Are Parents People? by Alice Duer Miller

I happened upon this book quite by accident. The author writes beautifully, and it's quite an interesting book.

Edit two weeks later - after several chapters in, I just couldn't read it anymore. Just kept on and on with the spy-type talk building a back story that it drove me to utter boredom.

More of a page turner than the last one.

Trying out The Left Hand of Darkness.

I'd say 1984...but they know how all consuming and power hungry they already are.

For my own pleasure: Hell House (Richard Matheson)
For a book club: The Cabin at the End of the World (Paul Tremblay)

I didn't know there was a sequel to Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, which I really enjoyed (not the movie though) but I've just started reading Closing Time.

So, i tried to persevere, but after a 1/3 of the way in I just didn't want to read any more. It wasn't anywhere near as pleasurable to read as Catch 22. I wonder what sort of frame of mind Heller was in, like, did he think he was writing humour, drama, thrills, I have no idea, but it was so boring and a chore to read.
