in philosophy/existentialism should check it out:

Lev Shestov - Athens and Jerusalem - ToC

It's hard to stop reading, for me at least.

Check out Wigfield by Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Stephen Colbert.

Hilarious!

Eons by Greg Bear. I've just started it, Blood Music was great and Darwin's Radio was alright, if a little weighty, so I've got high expectations. The concept looks great, I bought it at a local bookstore just from reading the back.
