I can never get into those joke books like Abraham Lincoln or Pride Prejudice and Zombies. The novelty wears off for me after a chapter and then I just notice terrible writing.
I'll admit i could never get into Pride Prejudice and Zombies but Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was a pretty fun book in my opinion.

Check out Blood Meridian by McCarthy. WAY more brutal, and probably a bit better.

"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer is my favorite book of all time, with "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey as a close second.

Just finished "The Sheltering Sky" by Paul Bowles and I'm about to start "Of Human Bondage" by W. Somerset Maugham.

BLAH Somerset Maugham!!! Had to read a book by him in an English class. It was funny because the teacher commented how many people thought the sex scene in the book was very awkward. The sex scene was between a man and a woman but Maugham was gay so it was kinda obvious he was iffy on the details of how a straight sex scene goes down.
