I'm on book 2 of 6

The cover reeaaaly doesn't do it any justice...

Myths America Lives By

just ended up CELL by S. King, and THE INFORMERS by B. E. Ellis. I also re-read DAGON by H.P. Lovecraft for like, the 345435 time.

On The Road

Just finished "Run with the Hunted", a Bukowski compilation of poems and short stories arranged in a semi-autobiographical sort of way.
Now, believe it or not, I'm reading the New Testament. Matthew, to be more precise.

This one is great GREAT great !

I've just finished Norway No Mori, by Haruki Murakami.
His women characters actually seem to act and think the way women I know do. This is something I find rather rare in a man's work.

Another one who showed a woman that could be met in real life was M. Agueev. There's a great bit in his book about his cocaine addiction. A letter the narrator receives from the woman he's having an affair with.

Both books ain't as good as Middlesex though (personal tastes, of course).

The best book I've read recently is Ada, or Ardor by Nabokov. I read it over the summer and it shot into my top 5.

Has anyone read any Gaddis? I want to read one of his this summer. The Recognitions probably. Or JR. I also want to pick up the new edition of The Aeneid soon.

I also need to get around to reading Don Quixote. What's a good translation? I hate reading translations.

Anthony Burgess's 'Earthly Powers'.

In my top ten of best books ever.

I'm reading Walter Mosley's new one, Fear Of The Dark.

just bought

Douglas Coupland - Shampoo Planet
Douglas Coupland - All Families Are Psychotic
Douglas Coupland - Life After God

Still wading through Against The Day, the new Pynchon book. It's really good but boy is it long (over 1000 pages). I'm about 2/3rds of the way through. I did put it down for a bit to read Our Band Is Your Life but I've finished that now.

Im reading The Old Man and the Wolves by Julia Kristeva.

its basically a heavily psychological, allegorical work written under the guise of a mystery/detective novel.

its decent, but its a little to deep for me right now, im yearning for a good trashy novel.

i'm reading this at the moment. it's a pretty tough read, but it's really interesting.

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.

I have to say that it's an amazing book,a tour de force and fantastically written.

Oh gosh, did you just say 'tour de force' porky?

1984 george orwell

Critique of Judgement, again. Also, Lolita by Nabakov.

that's a really really good book.

I've been reading this book for the last 15 years....I can never seem to finish it:
