the new york times travel supplement from last sunday

haa ha aa haaa haaaaa

it's the most vapid sort of reading material

fuck you, deep thinkers

no, it's not that bad...

I'm not reading this book, but I liked the pic.

Dude, look at your nickname!

back on topic:

Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA

It's utterly damning

uh oh.

A nice choice for an end of the year reading assignment. It is pretty lax in class, so it really is like reading it just for fun.

you guys ever go there? place sucks

Currently... re-reading Junky and browsing through some J. Crew catalogs. In all seriousness, the J. Crew photogs do it right, can make anything look cool. I also suspect they cheat via photoshop cuz some of those models are impossibly elongated.

Well, I think they are at least interesting. I have no idea what is going to happen next. I've already read one sequel and am halfway through the second, so I think I'll finish the third just to know what happens.

Also, Pauline Kael's Hooked (compilation of a period of her New Yorker movie reviews), and the 33 1/3 book on VU & Nico.

Finished Black Dahlia (in 4 days), now onto The Big Nowhere.
ithinkimissyou: have a read of Killing Hope by William Blum, every covert and overt action in chronological order and meticulously documented. Every overthrown government, every dirty war, every dictator supported.
And for the skinny on CIA narco-trafficking, The Politics of Heroin by Alfred W. McCoy.
But you need to undersand, the CIA is not some rogue group or whatever as is so commonly perceived - thats the plausible deniability. It takes its orders directly from the Executive and is carrying out administration policy.

Radar was a sadisitc freak. So scary.

I have to do a short thesis for a communications class I'm taking, and so I've decided to study the advertising methods used in the J. Crew catalog. For instance, manipulation of photographs, use of thin models, settings, etc.

I frequently visit Chuck Palahniuk's website to look for new books or just to read the author shorts section.

Really enjoyed Craig Clevenger's Mother-Howl
Can't wait for them to post Subcarrier.

I also suggest reading Chuck's Guts
if you're into misanthropic literature.

Love this site.

guts is an amazing read. thats what made me really like him as a writer. after i finished my current read i am going onto choke.

yet again.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (a re-read)

On deck: Rabbit, Run (also a re-read) and Sputnik Sweetheart (new read)

kurt vonnegut, player piano.

for university:





for personal pleasure:





and occasionally some Foucault

Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange

Kurt Vonnegut - Jailbird.

black widow by randy wayne white

^^^ that guy's the reason why I lock my doors and windows.

I've just reread this for the 5th time..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vurt-Jeff-Noon/dp/0330338811

Brilliant stuff. Fans of William Gibson etc will dig it and I suspect it'd be to the taste of plenty of SY fans

again

juuuuuust finished mother night by vonnegut.

summer library run numero dos:
bret easton ellis, american psycho
burroughs & kerouac, and the hippos were boiled in their tanks
russell brand, my booky wook.

I have American Psycho to read for the fall if it I can fit it in.

Fall (August-onward) reading list (this will probably extend well into the new year):
finishing the last 4 Tim Dorsey books (will take 3 days per book or thereabouts)
Finnegans Wake-Joyce
Atlas Shrugged-Rand
Gravity's Rainbow-Pynchon
Great Shark Hunt-Thompson
Thus Spake Zarathustra-Nietzsche

Right now I'm still 80 pages or so from the end of Tornado Juice by Tim Dorsey, and I haven't read any in it in almost a month.

this thread

surely i can't be the first to say that here.
