Oh man I'm not even starting this till next month, I'm still in movie mode at the moment, and most of you guys read much faster than I do but I'm gonna try it out anyways. Got any reccomendations? I'm like 100 pages into Crimes and Punishment and that's about all I've read this whole year.

8. The Enchanter by Vladimir Nabokov -- 4/5 -- 144 pages I can't help but picture wigwam in 20 years when I read this book.
9. Exercises in Style by Raymond Queneau -- 4/5 -- 197 pages 99 ways to tell the same story. It was pretty great for the first few stories, but as the book went along I start to lose interest in it.
10. The Robber by Robert Walser -- 5/5 -- 154 pages Amazing, even better than his Jakob book.
