I need the other two badly.

Yay for geriatric necrophilia!

I hate my college.
Hey, Faulkner is amazing, and that story is no different.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

The Stand, by Stephen King

One of the most epic book's I've ever read... I had always hoped this would be amazing, and it was. Bonus points for exploiting my Swine Flu Government Conspiracy fears, Mr. King!
I'm all pretensions... I never pay attention

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I just finished it. For the third time. Definitely still one of my favorite books, and I wouldn't hesitate to read it again.

Great book. :)

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams. Not very far in yet, but I'm enjoying it thus far.

One of the funniest things I've read in a while.
