House of Holes by Nicholson Baker
The most recent novel by one of my favorite authors. I'm only one chapter in but I have high hopes based on this this blurb:

Quote:

Shandee finds a friendly arm at a granite quarry. Ned drops down a hole in a golf course. Luna meets a man made of light bulbs at a tanning parlor. So begins Nicholson Baker’s fuse-blowing, sex-positive escapade, House of Holes. Baker, the bestselling author of The Mezzanine, Vox, and The Fermata, who “writes like no one else in America” (Newsweek), returns to erotic territory with a gleefully over-the-top novel set in a pleasure resort, where normal rules don’t apply. Visitors, pulled in via their drinking straws or the dryers in laundromats, can undergo crotchal transfers . . . make love to trees . . . visit the Groanrooms and the twelve-screen Porndecahedron . . . or pussy-surf the White Lake. It’s very expensive, of course, but there are work-study programs. In charge of day-to-day operations is Lila, a former hospital administrator whose breast milk has unusual regenerative properties.

Nice. I'm excited to have someone to talk about it with!

My journalism teacher recommended this to me. Essentially it's a book that explores Christian spirituality as opposed to the Christian religion. It was very well written, the novel had myriad brilliant metaphors intertwined with the central message of the novel. However, there were several ridiculously cheesy "...and god loves me because..." moments and the ending fizzled out and died. For the experience and contemplation on the difference between religion and spirituality, I'd say that this is a 7/10. I'd suggest it to someone who is quick to question their religion but still wants to remain faithful to that religion.

Scanner darkly! I read it 7 times so far, I'm sure I'll read it at least 7 times more. If you haven't seen it, check out the movie version - it has great cast, great acting, amazing visuals and apart from just a couple of scenes, follows the book closely.
