me = Introduction to the Primates by Daris R Swindler.

Never too sure about someone with a name like Swindler.

Me = Count Zero by William Gibson, Dune by Frank Herbert and the collected short stories of Arthur C. Clarke.

Me - The Confessions of Zeno - Italo Svevo

National Identity by Anthony D Smith ( ISBN-10: 0140125655 and ISBN-13: 978-0140125658)

Me: Neuro-linguistic programming for Dummies.

Soon I'm able to manipulate you guys to send me stuff like gifts and money.

Huh.

I just finished a Stories We Could Tell by Tony Parsons, and am about to read something by Tim Winton, because I miss Australia

Pynchon - Against the Day

yes, still.

Move to Norway and live life happy with me!

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy - brutal and fun.

Yes it is!

I'm currently doing Zombie by Joyce Carol Oats, however I'm doing it very poorly as every time I go to pick it up I realise it's way too late and I'm too drunk.

Sigh

I read one book by this Oats person...feminist gothic claptrap it was.
First Love? Think it was that.

I'm gonna come clean. I'm reading a lots of books at the same time (partially forced by the University of Oslo)

Ferdinand Pessoa - Book of disquiet (?)
Svevo - The confessions of Zeno
Reage - The history of O
Kafka - Letter to the father, Selected Diaries
Walter Benjamin - The artwork in the reproduction age (?)
Gaasland - Fortellerens hemmeligheter \ The authors secrets
Eric Schiller - Standard Chess Openings
Thomas Bernhard - 19 years
Upanishads
Leonard Cohen - Book of longing
Ernst Pawel - Kafka: A life

I need to finish some of the prose.

Just finished Alan Moore's Watchmen, enjoyed it very much, but I find it utterly unfilmable.

does such pigenholing help you justify reading books you didn't like?

Just finished this. Very good. The Judge is a classic character.

Now I am going to choose from:
PD James - The Children Of Men
Margaret Atwood - Oryx and Crake
Nicholson Baker - Mezzanine
Malcolm Lowry - Under The Volcano
Jean Paul Sartre - Nausea

feel free to recommend whatnot

Can't help. Never read any of them.

I'm getting to the point of the semester where I really should stop reading stuff that isn't on the curriculum. But yeah, after a failed Proust attempt, I just started a book that Mitch might currently be reading.

Surrealist Fish Imagery In The Works Of Andrew Bolt?

if you did, you're in for some good shit.

The Multi-Orgasmic Man.

Seriously...

Fuck yes. After reading it I don't feel like I really need to pick up a comic ever again.

I don't have much confidence in the film either - a film of a comic book about comic books? Hmm... - especially by the guy who did 300. Subtlety doesn't appear to be his forte.

I used to enjoy Alan Moore. He bores me dead now.

Is he still publishing? I lost interest in graphic novels ages ago, but Watchmen is regularly coming off the shelf.
