Because I'm indecisive

[lorie_journal]

I don't know what to read next. I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for. The unread pile on my bookshelf includes:

• Watchmen
  
• Inuyasha vol. 1-3
  
• Eragon
  
• Fast Food Nation
  
• The Road
  
• Battle Angel Alita
  
• Vagabond vol. 4 (I've never read vol. 1-3. Why do I even have this?)
  
• A Contract with God
  
• The Sea of Trolls
  
• Bel Canto
  
• The Pilot's Wife
  
• The Kite Runner

The only books I've read from your list are The Kite Runner and Reading Lolita in Tehran. The Kite Runner is a nice, easy read (technically speaking, not so much emotionally). I liked it, but it wasn't as amazing as people had made it out to be. Reading Lolita in Tehran was good and very eye-opening, though I didn't always understand the works of literature that were being referenced. I think you would enjoy it more than I did because you are probably more familiar with the books she uses to tell the story. Both books made me very thankful for the freedoms I take for granted.

Reading Lolita in Tehran might be a good choice because I've been feeling like I haven't read any meatier books lately. They both sound good, though.

Have you ever read The Lovely Bones? I had the same feelings about that as you had about The Kite Runner, that it wasn't as amazing as I expected it to be from things I had heard/read others say about it.

I vote Watchmen, Fast Food Nation, or The Color Purple. Only read Neverwhere if you've never seen the TV version.

Oh, I didn't notice Neverwhere on the list. I really liked that one. I'd recommend that one if you're looking for something fun to read. The two I mentioned above are quite serious, really.

Well, with two votes, it looks like I should definitely try Neverwhere. I'll have to see if I'm in more of a fun or serious mood when I go to pick up a new book. But of course, in the meantime, I've gotten a book from the library...

Sure, that's fine. I can't promise that I post a lot, but you're welcome to add me.
