Reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
by Michael Chabon. I am 200 pages into it, and my opinion so far?

:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:

Amazing. Anyone else like this?

How about Chobon's others?

I read The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and liked it. Wonder Boys is next...

11. I loved the book.
Absolutely loved it. He is such a fantastic writer. I am about half-way into Yiddish Policeman's Union (the new one) and it is just as good if not better. I won't pass judgement until I'm done.
