i can't seem to just read one book at a time cuz i like having options according to my mood. right now im reading the bible(about to start exodus) and the third wave(recommended for anyone who wants a pretty accurate idea on what our civilization is evolving into).

Dylan Thomas-Collected Stories.

This man writes the most disturbing stories I have ever read, as disturbing if not more than Poe. But they are also hauntingly beautiful, very psychadelic and dreamlike, at least the ones I've read so far.

I think Poe probably influenced him a lot. They both died young and were alcoholics, but so are all poets.

i read past the hundreth page and its actually getting more interesting.

yea there were "gangster" but really they were just conned into wasting their lives dieing and getting locked in prison over stupid bullshit rivalries.

it takes a bigger man to try to end violence.

im most shocked by the fact that the dude commited X amount of murders and been in jail multiple times before he was even 18 years old.

way to ruin the book for me ted lol j/p

i'm reading Monkeewrench by P.J. Tracy... good book, really good book

Deep Politics and the Death of JFK by Peter Dale Scott. I feel like I'm becoming more paranoid about everything as I'm reading it, though... Fuckin' X-Files shit, trust no one, all that.

It's a great book, though -- I highly recommend it, not only to people interested in the assassination, but if you're into alternate histories and the politics of the 1950s-1980s, it's totally up your alley.

Just read Don DeLillo's Libra which is a fantastic novel, I highly recommend picking it up. Currently on Conspiracy by Anthony Summers. Reading patches from The Final Report of the Warren Commission on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy as I see fit. Trying to manage my study of the kill from a topic-point of view, reading about the kill zone first and the immediate cover-up, then Oswald, then Ruby, then the other possible conspirators, that sort of thing. Damned interesting, the Kennedy assassinations.

I'd like to second that motion. It really fucks with your head, because he doesn't define what a war story is until halfway through the book, and then you realize that the entire thing is extrapolated... or is it??? Totally mind-boggling. Great read.

edit: My favorite is The Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong

A Clockwork Orange is definitely a better book than movie, although depressing, also enlightening
