^ Just finished it actually. Great stuff, but the last chapter really lets it all down.

Up next for me...

Currently reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon.

I'm a little over 100 pages in (just started it today) and I had to take a break because my brain hurts.

Pynchon is one wordy yet interesting fellow. I'm enjoying the book, but it's actually a process to read...and a somewhat arduous one at that.

Pynchon is rough territory. I've picked up Vineland but I've yet to start it. A buddy of mine is way into him and has a Gravitys Rainbow tattoo but even with his shining endorsement, its not enough to shove me into his material yet.

Finished Do androids dream of electric sheep? Didn't really care for it. The weakest thing I've read by Dick so far in fact. Oh and I have no idea how they managed to make Blade runner from this but it has VERY little to do with the book....thankfully. :\

Moving on to:


So far, great...(:

Nope, it's the first thing I've read by him.

Touching from a distance. Ian Curt's wife book about him...or them rather. He's not coming out of it too well. Very controlling of her and racist. I'm up to the bit where the band is just starting and there's very little interesting info about that!
