I really enjoyed it, Tender is The Night was hard going though.

Anyone read it?

I'm miles behind.

I started Phillip Pullman's The Subtle Knife just after Christmas and still have to finish it off.

Hopefully then I'll move onto The Amber Spyglass - never got round to it on my first venture into the trilogy.

My brother got me Mein Kampf for Christmas, so I guess that'll be the conquest after. Can't wait

I've started on Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, although I'm thinking it might have been a mistake...

Nearly finished the first of three 1000-page volumes, and I must have been reading it since October which is a ridiculously long time. It's a great novel, no doubt, but the time it's taking to get through is starting to get to me.

Anyone here read the whole cycle?

I'm reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, and on the strength of the first third I can't recommend it enough. It's about an overweight latino nerd from Da Hood and the fuku curse on him and his family. It's brilliantly written with randoms bits of slangy spanish and uber geek references. Very funny, very cool, very readable.

Mein Kampf is tedious beyond belief, writing wasn't Hitler's strong point, I think he found his niche in the end (dick'ed)

Can anyone recommend any good music biography books? Rock/Blues stuff? Not really a fiction person, kinda like reading about peoples lifes when its not in a tabloid way..
