 highly recommended. Half memoir, half post-grad social research project, American Nerd is as interesting as it is stirring making a flip subtitle seem like a cause worth fighting for. Your perspective on nerds, and the society that surrounds them will change forever.

 Part two of the trilogy and nearing the end of this. I go a couple of months with barely reading and within a week I'm nearly through 2 books.

Pride and Prejudice, anyone know if it's good. I've started readingand so far it's alright, I'm just wondering if it drags or that?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn sums it up. Women swoon, blah blah blah. Thanks Jane Austen, so glad you're mentally engaging me and creating interesting philosophical questions to explore within your literature. Chick lit, hundreds of years old. Monotonous stories remain equally monotonous no matter how cute their bonnets are.

Agreed, you should check out Wuthering Heights instead, at least some brutal **** goes down.
As for me, I'm just starting: Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. It's weird because this is by far the least developed books I've ever read by him. It's lacking subtlety and is very much a casual narration. Still, it delivers the goods. |
