And you don't know if it's really good before you've read 100-200 pages. I just feel like putting my time elsewhere, so I'll probably mostly remain ignorant of great fiction novels. Call me when there's a movie adaptation

You into romance at all? You should read Catch-22.

I've seen many good drama movies about romance, so that would be a yes.

Read a bit about it on Wikipedia. Seems interesting enough. I've added it to my list of books I should check out.

Probably the funniest book I've ever read apart from Hitchhiker's Guide tbh.

Same as far as I can remember. Although if we're including nonfiction The Sex Lives of Cannibals and A Walk in the Woods are hysterical.

So. Good. Must read if you're trying to figure out the mechanics of writing. Maybe not quite as good as King's On Writing, but more helpful in a practical sense. Hard to put down, and the short chapters leave me considering a lot of bite-sized ideas for a long time.

I've been re-reading The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher again. I'm on Fool Moon. Also, tonight I started on Prejudices: First Series by H.L. Mencken.

****, Synners is so ****ing awesome. Almost halfway through, and each new chapter is like a orgasm of bat****tery. I wanna travel back in time and kick myself in the balls for limiting my teenage Cyberpunk phase to the Sprawl trilogy and Snowcrash.

Weird. Funny. Creative. And just plain cool. Have no ****ing how it's going to end.
