I definitely did not "get" Catcher in the Rye. The ending made it a little better, but I think I would have been better off reading that at 16.
Trying to decide now if I want to read The Secret History by Donna Tartt or Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt next. |

I've been trying to determine which of the Discworld novels I read. I took out all those I could find on my bookshelves and added them to my library on Librarything, but there are still holes. I started reading Pratchett at a time I was traveling a lot, and I tended to leave books in hotels or airports after I had finished them to avoid too much clutter at home. There are several that I'm pretty sure I read, but don't seem to have any longer. Anyway, it does look like I never read the first one, The Colour of Magic. Hmmmm... |

The first one is one of his best - comedy wise. Plus - it never hurts to re-read Pratchett - his characters keep popping up in different books - and it's fun to find them out of their "proper" sub-series. |

Hey ChickenBear-
Did you know the Penguin retired to Costa Rica? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...296#post934296 That's another avatar you've chased out of here. He's probably in some bar right now, crying in his beer to his new friend, Sparky! ![]() |

Opps! thought I was in another thread! Better get back on topic before anyone notices!
![]() Currently reading 59 Seconds by Richard Wiseman. Fascinating as all get-out! An unusual sort of self-help book written by a researcher into the small nooks and crannies of life normally overlooked. Among other things, he says: - if you want to buy happiness, spend your money on experiences, not possessions. - scientifically speaking, if you want to help yourself, help others. - smiling is not only a sign of happiness, it's a cause. - one of the best ways to convince people of anything is to tell about your pet frog.
