Though a fan of his oeuvre overall, I have been quite disappointed by Chuck Palahniuk’s last 3 novels: Rant, Snuff, and most recently, Pygmy. I am, however, currently and thoroughly enjoying The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster.
And while I’m on the topic, I might as well mention how much I loved Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections. Devoured it back in February while vacationing in Mexico. On the plane, next to the pool, couldn’t put it down. 566 pages, and I still didn’t want it to end. Remember kids, reading is fundamental. Emphasis on fun.
