the secret history.

Nothing.
And I've never been more proud.

Batman: Dark Victory

Cued up: Batman: The Long Halloween

I also have Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas tucked in my bag, but I keep forgettting to pull it out and open the damned thing. It would be a re-read.

oh my,
"The Golden Triangle of the title refers to a bizarre sex cult that requires a steady supply of adolescent girls for sacrifice. The sordid tale is narrated by a kidnapper who passes himself off as a mad doctor who revels in slicing off the clothes of his prey ("I slit the golden dress axially with a single stroke of the scalpel"). He muses, "No sooner have I opened the paper at the sex-crimes page than I feel a flush come to my cheeks," and offers recurring images of "golden pubic fleece," "the black triangle of fleece," "the incipient fleece" and the "Titian-red pubis."


I've always wanted to read that, Are you enjoying it?

whys that?

I meant to type Recollections of THE Golden Triangle. That's the actual title. It isn't that kinky so far and the last book I read by the same author (Djinn) wasn't kinky at all. I had no idea, honest!

Reading constantly takes away from one's own thoughts. It only likens thoughts to what is read.

I will read The Man Who Was Thursday over the summer when I don't have all this class reading to do.

But what I am reading right now:
Metaphysics - Aristotle
Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison - Foucault
Critique of Pure Reasion - Immanuel Kant (yet again)

it's true, reading can be a form of addiction/evasion. a lot better than tv though, unless you're talking danielle steel (sp?) & such other pap.

Anyone care to share some thoughts on these books, if indeed you have read them?

Just finished True Blood by Mike McQuay and now about to start the sequel Mother Earth. He was a working class guy, turned science fiction writer, who never made much money writing and died young. He was incredibly prophetic in some of his ideas though. In the early '80s he wrote Jitterbug which predicted a future world conquered by Islamic extremists, and in these books he deals with a world gone post-apocolypse not from nuclear war, but from global warming and genetic engineering. Pretty amazing, since he wrote the books in 1985 in the heighth of the Reagan years when nukes were the only civilization destroyer in most SF lit.

The List of Seven by Mark Frost. My English teacher let me borrow because we were talking about Twin Peaks the other day, and he remembered he had the book.

Just finished these:



I'm now reading:

and, I'm about to start:

Oh man. House of Leaves was a truly amazing book. I loved it.

I want to get house of leaves, but by the time I go to a bookstore, my funds are already depleted.

My brain is fucked just by flipping through it!

I didn't think House of Leaves was as great as everyone says it is, but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

I'm reading Gravity's Rainbow at the moment.

I am reading Memory Babe.

i'm rereading Leaves of Grass.
Novelwise i'm reading 100 years of solitude by gabriel garcia marquez
