Like everyone I know read The Life of Pi. Like everyone I know hated The Life of Pi. Me too.

Weird. I and everyone I know liked it.

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?

[Diplomat]

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

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.

Fight Club and Survivor are my two favorite books by him.

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.
