Ham’s comments from the Adjudication group.

My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard lives up to the hype....it's fantastic actually. I've only read volume 1 but I got the next couple on order. check it out. I think the 4th comes out in April or something.

New Martin Amis is great check it out. With Lionel asbo and now zone of interest, he's kind of on a roll again. Check it out.

If you're just starting out, the classic one is Luck Jim, so maybe start there. It's pretty funny. But from there, I loved One Fat Englishman, the Green Man, and the Old Devils. Is tgere one called Jake's Thing? I think it was a good one too.

By Dave eggers. Hilarious. Definitely worth the sticker price. Makes me want to hate everything with you all online.

I'll look into Galveston too I kinda like that True Detective I just saw it for the first time.

Thanks those both sound great I'll look into them.

Almost finished with The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
It's a bear, but I'd recommend highly to NYC residents and non-residents alike. But you'll probably only be able to slog through it if you're either a resident, or have a particular interest in the city. Robert Caro seems like a very interesting guy...Rob Moses definitely was. I'm looking for something nice and light...fiction. And short-ish. Also, for some reason, I want to read something new-ish. Anyone got a hot suggestion?

Just finished Razor's Edge. Took me 150 pages to get into it, but I ended up liking it fine. I can't say that I ever found it funny…I thought I'd heard it was supposed to be funny. Not that it mattered, just surprised. Anyhow, definitely worth the read. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendations, welcome to the gang. I will get more active on this group in the new year. The only one I've read of those is the Raymond Carver so I'll check them out.
Ok talk to you later

Wow I really liked that Morrissey autobiography a lot more than I thought I would. I'd recommend it.

Mike you should check out Lorine Niedecker I think you'd dig it.

Hello everyone and welcome to the club. I hope people will offer some recommendations here, and we can maybe discuss. Ok see you round.

Have you ever read anything by him? According to my mother in law, he is regarded as a "second-rate writer", but she really likes him, and is recommending to me. I think I'm going to look into it and get back to you.

The Razor's Edge

The Bluest Eye

This is my first attempt at a discussion topic.

This Toni Morrison book really knocked me out. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Verdict: MUST READ

Greetings guys thanks for joining! It took me ten solid minutes to figure out how to post on this, but I think I figured it out. Anyhow, I'm going to invite some more folks, and then I'm going to try and figure out what you do in a book club. So it may take a little while to get the ball rolling, but once the train rolls out of the station, who's gonna stop it. Ok later.
