What are you robots reading right now? (Page 3 of 28)

Well it's not the most easy book to read. The writing style is nonlinear and the subjects - or more - how they are told are not for the easily offended.

But behind all that, lies a masterpiece. If you want a little challenge, that is.

I'm actually going through the Content Management System of my website. 101101001 stuff etc

i love that book. my favourite book of his is 'cities of the red night' though. junkie is also cool - but pretty mental.

i also read some books about drug addicts, but not one by burroughs' yet. probably i should?

but most probably the very best within this topic i read was "iced" by ray shell. written very snatchy and as a diary of a crackhead, it tells the tragic story of a young black guy with a promising future, who fell deep and deeper into his crack addiction till his life is nothing else than grim. he starts to write things, his thoughts down, cause he belives he has to before everything is gone and forgotten. its not allways easy to read and follow, but this book was truly harrowing and also profound and the most compelling. for everybot whos interessted in books like this, i strongly recommend.

atm im reading "qualitative choice analysis" by kenneth train, and i do hate it. mostly because i still dont understand that much, but have to. ah well,..

zora, if you are into books about drug addicts you should check out the herbert hunke reader. some very interesting and odd tales : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Huncke

discon, its a story from anais nin called Mathilde

now reading kerouac 'on the road'

finished "Mediated" by Thomas de Zengonita. Interesting book in a loose stream of consciousness style about how the media cultivates our narcissism and the "flattered self". At times hard to follow his train of thought. Skip the chapter on George Bush while you're at it

Reading The Shining now. Hasn't scared me yet although I've seen the movie about 20 times

Things I didnt now - Robert Hughes, an autobiography by the art critic

I just read this short story. A nice little piece of sadness. Real good. Try it.

@Discontinues - Life of Pi is superb I enjoyed it much more than Murakami. I read Dance Dance Dance and WUBC and kinda enjoyed them but I found them ultimately unsatisfying. It felt tike I'd missed something important at then end. Maybe i am too stupid.

@Bankie - I was just thinking about the House of Leaves - great book. I still love the subtle changes in dimensions of the house in the Navidson Record. Chilling stuff!

For now I am reading the Illustrated Brief History of Time. It it is pretty good so far, although has the tendency to send me to sleep..
