>>3317800 >Escape from Camp 14 oh, I downloaded that in a torrent of NYT bestsellers, and thought I might give it a shot. Was it any good? Did you like it?

>>3317824 It was pretty good actually, but then I have a hardon for anything North Korea. I read it in one 6-hour sitting, if that says anything.

>>3317844 Have you read Orphan Master's Son? It takes place in North Korea, horribly depressing, but a good read. North Korea might be the worst place on earth.

Last book read: Frankenstein (sort of read Candide too, but that was a reread except in the original French instead of translation) Currently reading: The Sagas of Icelanders. Just finished Egil's Saga and it's really engrossing stuff. The family trees and relationships are very challenging though, more than anything else I've read so far. Reading next: Probably Northanger Abbey (Austen) because I have to. It could change though.

>>3321515 >How was Vineland? It gets extremely mixed reviews. So if it gets mixed reviews, why do you care about this guy's opinion? Is an anonymous post on 4chan somehow more credible to you than the amalgam of other reviews which come to no general consensus?
