Genius!

Joan Didion's White Album and a mystery called Silence by Thomas Perry.

I've had this book for quite a few years now but I've never managed to get around to reading it. It's currently on my books-to-get-rid-of-because-I'm-never-going-to-get-around-to-read-them pile.

Should I remove it from that pile?

Yes, it's a keeper.

The Colossus Of Maroussi

Also, and I'm sure it's due to reading this book, I had a dream that my family and RdTv's family all went to Greece and camped out on the beach. Now I want to do it for real.

I'm kind of inbetween books at the moment, so I'm just reading some of George Herbert's poetry again (he's something of a hero). Next up is either a biography of Herbert that I found, or an old book I've been looking for for years, Philip Sulley's The Hundred of Wirral (1891).

How am I gonna get through them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

less than $100 pesos (that's less than ten dollars, gringos) plus 10% discount for guessing a trivia about peter sellers. and in english, no less.

the lemmy book is awesome, by the way, although i wish he got more about his time in hawkwind and had more touring and recording stories. still a great read, it's like talking to him in a way.

Good book, Neuromancer.

I should read it again, but I'm fucking overwhelmed right now.

What is the What

I don't own it, never opened it, never touched it. But I can't get past the title.

You should own it, open it, and definitely touch it.

Just read Our Band Could Be Your Life, which was good, except for some really stupid errors (saying Girl Trouble was an Olympia band for instance).

Now reading Valentine Pontifex by Robert Silverberg.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Good find, Alex. Bet it's the Constance Garnett translation. Hmm, maybe David Magarshack. I like both, (Garnett slightly more), but prefer the Jessie Coulson one most of all. It's part of the Norton Critical edition of Crime and Punishment.

I recently got the Isaac Bashevis Singer book for a buck used.

I just got this non-fiction book called Happenings about happenings edited and written by Michael Kirby.

Has anyone read it?

It is the Constance Garnett translation. It is pretty old. 1950 is the publishing year.

here's what i'm reading:

I plan to finish Ulysses either Sunday or Monday.
