BOOK THREAD #183746

plasticniki [Edit] [Delete] 11:29, 24 August '12

Okay then. For the past 2 weeks I've been commuting for two hours and fourty minutes every day. This means I've read LOADS of books. So far:

The Age of Absurdity by Michael Foley (great, some really nailed-on ideas, if a bit pretentious)

Penguin Lost by Andrey Kurkov (not as good as Death and the Penguin)

Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden (about a North Korean guy who was born in a prison camp but escaped, absolutely incredible and moving and upsetting, should be required reading for everyone)

A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan (really didn't like this, confused that it won the Pulitzer TBH, I found the characters abhorrent)

Player One by Douglas Coupland (oh faithful Coupland, I love you)

This morning I started The Savage Detectives. Should be good.

Now you...?
