England - the Autobiography

I'm up to King Alfred the Great saving Angelcynn from the wrath of the Danish vikings. Epic stuff.

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis for the second tme, I need some new books. =\

I know. He was so cool otherwise... ever read Lolita? One of my all time faves. I love the man for coming up with that in 1957.

I've just started Stephen King's Salem's Lot. I've never been disappointed with a single book of his, and I'm really looking forward to this one.

^My favorite book of his is Different Seasons. Love the Shawshank Redemption & The Body.

I really dont read at all. But my mom picked me up Magic Johnson's autobiography, so Ive dipped into that.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite books. What's most surprising is that a lot of his work includes references to homosexuality. Pale fire is for all intents and purposes gay literature, the main character and narrator is a homosexual. But knowing that he disliked homosexuals (despite his own brother being gay and dying in a concentration camp) puts a whole different spin on his work. :| He's still a genius and one of the best stylists of the English language...

Agreed there... but the including homosexual references in his works vs him being a homophobe... I think it's like the Hitler syndrome... it's been rumoured that Hitler had gay tendencies, yet hated homosexuals. He was part Jewish, and hates Jews. Wanted everyone to be blonde and blue-eyed, but he was dark-haired and brown-eyed. See what I'm getting at? Just a theory...
