I had a complete love/hate relationship with this book after I read it.
that's what i hear from everyone that's read it, hopefully i'll be able to get through it...it's kind of a struggle.

Atlas Shrugged sits in my bookcase - untouched.  I have not had the guts to touch it... don't really even know what to expect.

I have fear.
Classic.

I just finished Down And Dirty Pictures last week. My opinion can be found here.

I felt like I needed to read some uplifting, rather blithely spirited literature, so  I picked:

As I Lay Dying by William Faukner.

Child Of God by Cormac McCarthy.

Myxo

This just shipped today.


Sleuth

I like to hug dogs

I read that a while ago, and am about to start on another one of his books "The Wanting Seed."  Anyone read that?
