Using my magnificent powers of clairvoyance and divination, I am going to make a stunningly useless prediction: in the near future, my wife's book club will select Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail as their book of the month . . . Karen Long called it a "tougher, more feral" version of Eat, Pray Love and it's already got a long request queue at the library . . . I am planning on reading this book-- if I ever finish Cryptonomicon-- but I will in no way recommend it to any members of her book club (and hopefully they won't read this sentence) so that we can see if my prophetic acumen is accurate.
Funny. I thought I was the only one taking forever to get through Cryptonomicon. Hope Snow Crash goes more smoothly.
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure you guys are just making up book titles
ReplyDelete"snow crash" is fantastic. i believe it made my list of 105 books top read before you die.
ReplyDeletealthough i really like cryptonomicon, i can see myself not finishing it before i shuffle off this mortal coil.
It really starts to pick up around page 750.
ReplyDeleteso i'm somewhere around 650, so i've got to power through the next hundred pages . . . but the problem is that each page-- density wise-- is equivalent to twenty pages of a regular book
