Just finished Mother Night by Vonnegut and and reading The Old Man and the Sea. Strange thing about old man and the sea. I made a book order from Indigo/Chapters (in canada) and I recieved that in the order even though it wasn't ordered. Didn't get billed for it so I don't know if it was a gift or something. Someone is telling me to read it and who am I to argue.

Last book I read was Thomas Pynchon's 'Against The Day.' - Loved it. (not as good as 'Gravity's' of course, but better than 'Vineland')
Next one up is Karen Armstrong's 'The Great Transformation.'

[QUOTE=Rainmaker]
It was good, there was a lot of insight into the man himself. It's a great story of discovering one's heritage and finding a path in life. I hope to read his new book at some point soon.

Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Just blazed through Cabinet of Curiosities (my first Preston/Child read), and decided to keep going with Pendergast.

I finished The Road by McCarthy this weekend and I really enjoyed it, as much as you can enjoy such a tragic depressing novel. I loved the simple, continuous, barebones storytelling and the fact that McCarthy lets the reader imagine for himself how the world became so destroyed. Caught some biblical references but I'm sure there were many that I missed. A truly harrowing tale.
Now reading Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow.
