Myths America Lives By

just ended up CELL by S. King, and THE INFORMERS by B. E. Ellis. I also re-read DAGON by H.P. Lovecraft for like, the 345435 time.

On The Road
|
Just finished "Run with the Hunted", a Bukowski compilation of poems and short stories arranged in a semi-autobiographical sort of way.
Now, believe it or not, I'm reading the New Testament. Matthew, to be more precise. |

This one is great GREAT great ! I've just finished Norway No Mori, by Haruki Murakami. His women characters actually seem to act and think the way women I know do. This is something I find rather rare in a man's work. Another one who showed a woman that could be met in real life was M. Agueev. There's a great bit in his book about his cocaine addiction. A letter the narrator receives from the woman he's having an affair with. Both books ain't as good as Middlesex though (personal tastes, of course). |
The best book I've read recently is Ada, or Ardor by Nabokov. I read it over the summer and it shot into my top 5.
Has anyone read any Gaddis? I want to read one of his this summer. The Recognitions probably. Or JR. I also want to pick up the new edition of The Aeneid soon. I also need to get around to reading Don Quixote. What's a good translation? I hate reading translations. |
Anthony Burgess's 'Earthly Powers'.

Douglas Coupland - Shampoo Planet Douglas Coupland - All Families Are Psychotic Douglas Coupland - Life After God |
Still wading through Against The Day, the new Pynchon book. It's really good but boy is it long (over 1000 pages). I'm about 2/3rds of the way through. I did put it down for a bit to read Our Band Is Your Life but I've finished that now.

Im reading The Old Man and the Wolves by Julia Kristeva.
its basically a heavily psychological, allegorical work written under the guise of a mystery/detective novel. its decent, but its a little to deep for me right now, im yearning for a good trashy novel. |
![]() i'm reading this at the moment. it's a pretty tough read, but it's really interesting. |
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.
