One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – Ken Kesey 2 days ago

Great read. I’m a big fan of the flick, so checking out the book was fun. The perspective from which the story is told adds a whole new depth.



A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess 2 days ago

Finished 5 days ago. It took a few pages to become accustomed to the lingo. The story was dark, but great. I’ll have to check out the movie to see how it compares.



The Satanic Verses – Salman Rushdie 2 days ago

Finished 9 days ago. Intensely strange. Rushdie sure jumps around in this one. It was wacky, and a little long, but okay nonetheless.



The Shroud - John Banville 2 weeks ago

Completed a few days ago. Pretty good. The story jumped around a bit, but it was all within context.



963. A Sentimental Journey - Laurence Sterne 3 weeks ago

Just finished.

Whaaaa? Very confused throughout as the exact plot line but the story was interesting when understandable.

101



Fury – Salman Rushdie 3 weeks ago

Finished last night. Definitely a different one. Very topical for when it was written.



Drop City – T. C. Boyle 3 weeks ago

Finished a week ago. Liked this one alot. The hippy-ish, out-doorsy theme made is a fun read. There were some heavy moments, but the characters really shined.



The Sea - John Banville 1 month ago

Finished a few days ago.



Slow Man – J.M. Coetzee 1 month ago

This was okay I guess. The main character from Elizabeth Costello makes quite the lengthy appearance. Not a bad read all in all.



970. The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia - Samuel Johnson 1 month ago

Finished on Friday.

Fairly interesting though had boring sections. Short yet took forever to find time and interest to get through.

Finished 10% now!! #100!
