Books: What are you reading tonight?
We have ongoing threads on t.v. and movies we're watching lately; it's time for one for books. daveT's thread on favorite books covers ones we've already read, but let's put ones we are reading/going to read soon or have just finished(i.e., let's make this thread more like a log than a resume) here.
Below is some stuff I've pulled from daveT's thread, where I felt compelled to talk about my recent book-buying craziness, with some new comments. ----------------- I'm one of those guys who will often read many books at once. Right now I'm at various depths into: Stephen King -- On Writing textbook on real estate Ode to Kirihito - supposedly best graphic novel ever done by Japan's best graphic novelist ever American Splendor (second collection put out after the movie) -- Harvey Pekar, graphic short stories various meditation books -- Mantak Chia How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker -- Penn Jilette Cosmicomics -- Italo Calvino -- another re-read of it On the burner to read next: From Hell -- Alan Moore, graphic novel My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and The Palm Wine Drinkard -- some African dude won a Nobel prize for this I think; supposedly absolutely fantastic; the album by Brian Eno and David Byrne certainly was God is Not Great -- Christopher Hitchens -------------- |
