MUST..BRING..THREAD..BACK..TO..LIFE...

So I ended up getting two books from this whole thing.

One was called Miss Misery by Andy Greenwald which was a really entertaining work of fiction about the indie/emo + blogging culture centred in New York. It was wildly amusing to me in a few parts and I really enjoyed it.

The second book was one of the recommendations here Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. Frankly...I wasn't overly impressed. It hit the nail right on the head in terms of being a perfect satire of American idolization of celebrities being made up to seem like more than they are, but it just wasn't something I was thrilled with reading.

I'd certainly recommend both books, but Survivor just wasn't quite my cup of tea. Looks like my next task is Timothy Findley's Famous Last Words. My all-time favourite book is The Wars so I'm looking forward to one hell of a read.

Thanks everyone!
