I'm reading this at the moment. Only a few chapters in but it's a very interesting and engaging read. I really enjoy his writing style so far, but I've heard it can get kind of tiring. We'll see.

That is an EXCELLENT book

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is great too

Nope. The only Silverberg book I've ever read was Kingdoms of the Wall many years ago. Like I mentioned earlier I've been on this big sci-fi kick recently so, since I'm almost done with Ringworld, I decided to pick up a couple more at the library. The World Inside was a semi-random choice from the Silverberg books they had. I don't know anything about it but just picked it because I liked the cover. My version looks like this:

I like EII better, but mostly because of the historical parts of the book, where he's talking about Brod's father and **** (I forget his name). Those were awesome chapters. And the part about the "seeing eye bitch" Sammy Davis Junior Junior was hilarious

I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
It was cheap and I heard so many good things about it.

Yeah I'm enjoying the historical parts. Wish I knew more about Judaism and stuff... I feel it'd give me a bigger perspective or something. I dunno
