I Havent read it either but have read many different parts of it in different books on Hitler. I think I got the gist of it. But of course it is historically relevant even if the ideas it contains belong in the garbage dump. (From what I read it is clear H was no great writer....)

I didn't "like" the ending, but I thought it was believable for those characters.
He wasn't stellar at painting either.....
Last night I started Deadline by John Dunning. It's his 1st novel and the last one of his that I have left to read. 
I wish him good health so that he may be able to write another mystery featuring Cliff Janeway. Well, that kinda selfish so I wish him good health. Period.

I have the movie Horns recorded but have STILL not gotten around to getting a copy of Horns. I want to read the book first before I watch the movie.
I didnt know there was a movie lol
Hey, Neesy!
Yeah, read the book first. I think you'll like the movie, too.
Have a great weekend.
Googling this right now.

You too - the only thing I have on standby is Finders Keepers - I need to crack that one open!
It's for hardcore Kerouac fans. People that hated On The Road would absolutely LOATH this one. I think its some of the greatest Spontaneous Prose ever typed.
Heh heh. 'Typed'.
Just finished Three Twisted Stories by Karin Slaughter. This author has a wicked awesome imagination. The first story, Go Deep was very good IMO and I feared it would be down hill. Nope. Necessary Women was good, if slightly upsetting. Remmy Rothstein Toes the Line was a hoot (my shudders were a good thing.)
I liked On the Road but it took me a long time to read it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Watch the movie. Seriously. The book is good, but the narrative format is a little confusing. The movie does a good job at streamlining that while not changing the story very much. My daughter said she understood some things in the book better after having seen the movie (it took me two goes to get through the book, as well.) I liked Horns quite a bit, once I got through it, but it feels experimental with the way the story is laid out and not altogether successful.
