An attempt to keep track of some of what goes into my head.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Junot Díaz

Very good. A quirky mix of the Dominican Republic and the New York Metro Area. Odd juxtapositions of latino slang and SciFi and Fantasy references. Solid, sympathetic characters. Fatalistic without being hopeless.
