>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 10 22:00:05 2011 No.1694380 this thread just made me realize that i haven't read a single book that was published in the past 5 years

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 10 22:01:05 2011 No.1694381 Haha, weird. I read Cloud Atlas this year and enjoyed most the six nested stories. And I also read Oscar Wao, and that was largely a disappointment.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 10 22:18:05 2011 No.1694414 >>1694409 if you look up "hipster elitist" in the dictionary you'll find his picture scratched out with the words "How dare you use this photo without going through my 'brand management'" written next to it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 10 22:44:05 2011 No.1694503 Skippy Dies, mother fuckers. Also: All the Living. Also Also: If it continues as it's been going, The Pale King. Anyway; Cloud Atlas and Oscar were both awesome. Franzen's a faggot. Thank you and good day.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 10 22:55:05 2011 No.1694537 Cloud Atlas is outside the timeframe, but Black Swan Green is 2006 and Pretty Nifty Another "not his best, but not too shabby" one, from 07, The Yiddish Policemen's Union
