Girl In A Band: A Memoir by Kim Gordon

i picked it up last Saturday and have to admit have not devoured it the way i thought i would.....i think it has more to do with timing than the books worth....so far so good....she is a great and fluid writer and i can't to get to the shit talking :)

Decided this evening that it's sat on my shelf un-read for far too long. Tonight I begin reading We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (the Mirra Ginsburg translation.)

For those not familiar with the title, it was a Russian dystopian SF novel written in 1920-21 which served as the literary inspiration for Brave New World and 1984.

Lord I hate your smartguy exterior.
Hoping there's substance, because I want to read that - based solely on your rec.

It'll have to wait until I finish Speaker For The Dead mother****er

How long ago did you read Ender's Game?

Speaker for the Dead blew me completely away.

I just read Ender's Game for the first time :) I'm braced for Speaker, so excited.

The Colossus of Maroussi by Henry Miller. It's no Air-Conditioned Nightmare but I like it. Faster read if nothing else.

It's a very different read. Much deeper and way more rewarding from an emotional standpoint. Enjoy!

Reading Alasdair Gray's Lanark, firm in my belief that this is the greatest Scottish novel ever written.

The Best Nonrequired American Reading 2006

Basically, a collection of short fiction and short non-fiction, hand picked by Dave Eggars as the best of 2006. I found it for like four bucks at The Strand in the East Village. Picked up some other stuff there too. I got the Exploring Calvin and Hobbes, A Cooks Tour by Anthony Bourdain, Slasher Movies, Movies of the 2000's, and A Song of Ice and Fire series.

I'm in for a good couple months of reading.

Been a while since I read some Burroughs, thought I might fix that. There are blood stains on some of the pages of the copy I picked up from my school library. Perfect.
