Guest markovianprocess Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 'Ask the Dust' by John Fante Excellent stuff. I've got a few on the go. This thread actually made me realise how much I actually read. Books The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking Shadows on The Cave Wall: A New Theory of Evolution by Keith Skene The Hell of It All by Charlie Brooker Zines Razorcake (latest issue) just finished Jerk Store #6 just finished Excuse Me, Do You Have Any Cocaine #2 Comic Books Spiderman Noir: Eyes Without A Face mini-series just finished Spiderman 1602 mini-series just finished Oh, and for uni I'm reading a couple of different things, here are the topics - Scottish health policy (focused on HCAIs), the securitisation of immigration, the lack of multicultural policy in Germany and some things on Margaret Thatcher to determine whether we should think of her as being ideological or pragmatic.

I did just read Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, which was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcstrange87 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The only book that I'm reading right now that isn't assigned for any class is Soccernomics. Have any other members read it? A must for any soccer/football fan. I do have a pile of books on my desk ready to be read during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutinyzine Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I got about 50 pages left in the new Nick Cave novel "The Death of Bunny Munro". I'm pretty dissapointed. I though it would be a lot better. However, I just picked up "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel García Marquez which I'm pretty damn psyched to get in to. Easily my favorite author of all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokithelion Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 "Under the Dome" Stephen King I got out of shape for reading long novels by reading way too many new sites, magazines, and non-fiction books. "Under the Dome" is my "training" to get back into a reading pattern so I can read "A Game of Thrones" for the first time. Super stoked.

jurrobear Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind Read this in 9th grade when I was helping out at the public library just because of the epic cover. This book made me pick up a Mayhem CD right after I finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 "Teaching What Really Happened" by the dude who wrote "Lies My Teacher Told Me" "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn (I've read a lot of it, but I'm going cover to cover" Another copy of "The Shia Revival" by Vali Nasr because my orig disappeared in the book club. and if I ever get 5 minutes to read for fun-fun, "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy. I started "America: The Book" a while ago but I left it at my brother's house. Good ol' John Stewart. I have so many other books 'on deck' but don't get time until the summer.
