Yelping with Cormac

Although I swore I wouldn't read it, I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It gave me nightmares. But, I think I'll read a sequel or maybe even two.

Would I read a sequel to The Road? It still makes my flesh crawl. But I did get a kick out of reading the blog Yelping with Cormac, restaurant reviews written in the style of Cormac McCarthy.

Big (Drunken) Holiday Reading Fest

OK, so the last suggestion was a stinker. Let's take Susy's suggestion, read the last 100 pages and talk about that. How about that and something we actually like?

Here are some new ideas:

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

Empire of the Ants by Bernard Werber

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption, by Laura Hillenbrand

The Borrower by Rebecca Makai

Polls close Monday, 4:45pm.
