Over halfway through Under the Dome now. I will start the next segment, "Salt", next.

This book has kept me more than entertained up until this point. I just have a feeling my love for the book will hinge on the end. Hope it's not a disappointment.

thats the part i'm up too as well. i've really enjoyed it so far. much better than duma key. i wonder how barbie is going to get out of this situation

The Color Purple is my favourite book. It's so great.
I like the way it's written in letters, but I'm not far enough in yet to have a real opinion.

His writing may be minimalistic, but McCarthy's themes are immense. His ability to use simple, terse description along with amazing imagery to conjure up these huge questions is what makes him brilliant. He's a very careful writer.

Not sure but I can't wait to find out.

I imagine Big Jim Rennie would be played by Clancy Brown:

I'm in the middle of Breakfast of Champions and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I've also started Love in the Time of Cholera but that is going to take a bit longer because I wanted to read it in Spanish.

Looks like lots of people read multiple things at once. No way I can do that.

The only time I read two books at once was probably in high school and even then I hated doing it. I also don't like stopping a book in the middle, reading a different book, and then picking the first one back up. I'll just read it straight through no matter how long it takes me.

Usually start a new book when I'm not in the mood to read what I have started. I don't go overboard though, 3 is usually my max.

This. I won't give up on a book, if I start it I will push through and finish it.

So, quick question to anyone who's read 2666 AND The Savage Detectives:

In the description of Lalo Cura's birth, it talks about how his mother "met two students from Mexico City in the desert who said they were lost but appeared to be fleeing something and who, after a dizzying week, she never saw again. The students lived in their car and one of them seemed to be sick." Is that Ulisses Lima and Arturo Bolano from the Savage Detectives? And if yes, does that make one of them Cura's father?

I wish I could find a chapter analysis of Blood Meridian. There are a couple of parts in the chapter I'm currently getting through where the meaning eludes me ( more specifically, the cart with the eye as well as the kid's remark after the other character wakes up with a bat on him )

I'm about to finish The Color Purple, which I have enjoyed.
I don't know what I'm going to read next, probably No Country For Old Men.

I need to stop buying so many books. I'm up to 8 now that I still need to read.
