Right now it's Netherland by Joseph O'Neill, which is absolutely spectacular. Definitely deserves all the praise it's been getting! It's also encouraged me to go re-read The Great Gatsby, which I'll pick up when I'm done. |
Your school librarian should be fired. Also she is either not very smart or a liar. It's impossible to be bored by Moby ****, not like it fine, but it's anything but boring.

Very valid criticism.
