anyone into post-modern books like j. safran foer?

funny books? i'm looking for funny novels.

oh, and i like memoirs. i'll just throw that out there.

If you enjoy funny novels, try the Shopaholic series! Kind of a light read, but hilarious. :o)

I am finishing the last Harry Potter book. Finally got the time to read it and it's very enjoyable.

Blistered · Jan 11th, 2008, 01:23 AM

yes, shopaholic really does make me laugh out loud.

hp was good. (i like the books so much better than the movies, but sometimes i think that is only me)

I just finished
I'm looking through you- Growing up haunted by Jennifer Finney Boylan
I was a quick read only a few hours, was not what I was expecting, but pretty good.
Castle in the Forest by Norman Mailer- About Hitler as a young boy growing up, Fiction
My favorite from the last few weeks of reading was:
Lullabies for little criminals by Heather O'Neil
Fantastic book,heartbreaking and an award winner in Canada. She is a Canadian author if you can track down the book in the US I highly recommend it.
I'm working on the Life of Pi right now.

Blistered · Jan 11th, 2008, 01:52 AM

How is Life of Pi? I started reading it one summer, but never got around to finishing it?

Norman Mailer is good. I just read is book, "The Spooky Art." It was basically his thoughts on writing.

i don't have that much of a commitment to read a whole book..lol

I get bored soo fast...

Blistered · Jan 11th, 2008, 02:16 AM

short stories!

they are perfect for those of us with short attention spans (I will admit that i sometimes flip to the back of a novel just because i need to know what happens asap)

i totally recommend dorothy parker-- she funny. any other short story writers any of you recommend?

and if your attention span is really that small (the average att span is 7 secs!) u can try reading microfiction!

The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer

i_wona · Jan 11th, 2008, 06:25 AM

I just finished reading The Time Traveller's Wife - which was sad, but a nice easy read.

I found a copy of Flowers in the Attic by Viriginia Andrews on a bench at work (I'm going to take it back when I've finished) - it's terrible LOL

missisa07 · Jan 11th, 2008, 06:30 AM

How Luxury Lost Its Luster by Dana Thomas.

It's taking me forever to read because I've been so busy lately!

hahah I remember when that series was sooo popular! I never read any of them, but I can imagine them...

I was on vacation for 2 weeks and I got into Mitch Albom books. I read Tuesdays With Morrie, One More Day, and The Five People You Meet In Heaven. I would highly recommend them, they are quick to read and when you are done they leave you alot to think about.
