Reading is Sexy :)

Came here from the General Board, it was suggested this is a better place for my post...

Hence the lit in literotica...

Anyone wanna discuss books they love? Are currently reading?
I recently reread Don DeLillo's Libra, a novel surrounding the Kennedy assassination, and it was just as much a whirlwind as the first time. So many facts mixed in the fiction, that is if the fiction parts really are that and the 'facts' are that as well... DeLillo is so great at literary paranoia, love that guy!

I'm addicted to it, fiction and non.

Would you like any suggestions? What are you looking to get into?

Well, this year I've delved deeply into Carson McCullers. I managed to get both volumes of her works in the Library of America series for a great deal from a local used bookstore.

'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' is her first novel and most well-known. It is great, but I liked 'Reflections in a Golden Eye' and 'The Member of the Wedding' even better. 'Clock Without Hands' is great also, and that book and 'Reflections...' tackle non-straight themes very well and were ahead of their time (1940s through 1960s).
Her short stories are pretty great, too

The heart is a lonely hunter is excellent.

I just read A Gentleman In Moscow by Amor Towles. I’m apparently late to the party; never had heard of the author or book before last weekend. It was refreshingly written but I felt it too personally, like watching Dadaist snippets of my own life play out in a Muppet Show episode.

I'm new to this author as well... Just read a bit about the book, and if it is personal for you, your life must be very interesting indeed
