Picked it up at a some sort of used goods store for half a buck. Purple prose, imperialism, casual racism, oh my!

I just finished White Teeth, and for an author with a good sense of humour who writes so well, **** was it a dull read.

Haha whoops, my bad, but we did read that one and I ended up listing it as a Shakespeare book when I meant it as an upperclassmen book as a whole. Foolish drunkenness pushes me to moronic musicbanter posts once again...

Damn, is that the one that you said was taking a long time to read on goodreads?
The cover looked so inviting.

I'm not one for murder mysteries but I really enjoyed this one. I suppose that's why it's touted as the best selling murder mystery of all time :p

It is a good book. Too bad about the original title (and cover design) though:

Like I said, casual racism. I've only just started it, but it already described someone as having "Semitic lips."

Oh, Agatha Christie, you racist you.

Yeah, I don't know if it was because it took me two months to read it or just what, but it was tough to get through.

More Dune! I aim to read Children of Dune as well but I don't plan on finishing out the series. If anyone has read all 6 books and wants to comment on whether or not it's worth it, feel free...
