Now Reading

White Noise is definitely one of my favorites.

interesting thus far but a bit too tame for my tastes.....

Has anyone read Bret Easton Ellis' Imperial Bedroom? How is it?

It's pretty good. Very short. Has his usual paranoid sinister vibe. Nothing too surprising about it. If you like his other books you'll probably enjoy it.

I thought it was good though it felt sort of Bret Easton Ellis by numbers at times, but hey that's just me.

Sounds good to me

Just read The Big Game by Donald O'Brien, interesting read. The fate of the world relies on the game

Just finished an old classic,

The Giver.

And if I was the giver, the first memory I would transmit would be the first time I got high.

Then the second would be getting the munchies.

Just started this. Still at childhood. Speaks in the third person. Looking forward to how it progresses.

I can't say I've seen it referenced yet but it's still early days..... I can only hope.

1Q84, Almost done with the second volume and I still don't know what this is supposed to be about, at least it's not a difficult read.

Cryptonomicon (again, since years)

so goddamned IDM...

Consider the Lobster

Im reading all of jon ronsons books. All very good.

Stephen Jay Gould - "Full House"

One of my professor's Ph.D thesis - "Bushido: The Creation of a Martial Ethic in Late Meiji Japan"

and I should be reading this two volume collection of articles on Japan's political economy, but fuck me I don't feel like reading that right now.

The Joy Of Rex

a chapter from "the birth of the clinic" by fuckoult, if he didn't already die of aids i'd wished it upon him. why would anyone write something in such pointlessly convoluted way for scientific purposes.

rude. also, cunt.
