Ah. Loved Hyperion and Carrion comfort, but haven't read any of his recent work.

Have ya read all 4 of the Hyperion books? Also, Song of Kali is essential Simmons. Maybe the most depressing novel I've ever read, but masterfully written.

I was thinking about reading Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media so I watched the documentary about his life last week. (I confess - the documentary was poorly cut and amateur in its presentation.) But production value aside - there was a scene where Chomsky walks down a hall to his office, and a Bertrand Russell portrait is visible on the wall right at his office door.

I knew immediately what I'd be reading this weekend. I've put off reading his critical essays for far too long!

It's pretty good all the way through, but it gets epic near the end, if you can bring yourself to read that far.

Ken Kesey - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

A very good read.

Moss, I'm about 2/3rds through re-reading it. If you want I can send it to you when I'm finished.

I'm about 10% in so far, and to be honest, I fully understand what Easton Ellis is doing with his writing, but I find it incredibly tedious reading pages upon pages of descriptions of products. I love feeling and language so much that regardless of what the intention is, I just feel like I'm wading through mud in this one.

Patrick Bateman is played by Cillian Murphy in my head.
