Now Reading

Just finished reading "Galapagos" by Kurt Vonnegut.

Next up is "Fury" by Salman Rushdie.

In the odd free moment on the subway when I don't have a book, I am reading the collected works of Shakespeare on my iPod.

I just started reading The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

It's an interesting read

You want to read Bret Easton Ellis' Glamorama. It's one of my top three novels of all time. His most mature novel, I think.

DOOM: Repercussions of Evil

John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.

John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."

Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"

There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.

"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"

So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.

"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons

"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.

"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted

The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"

And then John was a zombie.

I do all my reading on the subway (90% at least). I don't see a problem with it really. Reading on the iPod is not the best, but at least I don't have to carry around the printed versions of the complete shakespeare...(I have those back in Canada).

it was alright, bit far-fetched. the ending was silly. took a character out of his usual environment and into san francisco and that stuff felt forced somehow. maybe because i've been to the locations.

reading Marcuse's One Dimensional Man...modern philosophy critique of the technological world, pretty interesting, albeit ive gotten the point of it after 30 pages or so.

reading all the pretty horses (then the other two border triology books by cormac mccarthy) and googlewhack by dave gorman

reading Franz Kafka, all his short stories bundled in one book (current story: The Methamorphosis)

Just finished Pet Sematary, on to Good Omens next . . .
