Once in a great while, I re-visit childhood and read Dr. Seuss books. Here I am, an old woman and I still adore Dr. Seuss.

My favorite book story: when it first came out, I became instantly and complete absorbed in Stephen King's IT. So scary. I carried it everywhere, which was a big deal as it weighed about 30 lbs. So I'm on the 7 train in NYC and when it stops at ...

My favorite Philip Roth book was The Plot Against America...a vision of a fascist America that I'm afraid is fast becoming a reality. Anyone else?

Anyone have a favorite antidote book? Something that bucks you up when you're feeling nasty? I love the novels of PG Wodehouse, Tom Sharpe and the essays of Dave Barry. Anyone else have suggestions?

Right now I am reading Les Miserables, the Julie Rose translation. I have read the book years ago, and seen the musical, and the movie, but I guess I just wanted to revisit the book. I am loving it so far.

Anyone here like Joseph Heller? You may be familiar with Catch-22, but have you read his other books, especially Something Happened? If anyone has read it, let me know. I would like to discuss it.
