Dare to Dream discussion

I have recently been on a Dan Chaon Kick. His books are very dreamlike and thought-provoking. Stay Awake was just published in February 2012 and here it is being March 2012 and I've already read it twice. Another favorite is Await Your Reply which I am currently reading for the third time :-)

Yes, I think you should. I have been thinking of creating a Dan Chaon Group. I had thought of combining Dan Chaon into this group and calling it Dan Chaon Dare to Dream , I really did, but I think Dan warrants his own group and that'll be the next group I plan to create :-)

I just recently read this book, and really liked it!

Excellent :-)

just added stay awake to my ever growing to read list-thanks for the recommendation.

You're welcome. Hope you like it as much as I did :-)

“He had built his own future brick by brick around himself but there were no doors or windows, at least that was the way it seemed at the time he had thought to himself, I am locked in, it was like one of those ghost stories where you wake up and you are sealed in a coffin.”
-Dan Chaon, Stay Awake

I have a couple of his books on my TBR so I should probably read one. I have a challenge this month to only read out of NY TBR so maybe this will be the time.

Great. Await Your Reply and Stay Awake are my two favorites :-) Await Your Reply is a novel and Stay Awake is short stories.

He wrote You Remind Me Of Ne didn't he? I think that one and Await Your Reply is on my shelf.

Yes. Await Your Reply is better in my opinion.

OK I will start with that one.
