I would say start with the Border Trilogy. But they're all fucking amazing.

In my head, Tommy Lee was filming it…

A 9-iron in the vagina is a great way to avoid golf clap.

She just wanted a nice hard Glock.

The girl in the cubicle next to me has weird technicolor red hair and is always going on about how awesome Wendy's is…

Aliens.

To be fair she was gnawing on the guy's head while she was saying it.

Wayne LaPierre: "So Ms. McCarthy can fit a gun in her vagina. Big Deal. I can fit the entire US Congress in my pocket."

Marion "Sledge" Hammer just tweeted that she can fit Wayne LaPierre in her vagina.

LaPierre tweeted that he can fit a S&W and a Glock 9 (the new ceramic kind) and an extra clip in his vagina.

To be fair to O'neal, vagina sci-fi was never his strength.

That was awesome Sean…but I was getting more of a James Ellroy vibe there. McCarthy would've had at least one wolf.

I'm reading The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and
Murder about Charlie Cullen, perhaps the most prolific serial killer in history (he literally has no idea how many people he killed). Very well researched and written. Chilling in the extreme - not to mention an indictment of America's hospitals.

I agree. I loved The Ocean at the End of the Street. Nicely strightforward and economical. I enjoyed how Gaiman dressed the story up as a myth or fable more than a yarn. How he resisted the impulse to give the Hempsteads a backstory. It reminded my of Sandman in the he wasn't creating a world as much as revealing…

Has anyone ever read all seven volumes of Proust beginning to end without a break? Sheesh. Good luck. Choose your translation with care (unless you're going to read it in French - which was beyond my somewhat limited grasp of Victorian-era French idiom).

He had a sad life before entering show business? Wow, what a terrible life.

Well hell, you should go ahead and add Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle to your list.

By all means stick with it! You read the weak, diluted stuff (Eggers) and now you're mainlining the source. Far more potent. I first read it in The Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment and I was book-drunk for a year. I just re-read it in the Year of the Chewable Ambien Tab and found my DFW tolerance was much higher.

Thanks for the rec. I really enjoyed Life After Life.

Holy fuck but The Things They Carried is an amazing book. Anybody who likes it really should read Matterhorn. Probably the best - and most underrated - book about Vietnam.
