The best book you've read in the past year.

Mine is Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. Totally blew me out of the water.

I make everyone read it.

Yes, it counts. This has been on my list for a while. So it's cool if I borrow it?

Sleep Pale Sister by Joanna Harris. It's like the perfect book to read on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

i have to be honest. even if it is a tad lame.

but james frey's books. and i dont care if he is a liar, embellisher, deludonoid, or a massive romantic. i love his stories, fiction or fact. i would have read them even if they werent marketed as memoirs. fuck, i just love an unabashed romance.

edit. i just wanted to clarify. i only like certain romances. not like, pink tatty dog eared palm tree covered ones. that's all.

It's a tie Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and Go Ask Alice. Wide Sargasso Sea made me want to read it over and over again and Go Ask Alice made me think "holy fuck."

Same. It seriously fascinated me, I couldn't get enough.

Also Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. Totally unlike anything I'd ever read before, so brutally honest. I'm not usually a big fan of political accounts, but it was so damn good.

Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey and Crime And Punishment by Dostoyevsky, both are now on my all time favorites list. Also i think i read The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck in the last year but it may have been longer, it's a work of outstanding genius anyway.
