Kafka

Kafka on the Shore is fascinating, but may be a bit long and slow for summer. Blankets is quick and fun.
I haven't had a chance to read Candy Freak yet, but will keep everyone posted.
King Dork sounds good to me.
I read Catcher when I was nineteen and didn't like it very much. Read it again last year and appreciated it more, but still wasn't crazy about it. It reminded me of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but Perks is one of my favorite books. I realize that Catcher is an "important" book and I am willing to read it again.

Hey you guys!!

Let's get this party started (again) :)

So... Overachieving Annie has already read Blankets and Kafka on the Shore. Annie - what do you think? Should the rest of us read those? Would they provide good discussion fodder? Annie, I think you are also reading Candyfreak? Should we read that? Or Mickey showed me a new book by the author of Candyfreak I like the title - it's Which Brings Me to You. He is really enjoying it.

We also talked about Catcher in the Rye, which is such a short and easy read. So... everyone around the world, what's your pleasure?

When I'm home in July, could we sit down and have a face-to-face meeting and plot our reading schedule for the rest of the year? And then I could order two copies of each of the books (one for MN and one for KS)?
