I just had this conversation with my daughter. I am reckoning with the idea that I really do need to purge some of the read and unread books from my shelves. My daughter helpfully left an index card with "questions I should ask" as I go through my bookshelves! But when I think about letting go of books, I almost want to cry.
Stephen King is a genius!
Gone Girl is on the nightstand. Pretty sure I will read it in July. I hope you plan on doing a gigantic post-wedding post! Congratulations, and don't worry, you will forget your entire wedding--haha! Not sure if that is really true, but that's what everyone says.
The dialogue about the couples is maybe even better than the concept itself. Which is pretty awesome. BTW How do you sound so relatively sane? Did you say you are getting married in less than a month! Eeeeek! and Mazel Tov!
I still hate rating systems! But yours is the coolest one yet. I'm glad to hear that most of your ratings are 4-stars though, because that's how my Goodreads ratings usually end up. Sometimes I give a book 3-stars when I liked it. But I worry that all my 4-star ratings make me look easy. arrrgh.
I read this way back when I was a teenager, and can still remember details of the book. I read The Stepford Wives about the same time. I think Levin was totally on to something about creepy chauvinist neighbors.
Given your love for the Dakota, you have to read Time and Again by Jack Finney. It's just been reissued. Time travel and the Dakota... just saying....
The Hours was a DNF for me ( a long time ago). For some reason I always felt vaguely bad about that. But I really love Mrs. Dalloway, and The Hours just didn't interest me much.
