Please Kill Me is such a fun, fascinating, and quick read. So many juicy and insane stories! I should also add that I enjoyed and would recommend all of the books that I recently finished.

We'll have to have a post-reading discussion. Tender is Night and On Chesil Beach are both great options. I knew you'd try to push more Fitzgerald on me. Laura, oh yeah, I forgot about The Believers. I remember reading an article on it in the NY Times and it piqued my interest. Infinite Jest has been on my must-read list for years. It's just so large and intimidating. The novel is based structurally on a sierpinski gasket (as I learned from a podcast interview between DFW and Bookworm's Michael Silverblatt - I miss KCRW), which further intrigues me.

I picked up The Remains of the Day and On Chesil Beach at the library today. I'll say that you should read Tender is the Night because I suggested it on our finer things blog.
