Really? I heard it's really cool, like how the essays are presented in the format of a CD tracklisting. Eh. Must give it a miss then.

Well the first book lives up to the hype, but the others are vastly overrated.

Fair enough. I didn't even know there were others! Well I think I may give Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs a try then. Chuck Klosterman is an amusing writer to read.

I taught that book last semester, it is great :)

I like the diary concept of it. I'm not too far in right now, though. It's actually a Dracula/Frankenstein book. I might read Frankenstein if I have the time.

Great book - the story of Dracula has enchanted me since I was a kid. I've watched the film countless times and I read the book for 6th form English back in high school.

I'm doing exams atm so I'm not reading anything... but I intend to read Moby Dick when I get the chance. And I want to read through the Latin original of the Aeneid (book II) to see if I can still do it.

Frankenstein is my absolute favourite text, ever. Mary Shelley version of course.

That's the one I got.

I'm reading this right now, it's awesome. Anyone with an interest in philosophy/existentialism should check it out:

Lev Shestov - Athens and Jerusalem - ToC

It's hard to stop reading, for me at least.
