I'm wrapping it up right now and I'm fascinated that some 1500 in, there's no lull in the action. Amazingly consistent read. And boy is it brutal...

I'm reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It's pretty typical Vonnegut, which for me is a good thing. I haven't had as much time to read it as I would like.

I picked up

"Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley,
"Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell, and
"God Is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchins. Hoping to have these read in the next couple of weeks.

I've read it. Flaws? Um .. I can't think of any of the top of my head. I'm not saying it's flawless. Have you found some?
