going to be begin reading Small Steps, anyone else read it? It's the sequel to Holes, but in Armpit's perspective along with appearances from X-Ray.

I'll read it this weekend and get back with a review.

Just finished "Cosmopolitan Greetings" by Ginsberg<3. Compliments of my beloved PaperHurricanes... now starting "White Shroud" by Gins, also compliments of PH<3.
Aaaand I should have a lot to read while I'm laid up from surgery. He brings me books. Stuff we like.

. Bob Dylan, when he doesn't even like Bob Dyland. Edith Piaf, because I reference her somewhat often. Beat poetry. Love PaperHurricanes.

I just finished reading Running With Scissors. Not sure what to read next... any suggestions?

I'm working my way through this massive tome of Kurt Vonnegut's completed work. So far I've got through Slaughterhouse 5 and The Sirens of Titan, now working on Player's Piano.
Slaughterhouse 5 is easily the best so far, but they are all decent. The guy has a crazy imagination and great style with dashes of humour. Definitely the best science fiction I've read, perhaps excepting Illium by Dan Simmons.

Just finished:

"Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman. What a book...

Other Augusten Burroughs stuff. RWS was rather brilliant... and I'd also suggest some W. Burroughs, one of AB's influences.
