i read the great gatsby, amoung a couple others of those several years ago. i don't remember it very well, but from what i do remember from it, it seems it was rather fucked up and rather melancholy. maybe i was too young

I can't read more than one book at a time.. although, I usually read a book at once. Depending on the size of course, I didn't read lord of the rings without sleep ;)

I prefer non-fiction these days though. Real life is always more fascinating than fiction. Currently reading "American Terrorist".

I do like fiction though, just haven't found any lately that I've really gotten into. If you could recommend just one novel to me, what would it be?

I can't seem to stick with just one book at a time, I read a chapter of one book then pick up another and another and eventually I finish one and bring another into the rotation.
Right now I've got these books: - Media Control, by Noam Chomsky - The Essays of Warren Buffett - How the Mind Works, by Steven Pinker - Myths to Live by, by Joseph Campbell - Duck Egg Blue, by Derrick Neill

Among the Thugs- Bill Buford (American journalist's vivid account of time spent with English Soccer hooligans)
Security Analysis- Cottle, Murray, Graham (value investor's bible) American Gods - Neil Gaiman (just started, interesting so far. Fiction piece on a small town in the midwest that becomes a battleground for mythic gods of past. So far it reminds me of the Stand by S King.)

what a coincedence.
I was sitting here the other day, having just finished a book, I wanted to REREAD something I had read before but maybe hadnt soaked in enough. I decided to reread Brooks, Flesh and Machines and the complete Hp Lovecraft works. I was even going to ask you if you had any books to recommend further on this. ;)

I like Campbell. If it wasnt for him, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars wouldnt have so many religious undertones. Good stuff.

the comedian bill hicks used to do a routine about how he was in a waffle house in nashville tennessee reading a book and the waitress came up to him and asked:
"what you reading for?" and he replied: "I've been asked 'what am I reading' before, but never 'what am I reading for'. I guess I'm reading so I never become a fucking waffle waitress." I grew up in Nashville, so this bit had particular relevance to me. I'm reading motivational books lately. Two really good ones are: Grow Rich with Peace of Mind - Napoleon Hill Make It Big - Frank McKinney |
