"It is supposedly hysterical and poignant and fierce and also once I read it my mom will stop bugging me to read it. It's next on my list :)" - I finished it. And it was. All of the above. A really important book.

Entertaining, and I'd definitely enjoy hanging out with Tina, but not a grand slam of a book somehow. Sacrilege, I know. - My sentiments, exactly.

The Odyssey, by Homer. The book that launched a thousand trips. Cover design by Mahshed Hooshmand! I need to read this again, now that I have a better understanding of it and I've seen O, Brother Where Art Thou? a bajillion times.

Toni Morrison is unbelievable. Beloved is perhaps her most fantastical, surreal book...so moving, disturbing, and poetic.

I'm about 80 pages into In One Person and it's already so good -- definitely true to John Irving, but it also manages to feel fresh and different.

True to John Irving form, the first frew hundred pages of this one are kinda slow, but still good...then the last few hundred pages are AMAZING. I started reading it when I first moved to LA - having no idea what an incredible LA story it is.

A Prayer for Owen Meany is also a great John Irving book...it's great to hear him read it and do Owen's voice. This was turned into a TERRIBLY SAD and traumatizing movie called Simon Birch that I did NOT like as a kid. But the book, I love.

I happen to love "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. Ugh Miss Havisham is so juicily wicked!! I may also enjoy the Ethan Hawke/Gwyneth Paltrow/Robert DeNiro adaptation a little too much. It's pretty silly, but it's so 90's (that means I automatically love it).

"The Pit and the Pendulum." "The Fall of the House of Usher." "Annabel Lee." All of them. I believe Poe is responsible for my love of all things horror - I have a distinct memory of my mom (an English teacher) reading "The Raven" to me as I fell asleep when I was little.

I loved "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn. It's an epistolary book about a small island where the residents must stop using letters of the alphabet as they start to fall off this statue in the town center.

Okay, so "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is a really important and great book, but also there was a really hilarious running gag about it in the last episode of "Archer."
