I'm reading every Haruki Murakami book because they are hella sweet

I read the Wind Up Bird Chronicle, Kafka on the Shore, and Norwegian Wood all in the last week

Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself - by David Lipsky

It is one of the last non-fiction books related to David Foster Wallace that I haven't read yet. I just started on it last night. I've never actually read any of his fiction, but own almost all his non-fiction at this point. I'm hoping it can live up to my sky-high expectations, because I've been looking forward to reading this for a long time. Yes, it's technically written by another author, but it's mostly transcripts of David talking. I think this is some of the last material from David before he killed himself.


Otherwise I'm also reading a collection of letters written by the early 20th century Danish actress Asta Nielsen, plus I'm reading/looking through some photography collections I got recently.

After networking with a gent who founded a Creative Commons media organization, I found that the footnotes of his site recommended Cory Doctorow's Information Doesn't Want to Be Free.

I then realized that I had another of his titles yet unread on my Copyright bookshelf - Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright, and the Future of the Future with an introduction by John Perry Barlow.

In the true spirit of CC, Doctorow offers all of his writings in various formats for free on his website.

The essays offer a fascinating insider perspective of the content industry and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Mindhunter

Having first watched both the Netflix series' Mindhunter and Manhunt: Unabomber, it's cool spotting where each of the shows leaned on the book in exact ways.

I know I'm late, but what did you think of it after finishing?

been reading all his books and I hate to say this one was a total bomb. Super weak and pointless. All kindsa things brought up early as usual, but this time around nothing came back at all. None of it really ended up having any meaning. It's literally like half of a book

Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier by Mark Frost

Pretty much a must read for anyone who watched Twin Peaks The Return as it provides a lot of narrative closure for many of the characters that we did not get over the 18 episodes. I won't go into anything specific, but a lot of theories I had about where certain characters were, turned out to be flat out wrong. Now, one could argue that there's a slight cynical bent to this, and that perhaps Lynch deliberately left stories out to ensure that people would have to buy this and The Secret History of Twin Peaks to experience the whole story, but honestly I don't have much of a problem with that. It's a great read (and a quick one), so it is definitely worth you time.

If you count graphic novels/ comics as works of literature (which i do) im reading Vol.1 of The Incredible Hulk ESSENTIAL series.
