, Margaret Atwood's horrifying dystopian novel -- only slightly more horrifying than The Handmaid's Tale
-- but his reasons for listing these 5 books are sound. I may have to give Robert Pirsig and Kurt Vonnegut another try (since last picking up in high school).In other news: I can't seem to finish the whisper-thin book Night. I read a page, grimace and put it down.
Instead, I've been slowly finishing the last Harry Potter (yes, still -- 6 pages a night before bed in an 800 page novel takes a while) and have begun Patti Smith's most amazing memoir, Just Kids
. More on that to come. Just wow.
