I came for the book reviews after seeing your Palahniuk video, stayed because you also have great tastes!! Very awesome, thank you for sharing

Venomous Lumpsucker was good! I was afraid I wasn’t intelligent enough for the content but I followed along fine. The author is clearly very smart and knowledgeable.

Nice picks and fun video.
A friend gave me a copy of The Road with a high recommendation.
Meh. The only character I liked in The Road was the shopping cart.
I Love reading (and watching) No Country for Old Men, have you seen or heard that one?

So many books you've read... Every year I'm starting 52 books challenge, I stuck at ...13 maybe this year? When in mood for paper I'm reading short novels/stories by Alice Munro (Nobel 2013, Canada), I've got 5 of her books, need more, she is my comfort zone.
