Oh, Show. You and your lovely parallels.

"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed."
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Catch22girl’s post about the woman living in her car got me thinking, and I finally picked up the copy of Deer Hunting With Jesus: Dispatches From America’s Class War that my sister sent Mr. Tiger for Christmas. It’s by Joe Bageant, a self-described red neck from Winchester, Virginia. It’s a fascinating read.

I finished the book last night, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was like 24 methadone; not as powerful as the real thing, but enough to take the edge off until I can get to my meeting.

I figured out that it's set between Nightfall and Day 1, which didn't quite work, because I think Jack was too emotionally healthy for that time period. He does have an interior life, which is an improvement, and he gives a couple of pep talks that are so cute.

Someone else read it so we can discuss!
