I'm currently reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. Some other TBF members have already read it or have expressed an interest in reading it, so maybe a discussion would be nice.
I'm having fun reading it myself, but I've only made it as far as chapter V, so everything's possible. I'm a bit afraid the way the story is written might start bugging me soon, but I guess that can't be helped.

Will you be picking it up again?novella said:I started HWOSG, but I put it down, not because the writing was bad, but because I couldn't face that story at that time. (source)
