One Hundred Years of Solitude. I'm about halfway through at the moment. Before that it was Love All the People which is a collection of Bill Hicks' stand-up routines, letters, interviews and so on, which was amazing. I am now completely used to laughing like a drain at things no one else knows about on public transport.

Touching From A Distance - Ian Curtis & Joy Division.

Written by Ians widow, for those who didn't know. The ultimate Ian-fan-bible. I love it.

Isn't that the one they are making into the movie about Ian Curtis?

I read The Man in the High Castle yesterday, in a big rush all in one sitting, which is the proper way to read a Philip K. Dick novel. In the forward, he mentioned Speer's Inside the Third Reich as one of the books he used for source material, and later in the day I got a paperback copy of that for 25 cents at a Goodwill thrift store. Guess I'll read that next.

Yeah, I remember picking up A Scanner Darkly one afternoon and just spending the entire rest of the day devouring it. Great stuff.

1984 - George Orwell

utter genius of a book, almost as good as hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, but not quite.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Ah the joys of working at your family owned bookstore!

I just picked up Naked Pictures of Famous People by Jon Stewart. Hilarious so far!

I'm reading While I Live by John Marsden. He's one of my favourite authors and this is so far turning out to be a great follow-up to his Tomorrow series.

Quoth Feanor:
Ah borgasm. He tries so hard to be the token asshole on the forum, except he's not here often enough so rather than making people angry he makes them laugh at him instead.
A treat for people who are named Michael

Is that the book that's being made into a movie by Tom Tykwer?

I've just started The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco and I'm loving it so far.

because i've been spending too much time online/working it just took me way too long to finish Michael Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon (the decline of the american empire at the end of the age of oil)" - not exactly a light read, but well worth it.

tomorrow i'm either going to start Piri Thomas' "Down These Mean Streets"...or re-read Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land".

of course on any given day i flip through a few pages of Legs McNeil's "Please Kill Me", but it's just a bunch of (really well edited) interviews and anecdotes, so i can stand to read it like that.
