Posted: 11/29/06 at 4:01pmLaVieHilary, you might like The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It's not about drug or alcohol addiction, but it's semi-autobiographical (that's a mouthful..) and it deals with a young woman having a mental breakdown. Not exactly like A Million Little Pieces, but I think you'd like it if you haven't already read it :)
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

Posted: 2/2/07 at 10:27pmMisterMatt: Yeah, I'm a huge King fan. Like I said, I thought the book was a bit on the silly side, but I loved it anyway. I read it in one day. As for Saving Fish, the only other Amy Tan I've ever read was The Bonesetter's Daughter, which I also loved... Should I bother with her other ones, or are they just way too "girly?"

I just finished Raymond Chandler's THE LONG GOODBYE, which was very good and made me wonder what on earth Robert Altman thought he was doing when he made that film.
I picked up David Foster Wallace's INFINITE JEST, which I have already read 4 times. I don't know if I'll get all the way through it, but it has been on my mind a lot lately.

Finishing HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. Enjoying it for the most part, a bit long and ungainly. I'm surprised at how sanitized the movie was in comparison with the book.
Next up: some Philip K. Dick, probably.
