I highly recommend Half the Sky. The Road is depressing and I almost feel like I'm worse off for having read it. I usually only feel that way about Bret Easton Ellis books.

The Scott Pilgrim books are pretty darn good. I don't know why, but I just hated Y: The Last Man as soon as I read the first two. I have no defense.

Currently I'm reading through the entirety of Grimm's fairy tales. Next I think I'll read that Roald Dahl compilation I believe you left us.

I really want to read Manhood for Amateurs now.

Did you know there is a Scott Pilgrim movie coming out with Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim? I don't know how I feel about that.
