Just finished the Knockout Artist by Harry Crews... really great read. Started out harmless enough, lots of little twisted things and had an ending I really enjoyed. I definitely recommend it.

I've been about half way through A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin for more than a year probably... it's good but not always my cup of tea. I should probably finish that so I can return it to the friend who lent it.

I think I'm gonna start up Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five soon.

I don't read enough. I often start books without finishing... it's a bad habit.

Chuck Pahlaniuk FTW

Lullaby is probably my favorite.

Re-reading A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright. It's definatly worth a read.

kid robot · 03-08-2007, 12:58 PM

just finished "Diary" by Chuck Palahniuk last week. a little more than a quarter way through "Just A Couple Of Days" by Tony Vigorito. absolutely amazing book, i highly recommend it.

SmokeSomeDoja · 03-08-2007, 01:03 PM

clockwork orange is the shit. one of my favorite books -- he wrote another dystopia that someone mentioned here, i forget the name of it and i didnt get a chance to finnish it yet, but it was pretty good. about an overpopulated earth in the near future and how the world government deals with it.

A Brief History in Time - Stephen Hawking

and then

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

krangs_androidbody · 03-24-2007, 07:35 PM

finished Slaughterhouse Five... added to my perspective on life. about how all moments happen exactly how they were meant to happen and always will happen that way. they're structured that way. all we can do is embrace the good moments and ignore the bad. I'll have to read some more Vonnegut maybe Cats Cradle next.

Right now I'm reading the story of Egar Cayce. It's interesting but hasn't changed my life yet... a proclamation made when the book was lent to me.

SmokeSomeDoja · 03-24-2007, 08:38 PM

vonnegut is one of my favs...cats cradle is awesome...sirens of titan might be my favorite...check that out for sure
