All right, here's mine:

"Re-reads: "
*American psycho, BEE --masterpiece, gets better & better
*Huis-clos, Sartre -- genius
*Les fleurs du Mal, Baudelaire --one of the few poets I trully understand
*L'étranger, Camus --fucking amazing can't wait next year to read it again.

Reads:
*Catch-22, Heller --Really enjoyed it at first but repetitive, last third of the book was a drag. Too long for was it is.
*The Idiot, Dostoevsky --reallly boring although the style is stunning
*Lord of the flies, Golding -- great book
*Choke, Palahniuk -- funny, witty, characters are pretty cool but the plot unfolds badly. Interesting enough though the end is weird.
*Imperial Bedrooms, BEE --Bad, disappointed.
*Guards!Guards! -- hard to form an opinion on that one

Currently:
1/3 of Infinite Jest, DFW --you guys made me so curious by constantly posting about this book. Won't say more until full completion.

Next:
Notes from the underground or Walden or the great Gatsby or another DFW / Palahniuk.

I want to, I just haven't yet. Life is hard like that. Her books are short and fairly expensive.
