I really liked Zone One but I read it so that probably makes a difference, especially pace wise. Also, not having much if a personality is a big part of the narrator's idea of himself, especially at the beginning.
This is the first month in a long time that I'm skipping book club. I just couldn't force myself to read Kerouack (Dharma Bums). I understand it's better than On the Road, but still.
I found Zone One so flat.
I liked On the Road, but it did not fill me with desire to read more Kerouac.
Oh, I've heard of that one, Gris. Gets mentioned in zombie fic conversations all the time.
That's cool to know. I used to teach with the author. Nice guy.
Went to the library and it seemed to be closed but the doors were open so I grabbed two audiobooks like a ninja:
The Giver
read by Ron Rifkin (aka SLOANE)
and
The Night Circus
read by Jim Dale.
Did you read Night Circus already, PC?
Ooooh, I look forward to seeing whether P-C thinks it's a great book or the greatest book.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Dale narration though.
A book (for younger readers) about the worst pet EVER.
