I'll just echo the sentiments that The Stranger is really great.

À cause du soleil.

This may be a stupid question, so forgive me, but was The Stranger originally written/published in French? If so, is there a particular English translation you would recommend?

Im reading Nic Pizzolatto´s Galveston.

Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential

Sebald's Austerlitz

Austerlitz is one of the best books I've ever read.

As much as I'm enjoying it, I think I liked Rings of Saturn better. Both are amazing, regardless.

Salem's Lot.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on the new Kindle? Are the improvements worth paying for more than a Paperwhite?

Beautiful You by Chuck Palahniuk

Probably King's best. I love that book.

Just started The Lost City of Z. I'm really digging books about adventurers and explorers lately.

the sense of a rending

Oh! I started The Virgin Suicides because I've read both of Eugenides' other books, so I figured I should finish this off.

Lypsite's The Ask. So good.

The Peripheral
just started it but jesus christ, whatever it was that william gibson lost in his last couple books is back with a vengeance in this one.

Did you like The Marriage Plot? I started it but never finished.

I never read Virgin Suicides but I liked the movie.

It was okay. I am a huge fan of Middlesex, so it was hard to top. Virgin Suicides I like so far. I barely remember the movie; I went to an all-guys high school and the DVD was passed around my group of friends like a samizdat, discovering our sexuality and all that stuff. Honestly, I don't remember it even being that sexified.
