Zing. 
I'm about to start reading Infernal Devices, the sequel to Phillip Reeve's previous "young adult" novels Mortal Engines and Predator's Gold. At 17 I'm probably too old for them by now, but what else are you supposed to do when you read a great book when you're 13, and find out there were sequels later on? |

Today I just finished Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr.
Now I'm reading Dostoyevsky: His Life and Work by Ronald Hingley. What lured me to this book was reading somewhere that Selby was similar to Dostoyevsky....I guess we'll see.

BK - what'd you think of Last Exit? I started reading it a while back but couldn't get through it.

midway into "Jack Kerouac - Windblown World, The Journals Of Jack Kerouac 1947 - 1954" Edited by Douglas Brinkley.
and
"The 120 Days of Sodom & Other Writings" Marquis De Sade
oh why was i born so late? why do i always fall for writers?? rogues and cads, all of them. good for a mindfuck
Kerouac is an effortless genius with a pen. i hate him with passion and envy, but i love him with passion and envy as well. we'd have made a good couple.
De Sade is sexy...
Both make for good night time reading, depending on my mood.
Both are highly recommended. |
