Stephen King is one guy who couldn't write a decent ending to save his life. This book is a perfect example. |

Yeah. In the edition I have Bukowski writes the introduction and one of Bukowski's peoms, simpley titled Fante - I believe - is in the back of the book. I liked his style as well and found Bandini to be easy to relate to. |
at the moment i am trying to juggle masses of books at the same time, but essentially i am reading crime and punishment by dostoyevsky, junkie by burroughs, dharma bums by kerouac and i often dip into leaves of grass by walt whitman, i keep telling myself i should sit down and devourer the whole thing, but i never manage it. i guess i'm a lightweight. but i should really give it more attention from what i've read so far (its amazing).
oh yes, and something by thomas hardy for school. rock on. |
Crime and Punishment should demand all your attention.

Ugh. Quantum anything.. horrible, horrible. Doesn't bear reading about. I quite liked physics until it got to that bit. I'm reading "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen now. (Because they're showing the 1995 BBC mini-series on TV this week and I've been watching it and realized yesterday that I never finished reading the book. So I'm catching up.) |

A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album
by Ashley Kahn Up next is a Miles Davis bio. I just love how this dude curses. Here's a Miles quote from the Coltrane book "Trane liked to ask all these motherfucking questions back then about what he should or shouldn't play. Man, fuck that shit; to me he was a professional musician and I have always wanted whoever played with me to find their own place in the music" |
Im about to finish A Scanner Darkly
![]() it was very good |
Coupla books and bunch of articles on meth for a research paper on the effectiveness of Iowa's new pseudoephedrine law.
Sporadically, in down moments during this, Joe Sacco's But I Like It, a book of rocknroll comics which are pretty amusing. Book comes complete with a 4-song CD of The Miracle Workers live in Germany, circa 1988. What, never heard of The Miracle Workers? Well, neither had I until I picked this up. They had a really groovey sound. Very garagey like the Stooges, but with slightly more chops. They sound a little like Mudhoney, but heavier, more hard rock than grunge. |

"Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture" - Thurston Moore
& I'm always reading..."A Seperate Reality: Further Conversations w/ Don Juan" - Carlos Castaneda |
I am reading crappy BDSM porn by Anne Rice. It's called "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" (the first in an "erotic trilogy"). I don't know why I'm reading it. I hate Anne Rice's writing. And the BDSM is not turning me on at all.
I hate it when I start reading shitty books. I always feel compelled to finish them. And it always takes ages. |
