I might need to check this out.

I am almost done with Game Change, and deep enough into The Death of The President 1963 to probably finish that as well.

Yeah, its overall a good read and I think you'd like it--it's pretty light reading as well which is fine by me since next up in my pile to read is another Halberstam monstrosity...

Just picked this up. Should be starting soon.

Also, gonna read this in the near future since I found it:



Bloor, you read this?

I started it but didn't finish for some reason. It may be terrible and it may be ok but I honestly can't remember. Its still on a bookshelf here somewhere.

It's good. Ralph gives a straight man account of his and Hunter's adventures. It gives some good insight into the man. Unfortunately Ralph Steadman is a much better artist than writer, so only fans of Hunter need read it.

Translation - like all HST cash ins, its unreadable, rehashes with zero new revelations.

Well, based on what all you guys are saying, I'm glad I found it for $1 at a closeout bookstore.

I've been stuck on Moby Dick forever. I never liked Melville and this one isn't much better so far.

The 33 1/3 series book on 'Paul's Boutique'.

Why don't I get it started?

Just started this, for the first time ever:

I need to read this, and has been on my pile for a year. Also, considering the toaster thread, this is pretty funny.

Me:

Started but put down (will return to)



Was looking for something lighter for beach reading and picked up



it had some decent writing in parts but overall i don't recommend. it certainly filled the light easy beach reading need though.

will finish tonight:



debating whether to resume under the volcano next or jump into one of these:

I was reading two old 'friends'. A book of Orwell's journalism and 'Uncle Dynamite' by P. G. Wodehouse.

However I agreed to read the draft of a novel a friend of mine (actual) is writing so that's my book right now. I wish I'd asked how long it was before agreeing....

Hey modem



The search function works.

Edit: Actually, I just merged the two threads. Mod powers activate!

Moby Dick put me off novels for about 4 years.

Have you heard "The Gonzo Tapes"? I didn't even know they were out but saw them at a record store the other day. I listened to a couple excerpts on Amazon, probably be fun to listen to. I might pick them up.

Dear god, that looks hideous/awesome. If you decide to buy it, ysiplzthx.

Fucking HST Estate is right up there with the Grateful Dead and the Tupac people in terms of constantly putting "fresh" product on the street.

Incidentally I'm still reading this though I've taken the last several days off--I have to admit, the war in the former Yugoslavia (the subject of most of this book) is almost too fucking depressing for words.

jesus I need to learn how/when to read. Just finished this:
and it took months. Next up was that Klosterman book, but it's been so long since I bought it that I'm not really interested anymore.
