We seem to have similar histories, and remarkable differences in the Kundera/Rand department. haha.

DIIIE, AYN RAND

Also George Eliot is just torture.

How is it that you managed to skip On the Road? Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the most fantasticalexpealidocious book ever written, I'm just curious.

Guns, Germs, and Steal sounds like something that would pull me deeper into the agoraphobia.

I just haven't read OTR yet. I will.

GG & S isn't a book about scary things, more a book about how different cultures turned out and why. Fascinating stuff.

Right there with you with Ayn Rand, only I read Fountainhead and not Atlas Shrugged. You might like the abridged version.

I read the Satanic Verses years ago, and liked it, but not as much as Midnight's Children. Apparently Rushdie's writing irritates a lot of people, though, and not just in the blasphemic sense.

Atlas Shrugged, One Hour Later

What's the matter with Freakonomics? I eye it in bookstores each time, and pass, but always mean to get to it some day. Is it really god-awful?

It was just fluff to me, fluff written to make the reader feel smart. I didn't get a thing out of it.
