chicago-based writer. tweets here. you should also probably read erica's blog.
Mine was Fargo Rock City, which I flung across a hotel room in Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Resort in 2001.
I’m in the middle of Fargo Rock City and I have several times come close to doing this. I can’t remember the last time I started reading a book with such high expectations… and ended up being annoyed SO MUCH.

I actually liked that book — when I read it freshman year of college. My first was Treason.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. After I’d seen the movie countless times and nothing in the movie matched the bokk. A bad time for films

I don’t know that I’ve ever thrown a book across the room, but if I read it for the first time today, it’d probably be Catcher in the Rye.

Does it count if I stomped on it with stilettos? In that case, Machiavelli. (For a class, obviously.)
