That Man
|
I'm reading Seneca's dialogues 'on anger' at the moment (three dialogues, I'm still reading part one). I'm currently on a studying brake, so aren't really putting in effort. It's quitte interresting to read though, since Seneca made a sort of angermanagement therapy out of it. Ethics is good stuff.

I'm reading The Ginger Man. It's a good book, and it's interesting for anybody who knows Ireland and Irish people today, to see how much the place has changed in 60 short years. The characters are great, all of them.

Reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest atm. Pretty damn crazy.
Have you read Ham on Rye? Probably my favorite Bukowski novel; most of it deals with adolescence though, so it might not have the same effect if you're reading it in adulthood...I don't know.

It really is an amazing book. There is no way I could have fully appreciated it back in high school--the way reality seemlessly floats into hallucination and insanity...the brilliance there would have been completely lost on me, especially before I started doing drugs. You know, Kesey came up with the writing style for the book during a Mescaline trip.
