everyone goes on about how great that book is, Motherless Brooklyn. I thought it was very mediocre. I seem to be the only one, though.
Go to www.bigcitywalks.com and click on resources
I read Catcher in the Rye as a compulsory text in High School about 30 years ago and hated it and I started Bonfire of the Vanities about 10 years ago and couldn't get into it. I think I might go back and try them again.

it took me awhile to get into bonfire of the vanities, but in the end, I liked it.
I will definitely try again. Once I get over to NY I will have more time and may be able to concentrate better. My life in Sydney is too hectic. It sounds crazy that I'm moving to New York to have a more relaxed lifestyle doesn't it?
