Hello
I heard of Cormac McCarthy while reading an Ebert review of he movie "The Proposition". Picked up a copy of Blood Meridian and my joy for reading was born. Since then, I've read stuff from Ellroy, Pynchon, DeLillo, McCarthy (of course), Roth, Nabokov. I even enjoy things less serious like Lindsay's Dexter series. I'll still pick up a non-fiction book every once in awhile - I really enjoy Mark Bowden and David Simon's stuff.
I hope to find and share some good reads on this forum. Now I need to decide whether to finish the 2nd half of Underworld, continue on Infinite Jest (about 20 pages in), or crack open Shantaram for the first time. The thought of 2400+ pages on my to read shelf is quite intimidating. Perhaps I can procrastinate a bit longer here.
