I finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz today. The book was a quick and interesting read. The characters are rich and unique and it has this conversational writing style that I really got into. I would highly recommend it.
Now I'm faced with the tough choice of what to read next. Maybe I'll go back to What is the What by Dave Eggers. Tree of Smoke by Denis Johnson just looks too intimidating for right now. I might have to do some free weight lifting before I start that book. Or maybe I should go to one of the classics that I have yet to read, which include To The Lighthouse, Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, Jane Eyre, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and works by Flannery O' Connor, among many others.

You should read To the Lighthouse so you can discuss it with me when I re-read it for British Literature!
....or not.
Yeah, I just might do that.
And did you see that Oscar Wao won the Pulitzer?
Cool.
That's awesome! I didn't see that, thanks for the news.
ok i love to the lighthouse but linds, please don't even enrage me if you go back to classics and don't choose you-know-what/who....
