I've heard good things about Stranger than Fiction but haven't picked it up yet. I started reading Choke, but couldn't really get into it. Maybe that's what's putting me off..

East of Eden slays me every time I read it. I haven't read it since early in college, so maybe I need to read it again. I think I read everything by Steinbeck during high school, and you really can't go wrong.

Against the Gods is also pretty sweet.

I unfortunately am reading almost entirely trash right. I've never read Stephen King before, so I'm trying the Dark Tower.

I have a few books I never quite finished, such as Lost Languages, and Beyond Fear - I need to work on those.

Is it bad if I refuse to read Da Vinci Code and Devil in a White Dress only because just about everyone on the train is reading one or the other?

It took a while to gain momentum, but wasn't bad. Wouldn't call it fantastic though.

Re: Summer Reading
 

Yeah I think Against the Gods will be pretty neat. I rarely read anything like it and have heard very good things.

I started East of Eden today, so far so good.

I'll third or fourth this vote. It was good but short (about 200pgs)for $26, borrow it if you can. I'm just finishing Vonnegut's short story collection Welcome to the Monkey House which is excellent. Reading Slaughterhosue five next.
