Almost finished with Vernon God Little, as recommended by KKF. This book is pretty damn good.

A couple different existential/phenomenological philosophy texts for scholastic purposes.

The Kite Runner is just average in terms of entertainment value in my opinion. While at first the plot-line intrigued me, the last third of the book gets a little tiresome, and the main character got on my nerves. I felt like he was too simplistic. However, the character development of a couple of the characters is nicely done.

However, the various cultural aspects make it worth reading for sure. After reading so many books that take place in the United States, The Kite Runner a great change of pace, and pretty interesting.

All I'm saying is if you're reading it just for entertainment value, you might be disappointed.

Just started last night. About 50/400 pages in and so far it's off to a really interesting start.

Read Monster a few years ago, I thought it was good but at points dragged (ok, I understand you killed people, can we move on?). All in all though, worthwhile.

I'm just finishing a book called "The Psycho Ex Game", Merrill Markoe and Andy Prieboy, it was fun.

I just read Island of Dr. Monreau by H.G Wells

I definitely recommend it (although I bet a lot of you already have read it). There's some really cool stuff in it; I might re-read it.
