Invisible Monsters was pretty good. My favorite is a toss-up between Survivor and Fight Club. I like his older stuff.
QUOTE(Cristy @ Apr 9 2010, 09:37 PM) Because you've read so much of it or because its quality is decreasing? It's not that the quality is decreasing. He's just going in a more sci-fi direction. Like I said, I prefer his older stuff. |

I like reading stories about the old Chinese practice of footbinding, I don't know why. I even wrote a short story about it for my AP English class last year. |

D: I finished Plath's Winter Trees, which is amazing and reaffirms my love for her writing, despite and because of how dark, poignant, and relatable it is. |
