Right now I'm reading The Holy Terrors by Jean Cocteau, The Rest Is Noise by Alex Ross, and Ned Rorem's Paris & New York Diaries, but the only book I'm really paying much attention to (i.e. have made it further than chapter one in) is Rorem's. Really, really excellent diary. It's sort of associated with *** culture these days, but I'd recommend it to anyone. Rorem is witty, talks a lot about music (he's an American composer, in case anyone didn't know), and crosses paths with pretty much every major musician, artist, and socialite in Paris and New York during the 50s.

Diary Of A Drug Fiend by Aleister Crowley. Oddly enough I have been reading this on and off for a few months, Almost done reading it though.

Rereading the Lathe Of Heaven by Ursula K. Leguin. A hundred times better than Earthsea.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through. Have you read any of Nabakov's other work? Can you recommend something?

I'm reading, "Why I let my Hair Grow Out" by Maryrose Wood. So far, so good. =]

How was it? I've only read Lolita but I was so blown away by that book that I'm actually a little apprehensive to pick anything else of his. Plus, I've read some contradictory reports about it. :\
