I have this book and I love it. It's a fairly good list, in my opinion. I mark off a book once I've read it. I'll have to go through later and see how many I've read. The illustrations and synopsis for each book is fantastic as well.

Fun, light books, by people such as Chelsea Handler, Tucker Max, or Augusten Burroughs do the trick occasionally. Handler and Tucker have books that are a compilation of biographical stories, with each chapter as a new story. Same with Burrough's Possible Side Effects and Magical Thinking...

Rhett Butler for sure. No literary characters can compare to Scarlett O'Hara or Rhett Butler, in my mind. And although I read the book before I saw the movie, the two were so wonderfully cast that Vivienne Leigh and Clark Gable will forever be Scarlett and Rhett.

The Crying of Lot 49, Thomas Pynchon Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson Portnoy's Complaint, Philip Roth

She made it clear in the book too that she was and is doing all she can do bring autism to the forefront. It was an inspiring read. McCarthy did everything she possibly could in order to help her son, including many alternative therapies, such as a restricted diet and ridding Evan's body of...

I think Falling Man, by Don DeLillo, is the only book I've had to quit midway through, so that would be the worst book for me so far this year.

Louder Than Words, Jenny McCarthy Not something I'd usually choose but my bookclub chose it for this month, so I feel that I must read it.

The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot Loot and Other Stories, Nadine Gordimer The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvior

I just got four books from Borders. Each book was only a dollar! The Little Balloonist, Linda Donn Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn, Gary M. Pomerantz 109 East Palace, Jennet Conant Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism, James W. Loewen

The movie is wonderful but cannot compare to the book. :)

Awful, awful book in my opinion. So tedious.

So so many. The DaVinci Code, which I have no intention of reading but which most people expect me to. A lot of the other books mentioned in this thread I have yet to read but most of them I plan to read at some point, with the exception of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. The former...

What did you read last month? Victorian London, Liza Picard Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand The Year of Living Biblically, A.J. Jacobs The Mayflower, Nathaniel Philbrick Possible Side Effects, Augusten Burroughs Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Chuck Klosterman The Corrections...

Rabbit Redux, John Updike Now I only need Rabbit is Rich.

Beasts, Joyce Carol Oates None to Accompany Me, Nadine Gordimer

I found a lot of typographical errors in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. They were mostly very silly--a lot of times just a letter left out of a word. I found it irritating after awhile.
