I enjoyed it.

Just finished rereading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman.

I enjoyed well enough for having read it once already.

Gaiman is a pretty cool dude.

 

 

I'm reading Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman.

I picked up two books at a book sale today. I got 1984, which I've intentionally avoided since highschool, because, well, I get it already. But it was only $2 so now someday I'll actually read it. I also got Being There by Jerzy Kosinski. I watched the movie when I was a kid and it was the first time I remember being struck by the intelligence of a film, and I recognized the name Kosinksi, so I bought it, also for $2. I'm either going to read one of those today or a Phillip K Dick novel, I haven't decided yet.

I'm incapable of reading just one book at a time.

I know the feeling, I usually have two I'm bouncing between, and a third, I'm just kind of starting.

 

I write that way as well, I'm working on two novels at the same time, with a third, I'm starting to outline.

Today I read The Collected Works of Billy the Kid by Micahel Ondaatje.  I'd never read anything by him and never heard of this before.  It was really good, a cool idea.

Ondaatje = awesomesauce.

 

Lamentably, I'm stuck reading suffragette fiction for an essay. Blergh.

 

Edit: Equus is also fantastic.

i'm reading an old anne rice book she wrote under the name anne rampling called belinda. it's romantic and totally perverted because it's about a dude in his 40s that falls in love with a 16 year old.

So it's basically a kind redux of Lolita? Anne Rice is great though, so I'll look for it.

Definitely read Lolita, I had to read it in High School, and it really freaked me out. I read it again in college, and it was so sad and disturbing, Nabokov just really fucks with the reader all the way to the end.

High Fidelity - Nick Hornby

 

I'm about 4/5th done and it is by far already my favourite book ever, much like the film is my favourite film ever.
