Read about reading? I'll take this as a nervous-fingered slip-up.

But to answer...

Have you read other Calvino? If so, the lector has been caveated. If not, go for it. It's just a book.

I've finally gotten around to starting this.

toxic johnny · 10.04.2010, 02:42 PM

I'm rereading The Cities Of The Red Night trilogy by William Burroughs for the first time since the 80's.
Just started The Western Lands... the final installment.

Pure bliss.

I'm waiting for the collected work of Nick Land, Fanged Noumena, to be published this month.

Just bought:
Wu-Tang Manual

Just ordered 'The Moonchild', 'Diary of a Drug Fiend' and 'The Collected Short Stories' by Aleister Crowley. Any other particular books of his I should indulge in?

ink. · 10.20.2010, 03:44 PM

more than likely the book on top of the carload of junk we have.

I've been scanning through a few 'feminist' writers of late. Lispector, Duras, Cixous, Irigaray and my dear Ms Kane. All of whom I'd heartily recommend.

Also, Philip Gross' Changes of Address - especially the Wasting Game - is some of the better new poetry I've read of late. So read that.

the ikara cult · 10.31.2010, 08:49 AM

My friend gave me Sarah Kanes complete works the other day, ive been sipping through that, plus ive nearly finished American Psycho so i think ill need to start reading this soon just to balance out the psyche.

How did you like it? I'm like 300 pages in and gotta say that I liked The Corrections more....a bit of a disappointment, honestly. Franzen namedropping bands seemed really lame to me and I really don't give a shit about the characters.
