To quote those masters of wisdom Booker T & the MGs, time is tight, so I'm only listing the books I read last month. Hopefully I'll have time to go back and talk about them later. So here we go....
Thirteen Reasons Why (YA 2007) - Jay Asher
The Shack (2008) - William P. Young
Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling (NF 2008) - Andy Crouch
Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko (NF 2008) - Blake Bell
Share Your Master’s Happiness (NF 2005) - Glenn Parkinson
In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto (NF 2008) - Michael Pollan
The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals (NF 2008) - Jane Mayer
Living Dead Girl (YA 2008) - Elizabeth Scott
The Knife of Never Letting Go (YA 2008) - Patrick Ness
Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) - Kurt Vonnegut
Hmmm.... A little heavy on the non-fiction and YA this time. We'll see what December holds. In the meantime, go read something.

Hey, I just read and reviewed/analyzed Slaughter House Five: blog post
What'd you think?
Great post, Eric! This was a fascinating book. I saw the movie many years ago and finally decided to read (or in this case, listen to) the book.
I'd wondered about Billy's moving back and forth in time as a way to deal with the horrors of war, which makes sense. There's so many things to think about in this novel. Good job! I think my favorite scene is when Billy goes to the adult bookstore and finds the Kilgore Trout novels, only to make a interesting discovery.
