You read Wild Sheep Chase yet?

Yeah it was a little wierd but i liked it. DDD is excellent so far though. Should finish it this week.

finished:

dance dance dance - murakami - amazing
hey nostrodamus - douglas coupland - ok, last story was the best
choke - palahniuk - pretty good, better than survivor or invisible monsters imo

now reading:

norwegian wood - murakami

Hello all, just finished a re-read of Zena And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirzig. It's a philosohical story about a guys trip through madness and the destruction it brings to his life and family, then his recovery with their help.

Some fascinating stuff and deep meaningful bits.

For example, without using comparisons, how would you define the meaning of "quality". No cheating by looking it up - try and see if you can do it.

I'm also working through the back issues I have of Headpress magazine, a counter culture mag that covers the seamy underside of society. Nasty, nasty stuff, weird stuff, sexy stuff and stuff that makes me wonder how people ever got into their particular fetish.

thanks

Iain

trainspotting free with esquire magazine

Agree with Guffer on the 3 he's read.

I am reading…

Michel Houellebecq - Atomised

Just finished HP & The Half Blood Prince (again )

I'm reading valley of fear (sherlock holmes) for my crime fiction module… aannndd margaret atwood - cats eye which is quite good.

Yeah both of those books are for my course…

I'm doing a crime fiction one, and contemporary fiction which is mostly newer stuff so its alright.

DH Lawrence and Shakespeare is where it gets boring
