One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just started this. I figure I liked the other Don Winslow books I read so I might as well keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaneelkip Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Reading Leslie Marmon Silko - Ceremony it's a depressing read but so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Almost done with Bienville's Dilemma, a Historical Geography of New Orleans. This is a very thorough, yet easy to read history of the New Orleans area, and south Louisiana. It may not mean as much to people who haven't spent a lot of time down there, but I've loved reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Reading Sloppy Seconds: The Tucker Max Leftovers. It's really not that good. He's trying too hard with this one, but I'm going to ride it out until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Love me some Watts. The Wisdom of Insecurity is great. I went through a phase of reading Western Buddhist stuff not long ago. Stephen Batchelor is really good. Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield are pretty good. Going on Being by Mark Epstein is easily my favorite book from that genre. As an atheist, I appreciate the lack of dogma in most of the Western Buddhists' writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch. Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm yet to finish reading Plexus, but I'm just not in the mood for Henry Miller, so I think I'm going to start this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oohdoiloveyou Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've been trying to read Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins for like a month now. It's good, but then I went out and bought This is How You Lose Herby Junot Diaz and I've been reading that instead. I'll probably put off trying to read Still Life by starting another Murakami novel.

mitch. Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Didn't start Rules of Attraction, opted for Requiem for a Dream instead. I'm two chapters in and the spelling is bugging the hell out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Rules of Attraction is excellent. I've read almost all of the Bret Easton Ellis stuff and that one has probably been my favorite so far. I just finished reading This past week I read A Universe From Nothing and No Country for Old Men. I liked both a lot, especially the McCarthy book.

sydmsix Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Currently reading The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America by Timothy Egan. Very interesting and great read about the beginnings of the conservation of public lands and very vivid recreation of the massive wildfire of 1910 in the Pacific Northwest. Great bit of history.

faith Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm taking a Holocaust history class right now so most of what I read is related to the subject. Just finished Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz and Tadeusz Borowski's This Way for the Gas, Ladies & Gentlemen. About to start Neighbors by Jan T Gross.

IanRees Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Its been a while since i've read a book, so when my girlfriend ordered a couple from amazon i decided id get back into it too. I've always been a fan of Chuck Palahniuk (except Pygmy which is also the last book i tried to read) and have read everything up until & including Haunted so i decided id start again on his catalog. I started Snuff last night and will read Damned after that, i also have Tell-All & Rant on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I tore through Nemesis by Philip Roth in a week. Highly recommend it for a fast read. I just started his American Pastoral, for which he won a Pulitzer. Anyone else into Roth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mando Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Almost done with Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill, was looking for something horror to read and although it got good reviews, I am struggling to stay interested in it through the second half. Have around 10 books on my shelf to choose from once I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch. Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Almost done reading Pulp by Charles Bukowski, I'm really enjoying it. Kind of nice to read one of his books where Henry Chinaski isn't the protagonist. I finished reading The Rules of Attraction, it was much better than I remembered. I don't know if it's just me, but I found Sean Bateman to have more qualities of Patrick in American Psycho than Patrick did in his small part in the book. I also read The End of Alice by A.M Holmes a couple of weeks back, that book is very graphic...to put it lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick059 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I actually just finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. My first outing of his, and I enjoyed it enough to warrant further looks into his other works. Has anybody read his 1Q84? Probably going to start it up soon.

kamika215 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Just finished This Love Is Not For Cowards: Salvation and Soccer In Ciudad Juarez by Robert Powell. My wife got it for me for Christmas and I finally got around to it. I knew nothing about it, and it turned out to be a great. It's not so much about soccer as it's about Juarez, Mexico... a place I'm not planning to visit anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
