Breaking Dawn is the best of the saga... too bad that the end feels like it's rushed (700 freaking pages and not ending!). The beginning is quite constipated. But since you already went through the first three books, i guess you're used to the pace.

If you really want to pick up the pace, skip to the middle of the book. Yeah, skip the first person narration change (you know what i'm talking about since you read Eclipse).

Nicholson Baker - A Box of Matches.

I enjoyed Vox, but to me this one is like a Seinfeld episode, truly about nothing. There've been one or two good lines in it, but other than that it's totally empty. Am I missing something?

Also the Complete HP Lovecraft, which is slow going.

Y the Last Man was awesome, and I do need to reread Watchmen, although I don't know if I should do it before or after seeing the movie.

It was okay, definitely not one of the better Grisham novels.

Just finished 'Silent Bob Speaks' by Kevin Smith. Not bad but enjoyed 'My Boring Ass Life' better.
