Just finished Heinlein's Red Planet. Does anyone remember the animated series based on it that played on Fox in like 1994? The whole time I was reading the book I kept having flashbacks to the cartoon.

I just started reading The Watchmen.

While i do sometimes find Simon Reynolds a bit irritating in his articles, I did think that was a great book.

GUARDS! GUARDS! no i'm ok that's what i was reading. Now what do i read? Island of the blue dolphins? Someone's gotta put these animals back to their right colour. I dunno that kinda seems like a waste of time. Maybe I will read about Africa. Or India.

Currently reading:
The Two Towers
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams

Purchased yesterday and today for reading in future (I'm DONE with books for a while):

Borrowing from a friend. Haven't started yet.

good book rhys

My girlfriend and I were cleaning out her closet and found this book from her childhood. In the front her dad wrote a note: "You're the biggest poop I know."

Anthony Bourdain is the man.






A light and enjoyable read.....not that juicy though.





Wow, I thought this was really "over rated." It started off pretty good and then it just got really boring. I was waiting for something awesome to happen and before I knew it, the book ended. Less romance crap and more action would have been nice. I still haven't seen the movie.

Finished Dirk Gently last night. Quality stuff from Adams, as always

Will be starting Hammerhead Ranch Motel by Tim Dorsey and Venus in Furs tonight.

So far, so good.

You missed the point then

I'm about halfway thru one of batreleaser's posts.

repped!

I've started Bram Stoker's Dracula.

a collection of Lovecraft stories

Book is meh.

Today bought:
The Great Gatsby
Triggerfish Twist - Tim Dorsey
Florida Roadkill - Tim Dorsey (I've already read this one but it was a nice used copy and I like to have completely collections)

The Bell Jar again, and next either Post Office or The Stranger again (in preparation for the AP test).

That's at home. At work I'm reading this:

The Singer-Cathi Unsworth

that's odd - I was looking for my entry in this thread saying that I was reading the NY trilogy for the 3rd time...

Just started Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley.

Finished Hammerhead Ranch Motel last night. easily 10/10, perhaps the funniest book I've ever read. Will be starting the next Tim Dorsey book, Orange Crush tonight after I read some more Venus in Furs.

Bought today-
Tropic of Cancer - Henry Miller
Crime - Irvine Welsh

the end of the affair

hasn't grabbed me completely yet, but greene describing what love/lust does, makes me fall into the book

Is this Ween related?

No not at all, this is mighty boosh related.

I just finished reading this book. I think it is a very honest and reflective book and I recommend it to anyone who is into the eels. It is both sad and funny and it has given me a larger appreciation of E's music, which I love anyway, but more having read his memoir.

Kiran Desai - The Heritage of Loss

Just finished Triggerfish Twist in 3 days...now on to Stingray Shuffle

I'm reading the Slaughterhouse Five and attempting to read Only Revolution. Holy fucked up book batman!

I'm just starting the second part (in the shadow of young girls in flower) of proust...seems like appropriate spring reading.

historical-mind-fuck fiction at it's finest

for my english lit class.

StevOK you really shouldn't bother with the Rama sequels, they're rather bad and actually written by Gentry Lee not Clarke.

1006 pages in 9 days.
Going to read all of Ellroys 'L.A. Quartet' now, got another 15 fiction books and countless non-fiction piling up in the book case unread :(
