It only took me 5 months to get to it (and through it) after Ed recommended that I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. (I had a couple books higher in the queue, and I read terribly slowly these days.)
It’s really a great book and really a great relief to me that, all-joking aside, I definitely have very little in common with the Autistic. 
Seriously, though, read the book. More diligent readers than myself can easily plow through it in a day or so.
hey! i gave that book to eddie! i’m the young adult fiction freak.
you should also pick up feed by m.t. anderson.
Interesting. I haven’t even heard of Feed.
Sounds like a good one.
Yeah, Ed gave me Feed when he crashed my Vegas vacation. It’s pretty pissah.
nice. i loved what feed did with language. reminded me a bit of a more comprehensible clockwork orange. or a bit of orwellian newspeak in that the kids just didn’t have the language to express certain concepts anymore.
we need a young adult fic book club or something. i just read another one i plan on handing off to eddie. america, by e. frank.
oh, yeah. hi, jake! i’m casey.
Oh please, Casey, we’ve had plenty of comment convos on the Corcorans’ site. You’re practically family!
I read so slowly these days that I’m a poor, poor companion for any kind of book club. My last read what Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I’m generally a huge fan of Chuck but this one ranks as my least favorite. It has the “Guts” short story in it, though.
Right now, I’m taking time off “easy” reads to put another dent in the Grossman translation of Don Quixote (luckily I’ve developed a skill for picking up where I left off in a book, even if it was several months ago…)
Next, I think I’ll do John Irving’s Until I Find You and then maybe Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but who knows, really?
laugh. i just felt bad for suddenly invading your blog out of the blue, is all.
i have never liked palahniuk. i spent the entirety of the fight club movie sputtering indignantly. i guess i have trouble with hyper-masculinist type stuff, to say the least.
i have been terrible at reading lately. i read almost solely while waiting for buses on the way home from work.
it may be kind of sad that i have a spanish degree and i have never read the entirety of don quixote. when i was in spain, i went to several places mentioned in the story, too. i just can’t get into literature from that era.
The “hyper-masculinity” thing can be especially grating/ironic/confusing considering he’s gay, but maybe that’s just me stereotyping.
