Readind David Simon's 'Homicide'. I finished watching Season 5 of The Wire and had this sitting on my shelf. It's really good, an absolute tome but you find yourself flying through it.

I'm currently reading 'Riot Grrrl!: Revolution Girl Style Now!' which is a rather brilliant history of Riot Grrrl music and culture and The Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962 which is utterly fascinating.

That sounds really interesting, I'm a big fan of Riot Grrl, I'll have to check that out.

I've somehow got 5 books on the go at the moment that I'm alternating between depending on my mood.

Liquid Kids - Scott G Buchan
The Damned United - David Peace
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - Jules Verne
Quintessential Tarantino - Edwin Page
The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins - John Pearson

I bought that Riot Grrrl book as a Christmas present, but I never had a sneaky peak. I should buy myself a copy.

I'd enjoy the Sylvia Plath journals as well no doubt.

I have been reading Jack Kerouac - On The Road for about 5 months and can not get into it at all, hence why it's taking me so long to get through it.
I think I should just give up

Liquid Kids is the last book I read.

High recommendation from me also.

Look forward to more books by Scott Buchan!

I wonder how that will end? Maybe the Nazis will turn it around at the end and win?
