Six nominees. Start voting! There's only a few days...
I read plenty of Hemingway as he is my favourite American author but I don't read enough Hemingway short stories. So I'm tempted to pick that.
Chose the DFW option, but only because I have read the Hemingway choice already. It is great, so I would be willing to read it again.
Holy crap... are we actually gonna read DFW?
Has anyone read 'Infinite Jest' ?Quote:

Why's that?Quote:

But it is a fantastic book, one of my 25 favorite novels, I only wish I had found it in highschool rather than after college.
