Fast Food Nation is one of my favorite books. I will have to check out the Reefer one as well! Had such a busy summer, I only read one book - Butler's Lillith's Brood trilogy. I normally read one book every week to two. I still haven't read Freakonomics which all my friends have recommended as well. I did BUY Collapse, but still haven't read it yet either. I feel my brain turning to slush lol.
Susanne,
What did you think of the Xenogenesis trilogy?
I really enjoyed it overall. I liked some of her more novel concepts. I think the part I loved the best was the theme of how humans are genetically predisposed to be hierarchical. There were a couple times when I felt the book dragged too deeply/longly into the mating aspects, but all in all, a very enjoyable read.
