What's the greatest read ever?
Yesterday a student suggested a book to me. “You’ll love this,” she said. “It’s the greatest read ever.” I wrote the title/author on my hand. I woke up this morning and was about to get in the shower, but then I saw the ink. I typed title/author into my journal (kept on the laptop), and then took my shower. Now, I just realized that I was a jackass and didn’t save anything I’d written this morning. I keep staring at the faint smudges on my hand, trying to figure out what the greatest read ever is, but it's futile. The soap has done it's job.
Any ideas?

It was a new (er) book. As in, it was contemporary for sure (I'm thinking a short story colelction? Why am I thinking that?), but maybe older contemporary?
I'll check out the Kennedy, thanks for the erc?
I've read the Steam Shovel on, too! And, although I appreciate the rec, I think I'll stear clear of Flowers in the Attic. Got some other stuff to read first!

Any Chuck Palahnuik is the greatest read ever. Period.
