Something Happened, by Joseph Heller. I never really read anything much other than Catch 22 and decided, recently, to try some Heller. I got about 150 pages into it before realizing that there were other things I'd rather read......
Keith Richards autobiography is another book I recently started......I will get back to this one but I know not when.
The two books I will read to completion without interruption - or at least that is what I am thinking at this time.....this too can change - are: Dave Eggers A Hologram for the King, which was one of Michael Lewis' bookstand books and Michael Lewis' The Flash Boys. What particularly interested me about the Eggers book was that Lewis recommended it in an FT interview....what also interested me, as a writer of non-fiction, was that Lewis seemed to have only fiction on his night stand........I feel that way as well - I am a better writer of non-fiction because of the fiction I read. I am told that I should stop reading fiction if I want to write it. This is my problem - I like reading fiction too damned much!!!
