Man, I seriously need to pick a book already. I've gone well over a week without having a book by my side -- how depressing is that?

I need to just pick something and read it. . . .(

Nonsense. I'll pick one for you. The Keep by Jennifer Egan.

The problem with that is I don't have the book right now.

My decision is really between a few books I have here...including:

The Trial of Joan of Arc
Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson
Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein
Spook Country - William Gibson
American Pastoral - Philip Roth
White Noise - Don Delillo
and, as always, my last ditch effort to read Les Miserables before I die.

I really want to read The Trial of Joan and Arc, and should technically read it first as it is on loan from my father, but I'm still more inclined toward science fiction so I'm reluctant to pull away from Stephenson and Gibson and the like.

I make things very complicated and far more difficult than they ever need to be. Tragic character flaw.

But I will keep your suggestion in mind for the next time I go book hunting.

I'm re-reading "The Time Traveler's Wife." It's definitely my favorite love story; I haven't seen the movie yet though.

On Monday I will start listening to "The Women" by T.C. Boyle. Sometime this weekend I will begin reading "The Most They Ever Had" by Rick Brag.

it was hard for me to get through this book. It took me quite awhile.

It always takes me a while too, especially toward the end. The first half is all happy and full of love, then the second half gets pretty depressing.

A Million Little Pieces - James Frey

Right now I'm giving "To Kill a Mockingbird" a chance. When I was in 10th grade, all of the classes read it... except mine of course!

Everybody told me how boring they thought it was, so I put it off, but everybody here seems to love it, and I trust your opinions more than a lot of people in my grade, so now I'm reading it.
