RE: Jimger Ale......so what books are you currently reading?

Moving right along.
Doot Do Doo
On another note I was wondering what books are floating around in the mind's
eyes of all the bananafish.
I am currently reading Tender is the Night by Fitzgerald, Fight Club by Chuck
Palahniuk, and Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. I had to step away from
Tender is the Night for a bit because Rosemary was just becoming too much too
handle. Fight Club seemed like a nice alternative, a quick gritty read with
some content thrown in in short sharp bursts. And then there is Infinite
Jest, the month long read as a professor of mine calls it. Infinite Jest is a
phenomenal book but there is only so much talk about AA at one time I can
handle. When I have more time and a clearer head I will finish it. Then on
to Dubliners by Joyce and Gravity's Raibow by Pynchon. How about all of you?
