John Dies at the End by David Wong (comedy! horror!)

Right now I'm reading Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, which, by the way, I started before Oprah selected it as her most recent book club pick (not that it matters).

                                             

For my birthday I received Carolyn Parkhurst's The Nobodies Album, Sara Gruen's Ape House and I Thought You Were Dead by Pete Nelson, all tantalizing me from the shelf.

          

I also want to read a book called The Wave by Susan Casey, about huge ocean waves, kind of science-y and seems to combine some story with weather/ocean science, etc., maybe along the lines of A Perfect Storm. It looks fascinating and it starts well.

                                     

Right now I don't feel as though I can read fast enough. There truly are too many books, and not enough time...
