Re: What are you currently reading?
I'm reading Life Before Man by Margaret Atwood. It's her only novel that I haven't read. Feels so weird to be so close to completing the list. And it's only further compounded by the fact that I'll never actually be able to complete the list, since her final novel will be published 100 years from now.

What'd you think? I liked it better than Gone Girl, since Girl on the Train's ending is more plausible.turned2black wrote:

Re: What are you currently reading?
Wolf in White Van is so... strange. And beautiful. And I can't seem to shake it. I think if I'd read it between the ages of 16 and 21, it might be my all time favorite book. Or if I'd read it before Fight Club, maybe it would have had the impact on me that Fight Club had. I don't know. I can't quite make sense of the book or my feelings or what I'm trying to say.
Sorry.
Sorry.
