Perhaps you should read it and see what the fuss is about 
It's a good read, and you can have fun trying to deconstruct every argument he gives you.

I have the professor who wrote the book for History of Christianity, so I have to read that. It's interesting so far (Chapter 1 and 2)

A very good read, definitely one of his better books. I was glad to see Milgrim again.

Earlier in the thread someone was crying that this thread is useless because people were posting stuff that is typically read in schools in the US and that there are just pictures in this thread. Well like others said not everyone reads the same books in school. Also there are people from different countires here. As for myself I read less that 10 books in my entire high school and previous education. I could not sit down and read at that age. I always wanted to be outside playing sports etc. so i used cliff notes lol. However, now im quite into reading and doing a bit of catching up. I love this thread. Helps me remember the classics and gives some good ideas 
Since I'm "car free" by choice myself I found this book really hit home for me.
Finishing the last few pages of this short novel. I learned alot of new vocab from this one haha. The story is very interesting and unique.

The fun fact is that the German translation of 1Q84 will be out in October. Sadly I prefer English translations of Murakami so I will have to read it twice

I've been reading Stephen King alot lately and i like the Black Tower series very very much (only missing the last book [got to find it from libary sometime when it's free]). However i noticed there's also other books related to Black Tower and if someone knows these books i would be really glad!
P.S I'm reading Hearts in Atlantis - atleast I guess so since I'm reading it on my native language and we are stupid enough to also translate the titles of movies, books, etc. In finnish it's "Beast's Heart"

I found Room very interesting. It's about a 5-year old boy and his ma imprisoned in an 11 by 11 foot space by someone the boy refers to as "Old Nick". Sorta similar to that case in Austria where a father imprisoned his daughter in a basement for 24 years and had 2 kids by her.

I really have no idea what's going on, but Diderot seems to be speaking to me directly through this book. Since it makes me feel special, I enjoy it.

Finally, almost done this book (just about 50 more pages to go). It was good until it got really repetitive; the same problems, the same complaints, and the same hardships repeated over and over.
I'm actually really looking forward to start reading this one:
