This thread has inspired me to buy some books after a long time.

Will read: House of God, The Brothers Karamazov, and I am America, and So Can You (couldn't resist this one)

The brothers Karamazov is good....I recommend: "Crime and punishment"

Reading that book might make you hate humanity if you haven't already.

Does anyone else think A Clockwork Orange was a terrible book? No? Just me? Ok.

I didn't particularly enjoy it. I finally quit reading about two-thirds of the way through. I'll probably pick it up again sometime in the future. Every so often I'll hate something, put it away, pull it out later, and love it the next time. Go figure.

A recent NYT bestseller that I absolutely *adored*: The Elegance of the Hedgehog

All time favorite author: Shel Silverstein. Am I the only person here that's nuts enough to admit that in an interview?

Interviewer: Favorite book/author?

Me: Where the Sidewalk Ends
