What Should I Read Next?
Hey y'all,
So, between schoolwork and the general everyday chaos, I haven't been reading as quickly as I usually do, and the books on my shelf have piled up. I've got so many choices, and I'm not sure which book to read next, so I thought it might be fun to start up a little poll on AW. Anyways, the selections are as follows: Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper More Notes From A Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski A Man In Full by Tom Wolfe A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley

Everything is Illuminated is really good but This is Where I Leave You is one of my favorite novels. I'd try to do them both some time.

I've moved onto A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley, but after that I'll try Everything Is Illuminated at your suggestion
