The Wooden Sea by Jonathan Carroll.

Why? Cuz his stories start out like something out of every day life and then get twisted inside out.

ANYTHING by Nick Hornby. Read one of his books and you'll wanna read 'em all. I especially recommend "High Fidelity", "How To Be Good" and "Songbook". thumbs up!

Anytime someone wants to talk books, let me know! So far this summer, I've read:

1. Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim -- David Sedaris
2. Presidential Leadership
3. Booty Nomad -- Scott Mebus (trashy fun)
4. A Home at the End of the World -- Michael Cunningham (excellent writer)
5. The DaVinci Code -- Dan Brown (because the peer pressure to read it finally got the best of me, and it WAS engaging...)
6. The Old Man and the Sea -- Ernest Hemingway (because it had been YEARS since I last read it)

I'm about to start on "Everything is Illuminated." Anyone read that yet? I've heard it's good.

I got this for Christmas last year but I've only gotten through a chapter or so of it so far. redface What I read of it was good, I just kept getting sidetracked by other stuff.

In honor of Istenszek's return everyone should read House of Leaves.

One of the most interesting books I've read in years.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
