Reading anything?

Won this on ebay....



Many of the stories I haven't seen before...such as the HOUND and the MOON BOG.

Tennis Confidental II, by Paul Fein.  It's a little gossipy at times with its behind the scenes tell-alls from the tournament circuit but it's also an interesting read for anyone who likes the sport of tennis.

Kevin Roose's "The Unlikely Disciple," or, how a nineteen-year-old secular Quaker spends a semester at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, and what he learned, when he was there.

The funniest chapter is the one where he's attempting to witness at Daytone, during Spring Break, and all his attempts blow up in his face. I couldn't get beyond each paragraph without going into hysterics.

And yet, there is an undercurrent of sadness there.

Finally finished Red Badge of Courage and now I'm onto Fahrenheit 451.  I'm also reading Air Gear and The Drifting Classroom as well.

This was turned into a movie with Tony Randall called The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao


And of course this book needs no introduction.

Finished Headhunter and now reading Slade's second book, Ghoul. Apparently, Alice Cooper inspired this 1987 thriller, having been a fan of Slade's first book. Just a few chapters in and so far, there's an axe-murderer obsessed with Poe and Lovecraft, a mad bomber, a gang of heroin-dealing gay bikers, a drug dealer/porn king, a heavy metal band called Ghoul, who will no doubt become important, and what looks like the makings of a joint investigation between Scotland Yard and the RCMP. Various people have been buried alive, blown up, shot, stabbed through the eyes, drained of blood and chopped into bits, and one cat has been euthanized. I'll say one thing for Michael Slade, he packs his books.

The Complete Tales of Nicolai Gogol.  He wrote some ghost stories based on Ukrainian folklore, although I'm getting more of an absurd comedy vibe from them than a fear vibe.

the keep, by f paul wilson. i love the idea, even if the delivery is a little workman-like. good for reading in the bath while sipping a beer. i'd love to watch the michael mann adaptation, as i've heard so many mixed things about it.

I'm finally reading Fahrenheit 451 and it is pretty good.  Also, I'm just finishing up all the volumes of Case Closed I have so I'll be moving onto Uzumaki or Pluto to read next.

Fahrenheit 451 is a great book. It was one of the staples of the English curriculum when I was in high school. Read a few really good books back then - Fahrenheit 451, Lord of the Flies, The Ox-Bow Incident, In the Heat of the Night, among others.

It is one of the books I have to read for High school as well. 

My French class has just issued us to read Le Petit Prince.  It's good, but I have to translate most of the text to figure it out.

the book of 5 rings.

Right now Im reading Beowulf. I also tried reading Paradise Lost but its old english writting is almost impossible for me to figure out, maybe its the version I bought anyone know a good easy translation of this poem. After Beowulf I think im going to start reading the Dune series.Im finding my self reading more lately because tv sucks.

I'm readin "Introducing Marx"  from the  introducingbooks series.  I am ideologically the polar opposite of a marxist but I was curious about what it actually was.  The book is cartoons!  so it's easy to read and learn.  marxism is like if yuo took someone who never had a job and had no idea how the world worked and gave them the task of laying the rules for an economy and a country.  It's easy to see why it's reaked havoc over so much of the world.

Re-reading the Wild Cards books.  Not going to read much beyond book 4 or 5 (I forget which one starts to seriously suck, but I'm going to stop at that one).   Almost a pulp scifi feel -- had forgotten how much fun these stories are.  Particularly the stories about the Turtle.
