I am nearing the end of Rimbaud & Jim Morrison:The Rebel as Poet which is a fascinating book about the correlation of two amazing poets from vastly different times and places.
Also reading, The Plague by Camus, again. I just cannot get enough of his writing.
Going to start Germinal by Zola, in a day or two. This is the book that Joe Pesci\'s character is reading in "With Honors". Always interested me to see what it was about.
Just finished the Steven King Dark Tower series and also Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club author) After that I went back and started rereading som eof Palahniuks books I already read
I am looking to getting into Tom Robbins soon. I cannot believe I haven\'t read any of his stuff...I even worked in a book store so i had free reign to just take things read them and bring them back and I NEVER thought to grab his stuff..supposed to be genius.
Longitudes and Attitudes : The World in the Age of Terrorism by Thomas L. Friedman

I consider "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" and "Still Life with Woodpecker" life changing books.
IS haunted good? i don\'t think he\'ll ever top survivor.
Longitudes and Attitudes : The World in the Age of Terrorism by Thomas L. Friedman
Was this the guy that was just on the Daily Show talking about this book?? I was hoping to read that.
I have heard "Still Life" is amazing...gotta get some Robbins.
Just read the book of jamaica by russel banks. check out rule of the bone by the same guy. it\'s a much better book.
"Cosmic History Chronicles. Volume 1. The law of time and reformulation of the human mind"

I\'ve read all his books and Haunted was prob my least fav. I liked Survivor (obviously read my signature) but Choke or Diary were better IMO

Friedman may have been on daily show... he does a lot of TV to promote his books and since he\'s the powerhouse of the times op/ed page he gets the bigger shows (ie Daily Show, Imus, etc.). You can have my copy of Longitudes when I\'m done with it if you\'d like.
Robbins is a real craftsman. I heard he works incredibly slow sometimes taking entire days to finish a single page of material. And it shows. In Still Life there\'s a segment where he talks about why man still smokes cigarettes in this modern age of enlightment. Talking about it being a dance with our greatest achievement (fire).
