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.
