I've read a few different Heller novels. Picture this was neat, but otherwise nothing special. Good as Gold was competent, but again, nothing stands out. Catch-22 is incredibly overrated, but Something Happened is genuinely great. Have you read it? I'm only asking because a lot of people ignore it because of how they either were disappointed by Catch-22 or hate that it is nothing like Catch-22.

Norm's "memoir" is such a huge leap in quality from other books by stand-up comedians I have read. Norm has an actual narrative that carries between his bits, the framing story with the ghost writer, and how it has touching moments at times.

After I finished The Remains of the Day, I had to sit down for a while and just stew in the way it made me feel. Great book.

Malazan blows, unironically read Conan instead

I hate this book, the short choppy sentences get extremely tiring as the novel goes on. Metaphors and themes aside, it felt like a chore to read. Dune Messiah is a cool pick though, I don't think Dune(The standalone novel) is a good story unless you include Messiah.
