I'm reading Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" for a philosophy class. It's wonderful so far. [/ QUOTE ] I loved this book when I read it in University. I think I'll pick it up again. |

Angela Carter is fantastic. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for flagging that up - I just finished The Magic Toyshop, and really enjoyed it. Think I'll need to read it again sometime soon tho, so I can properly appreciate all the symbolism. |

I'm reading Anthony Kiedes' autobio, "Scar Tissue." As expected, so far it's been almost entirely about his drug use.

Re: Books: What are you reading tonight?
Everybody in the Lounge quit reading or what?
I listened to an audiobook version (from the guttenberg project online) of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. I liked it, but didn't think it was amazingly incredible. It definitely was better than the new movie version, which I, unfortunately, saw before reading the book. I enjoyed it a lot and think it's worth a reread at some point. I'm currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird for class. Yes, I'm a 22 year old senior and this is the first time I've been assigned TKaM. Amazingly, this is the first I've really ever picked it up. It was a slow starter for me, but it's growing on me bit by bit. (I have the Gregory Peck movie coming from Netflix in a few days, so I will be able to compare after I read the book). What else ya'll readin Lounge? |

TKaM is a fine book. Too bad she doesnt write anything else.
Edit: Forgot to add reading Plato's "The Republic" for another philosophy class. |

What else ya'll readin Lounge? [/ QUOTE ] I am finishing up on Criptonomicon. It is pretty long, so far I am on page 880 (out of ~1150). I read some books while taking a break from reading Criptonomicon they were: The Game by Neil Strauss. Interesting book about the community of pick up artists. America Misunderstood by Sivakumar. A compilation of news editorials from around the world concerning the election of Bush in 2004. It was a very interesting read. Kill Phil by Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson. I didn't like it that much, although it does give good ranges of hands for short stack play. The Making of a Poker Player by Matt Matros. I liked this a lot, as it has a story structure instead of an education structure as a poker book. I enjoyed it a lot, I think the chapter on heads up play was really good. It was also made more interesting by the fact that I read it parallel to "The Game" and both are storied about guys who work very hard and study hard to become great in a specialized community. Interesting connections. |
