3D computer graphics (3rd ed.), Alan Watt. Were life happier I'd have a new Iain M. Banks book, or, eh, some new Zelazny short stories (just happen to be my most recent decent reading, not necessarily my long time favorites) |

I'm not sure if he's going to confess or not. Do you ever get a feeling of hopeless desperation when you can't manage to get a small sock on your foot? |
||||||||

|
|
you're feet aren't wet, are they? then you're fucked. no, if actually too small I usually just think that the sock is gay. It's funny how much senseless adjectives have entered into my life. |

last of his I read was 'a scanner darkly', the entire duration of which I got up maybe once. I'll get more of his soon. I was never a big fan of the blade runner movie, but reading the book really made me hate it (and no I'm not one of those 'once a book, never a film' bigots). They really ruined the ending and totally removed/hollywood-ized the anticlimactic final battle with the replicants.. |

Currently reading "Secret Water" by Arthur Ransome. Prior to that I read "Chicago: Gem of the Prairie", about Chicago and its underworld up to the time of Capone's incarceration. Next books on my to-read list (I have them on the kitchen table ;) are: Don Quixote by Cervantes, The American Gun Mystery by "Ellery Queen", and An Experiment with Time by J W Dunne. |

I've been a PKD fan for about 12 years - I adore his work -- careful about overdosing -- I once read about 10 of his books in a row, and it left me mentally and emotionally exhausted. Last one of his I read was "The World Jones Made", read that one last month. |

It sounds like you should be reading "How to be a ponce in Six Easy steps" |
||||||||

some dean koontz book. i've been reading almost his stuff exclusively for the past 8 months; got given a whole load of books. great reading. he's simular in style to stephen king, but in many people's opinion (including mine) better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one author for 8 months? and not sick of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all, surprisingly. he varies incredibly with his writing style. |

I've never been able to stand any output by anyone for more than two months (that record was set by music, and most definitely wasn't sole target), and books I rarely read two in a row by the same (these days) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I found Fear and Loathing '72 to be far superior to F&L Las Vegas, which I think is OK, but not great. |

I have many selected book titles I've collected over the years and have yet to read. One of these days I'm going to get back into reading. I just have to set up a pattern/habit. Now I play too many videogames. But amazon.com is excellent as far as locating books/reading reviews. The best writer I've ever come across is richard dawkins (selfish gene). He takes time to choose the most fitting word, regardless of the words popularity and constructs beautiful sentences and controls dizzying concepts with elegance and clear simplicity. "the pattern on the stone" is another favorite, though I havn't solidly read in a while. |

Juggling a few books. I Run, Therefore I am -- Nuts! by Bob Schwartz. This guy isn't as funny as he thinks he is but I keep reading, trying to pick up a few tips. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I'm enjoying this one a whole lot. It's like 1984 but not as depressing. In fact I'm finding it quite humorous. I'm re-reading Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis and I have The Idiot by you-know-who but it looks pretty intimidating, I haven't read past the first page yet. I read that first page at the library before I checked it out. |
