My first stephen king novel. Looking forward to it, I hear Stephen king is exceptional.
I'm around halfway through "A million pieces" by James Frey - great book, I can't put it down.
Just finished:
An interesting look into the life of an eccentric physicist.
Re-reading:
Great non-fiction adventure novel about life in desolation sound.

Didn't he make a bunch of the content up, to bulk up the story?

Probably, but I treat most things I read as fiction anyways so as long as the writing is good..
Lots of interesting reading on this list.
just picked up a used copy of dfw's last (unfinished) novel - i didn't even know it had come out yet!
pity the nation goes on hold again!
I read an excerpt and I'm not sure I could bear much more. A novel about a boring man doing a boring job. Even admiring reviewers have called it 'stupefyingly dull'. I also failed to penetrate Infinite Jest - which I own. I'm usually not defeated by fiction but IJ beat me. I may give it another chance during a calm stretch of life if that comes.
I just started this:
I'm not far yet but it seems very interesting. After reading The World Without Us and a couple by Jared Diamond, a little optimism would be nice.

It's sold millions of copies, and he's made millions. Guess it really doesn't matter, but here's an article.

hmm, start with the short stories? or don't; once you start finding diamonds in those mines you'll go to any lengths ("Stupefyingly dull!") for a hit of dfw's sneaky brilliance. pale horse is almost too fitting as his last offering - because getting through his finished long work isn't difficult enough, let's try reading an unfinished, barely edited patchwork of meditations on boredom that helped drive their author past the brink
