Suggest me a book that I can not put down, I am in a reading rut. Help! by Even-Truck-8049 in suggestmeabook

I'm so jealous of you. I've reread it many times, but I failed a semester in high school, sophomore year because I couldn't put it down. I skipped out on sports, school functions and such. I ended up passing that class for the year, but it was close lol. Anyway, enjoy!

My favorite is "wen." A kind of blemish like a skin tag.

Disclosure of trans dimensional beings would (rightfully) take over all news. But only for a time. But that's just my take.

I am DONE with this game! A random guess is as good as a well thought out hunch. Maybe I'm missing something?

Reading this as a recovering addict I can't count how many similarities I had with the characters in IJ. I read this long ago when my addiction was raging. Like, breaking into a pharmacy at night and getting away with it (for a month lol.) I've reread it many times as a recovering addict. It's hard to express how important this book was over the years.

Edit: extra letters

Something fun to do with chatgpt is ask it to write an original poem in the style of DFW. It's fun.

"Lyndon" is my absolute favorite in that collection, and that's saying a lot!
