I have all his books, Douglas Coupland and Daniel Clowes are my favourite authors.

Heavy stuff. It's talking about Germany in 1900's and how even then the place was incredibly anti-semitic. The only problem with it is becasue of the style of writing I start falling asleep after about 20 pages!

Pulp by Bukowski.

on the subject of literary boredom, i tried reading this:




i tried and tried. but about halfway it becomes repetitive, boring, and predictable, and it was impossible for me to progress.

the most exciting feature of the book for me, at this point, is that the cover glows in the dark.

I loved Hey Nostradamus.

I read Girlfriend In A Coma too, but didn't like it as much.

I'm reading Naked Lunch right now (finally).

I am reading KAFKA ON THE SHORE by Haruki Murakami

I loves me Murakami. Been reading him since 93 or so

The last book I started reading was 'The Wind up Bird Chronicles'. I say started cause I gave the bugger up. Pissed me off too much.

The Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin.

Bend Sinister by Nabokov

Just finished that.
I enjoyed the progression of the stories, though only a few stood out.
It's the only Joyce I've read.

thank you for posting this. i almost bought it the other day, but bought the new nick hornby book instead which was mediocre (and took all of about 4 hours to read). i had intended to read haunted next, but i think i'll cross that off the list.

Crime and Punishment. I wish I could like it as much as I did The Brothers Karamazov, but all I can think about as I'm reading it is how my professor will make me look like a dumbass when we discuss it.

I'm yet to read Brothers Karamazov. I took it away with me a few weeks ago, but was too transfixed in Bukowski's Selected Letters. Both Crime and Punishment and BK have sat on my shelves for quite some time now.

I'm trying so hard to like it but I just can't focus on it. Maybe I'll read it again over summer or something.

Beautiful... I read me some Dostoevsky too... The Gambler.

i just finished reading this thing (finally got around to it)


it was funny, sloppy, lacking great prose but entertaining enough to keep me going until the end, though there was a bit i had to skim through or i wouldn't continue-- like most books really.

in any case-- not bad! philosophical pulp, but it got me thinking.

I finally am getting to this book.

This again and it's still ever so, so good. I've not seen the film yet, but I will be at somepoint next week.

Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

I'm not reading anything because I have no time and it makes me want to cry.

I have a book i started over a year ago and its in a drawer somewhere. I want to read perfume too. and some anais nin.

Things I just read:





Things I am reading, or need to read, or will read:

(Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm)

Fuck, I have to get started.

Great book.....reads like fiction at times.

Lately poems by John Keats circa 1818.

I have ALL of his books, he is my favourite.

i started reading Saturday, but i didnt like how it was written so i stopped that

Yeah, it's great. Truely an amazing man and artist.
I'll read it again soon.

I wonder if he'll follow it up with a volume two?

the same fucking book i started a year ago.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read that there will be a second volume.

^Good one!! I have that same edition!!

Recently finished In Cold Blood and a selection of Kafka stories.

Nothing right now but ordered Coming to Life: How Genes Drive Development.

Brilliant book, but alas, I don't have the same edition.
