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 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!

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) |

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.

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. |
