Just finished The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. Great book - funny and depressing at the same time.
funnily enough i saw a review of this at the week-end in some paper or other. Somebody was recommending it and had put it in their book of the year list.
ANOTHER one on the "to read list"
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
