What book are you currently reading?

Shock Totem #4

How is that Dayglo Abortions biography? I'm going to have to get that one just on the concept alone. I've always wanted to check out some of Chris Walter's stuff.

Besides reading the Bon Scott bio I am also reading 'Love, Janis' written by her sister Laura Joplin.

Algnernon Blackwood - Tales



Also;



H.P. Lovecraft - Binging on his works. Doing so is leading me to look into his infulences, which is why I've been reading Blackwood.

Steven Tyler - Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?
(now that it is getting past the early days,getting in to Permanent Vacation, I do not want to read the last half ........)

The Idiot - Dostoyevsky

I actually found the 2nd half to be slightly more interesting than the beginning. It just seemed to re-hash stuff I already knew from reading 'Walk This Way'. At least the 2nd half was new-ish info. I'm glad he didn't dwell too long on the American Idol stuff too.

Mein Kampf, unabridged

A buddy of mine was recently reading this and I asked him what he thought of it so far and he said "Dude, Hitler sounds like a fruitcake!" I don't know exactly what he meant by it, didn't ask and have never read it myself, but the way he said it was funny.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Only 20 or so pages in and it is hilarious!

ok, I will read all of it then before I have to give it back

Notice I said slighty more interesting. Overall I found the book a bit of a chore to get through.

Now I'm reading this...



Far more interesting!!

It's a heavy read. He repeats himself all the time.

IF you are not reading the original English translation by James Murphy (1939), then it has been tampered with / edited, and not trustworthy as to what he originally said.
It would be like reading a Martin Luther King speech or book that was edited by a KKK member. Could you then trust its accuracy ?

I'm starting on My Appetite for Destruction by Steven Adler.

Right now Im reading 2 at the same time

Pendragon (book 4 of the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R Lawhead)

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Finished Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Need to seek out the sequels. Douglas Adams is a genius at writing witty, sarcastic comedy!
