@bradstevens Not the best or not the 2nd best? I'll get in a ring over this one.

So what are we reading? Right now, I'm mostly reading whatever @BradStevens tells me to read, which is currently A Confederacy of Dunces. But I've also got Ellis Peters A Morbid Taste for Bones queued up, which is the first of his Brother Cadfael medieval murder mysteries.

@goat ignatius’ letter to a disgruntled customer is an all time favorite.  Limit future correspondence to orders.  Yours in anger

@larsiu 

Let's go.  But we should move it to the movie thread.

@bradstevens if you say OUATIH is better than Jackie Brown then we’re taking the gloves off too.

@zekeus will concur. If you think confederacy is funny I highly recommend David sedaris.  Holidays on ice is fantastic as is me talk pretty one day.

I know I've mentioned this book before, but if you want a totally awesome story, told by an author at the peak of his talents, read Sometimes a Good Notion by Ken Kesey.  I can't recommend it highly enough.

@zekeus

For posterity's sake, I just want to reiterate that every copy of the Goldfinch should be collected and burned, along with any computer hard drive anywhere that contains a version of it.  

Peace.

@bulk-vh If you prefer a little lighter reading pick up, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.  It’s excellent!

@thehoosierhuddle as long as we have two forums, might move this one, too

@eppy99 Yup I loved it. I’m not sure I’d call it light though.
