what are you reading today?

I just finished reading The Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night-Time. This mpve; is stylistically unique; I haven't read a book that is as animated as this novel. The novel follows a first person narrative of an autistic child who tries to solve a murder of a dog, in the process discovering something that is much more that he could handle. Much more than he could handle, I mean that literally. Being an autistic child he cannot comprehend with some of life's challenges, which causes him to misconstrue the things that he learns in his search. The author presents this through some very amazing style of writing. I would reccomend this book for anyone who wants to read some modernism.

Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk?

Naked Lunch......again.

DD If you ever have the opportunity, you should dl Naked Lunch onto your ipod or whatever (CD). Burroughs himself does the reading. I went on a road trip from Michigan to Colorado listening to that shit, tripped me fuck out (in a good way).

[Minkous]

Yes i am very much a Chomsky fan! i'm on my third book so far this month.... i think he's amazing, and yourself?

[tweeds]

well i've got a few of his books but have never been compelled to read beyond snippets of his pieces, unfortunately. but what little i have read has been very thought-provoking. care to detail a slightly more extensive list of recent reads?

[cyberPUNK]

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn

great book, though obviously biased.

[Minkous]

Haven't read this yet - waiting for it release in paperback first. I'll read it, but I won't expect to be impressed at all - not even to think that it was good. His books are all very similar.. the first couple I read were ok, then after a while it suddenly seemed like I was watching Austin Powers, then Austin Powers 2, then Austin Powers 3...

[Larry Bird]

the soft machine+william s burroughs.

the only book i really loved from him was junky, which is my all time favorite...naked lunch is ok...but all the rest...i cant get into em...

free book so ima try and read thru it.

[superBobo]

speaking of Murakami.. which are his "best ones"? Ive read Wild Sheep Chase, Dance dance dance and kafka on the shore, all which I enjoyed a lot, especially the 2 last mentioned. Where do I go from here?

[Scais]

I agree with feather - read Wind-Up Bird next - then maybe go onto Hardboiled Wonderland. I am going to read Norwegian Wood while camping this week.
