TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Currently reading "Nirvana: The True Story" by Everett True. I'm about a quarter of the way through it, and it is quite good. There is alot of stuff about other bands, which makes it more interesting than the typical Nirvana bio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmerEldritch Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Just finished The Doors of Perception/Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley. Intend to re-read my three volumes of Phillip K. Dick short stories - highly recommended reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_inthehills Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've just finished Already Dead by Charlie Huston. Its actually a good vampire book. Not as pretencious as Anne Rice but much much better than that Poppy Z Brite shite.peteinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimyReizeger Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Just finished Success by Martin Amis. I tried Times Arrow and Money initially but gave up on both for different reasons. Success is a fantastic read about a trio of young people driven to madness and vice by society..and incest. It captures very well the loneliness of city life, the physical and mental degeneration of working shitty jobs, abhorrence of a fashion / commerce driven society. Lucky Jim by his Dad, Kingsley, is also cracking; it's what inspired me to persist with Martin.About to start a Will Self number I bought today (for a pretty horrible nine quid..)

scottyboy Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I finished the book about The Fall and also Moby Dick.Moby Dick was awesome. Ahab = legendo!There was a while there when I thought it was going to suck, but no.Currently reading some pop-math stuff.ahab is indeed a crazy guy. to be honest i skipped a lot of the parts where hes going off on a tangent about whales, as it bored the shit out of me. i prefer the parts where ahab is stalking the deck, waving burning harpoons around and generally scaring his own crew...im reading whisky galore by compton mackenzie, the scramble for africa by thomas pakenham and slowly plodding through war and peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addi Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Finished both the pop-math books (although one was more computer-historyish).Then read 'A Study In Scarlet' by Arthur Conan Doyle (it's the first sherlock holmes novel). I bought 6 shelock holmes books when I was in Blackwell's because there was a deal on. [3 for 2, 4.99 each] Awesome. An I'm about 50 pages from the end of the penguin classics compilation of H.P. Lovecraft stuff called 'Call of Cthulhu and other wierd tales' which kicks ass, as expected.Yaaaay, books. Exams are getting in the way, last one on friday though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodast Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Escape from Alcatraz by J. Campbell Bruce. I'm reading it for facts, which it has, but I dislike the way it's written, which is something like a crappy novel crossed with amateur journalism."Their tommyguns beat a rat-tat-tat of slaughter that echoed in big black type, and their outsized egos gorged on the scare of banner lines." Huh?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Now I have the time of day to read, I've just finished "The First Casualty" by Ben Elton. Highly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimyReizeger Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Can anyone recommend me something along the lines of Martin Amis, Hunter S. Thompson, JD Salinger, Easton Ellis? I lost a friends book on the bus. I want to get him something good as an apology, something mind-blowing preferably, though maybe just a ruddy good read.

Dayeth Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 bought "The Day of the Jackal" by Frederick Forsyth, rather looking forward to getting stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just finished 'Haunted' by Chuck Palahniuk, totally worth a read, but not for the faint hearted. So many good stories that make you question our 'shock' and 'celebrity' cultures. Currently ploughing though 'The Alphabet of Manliness' by Maddox, lots of material copied from his website, but it's still pretty funny.

Metarie Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Shockingly enough, seeing as I'm now an english graduate, I'm only just reading Jane Erye for the first time. And I love it, which isn't a huge surprise really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
