I really enjoyed this one.

Did you read Moonglow?


It’s sitting on my nightstand, next in line.

I adore Moonglow. It may not be better necessarily, but gun to my head I’d take it over Kavalier and Clay.

Haha I haven’t read a book since the last time Mrs. Bam and I took a vacation. That was back in June. I haven’t read a book since June.

I need to give Moonglow another shot. I think the last time I picked it up I was in a blah headspace to begin with. I love Wonder Boys so much. Maybe now is the time to give Moonglow another try.

I haven’t. Other than Moonglow, what else would you recommend?

I’ve read the below. The only one I didn’t like was The Mysteries of Pittsburgh:

The Amazing of Kavalier and Clay (considered his masterpiece)
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union
Moonglow
Wonder Boys
Gentlemen of the Road
Telegraph Avenue
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
The Final Solution (my second least favorite)

Never read any of his collections or nonfiction though

I didn’t realize I’ve read all his novels. I held off a long time on Telegraph Avenue though.

I didn't love Telegraph Avenue. It's not bad just not for me. Which is weird because subject matter wise it seems right up my alley. But it didn't totally work for me.

I think the subject matter is probably more up your alley than mine, but yeah either way it's not bad just didn't grab me. Especially compared to most of his others.
