So subverts what have you been reading recently?

Gibson wiring schematics.

Just finished 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson.
Some cool stuff to read but also a lot of boring parts...
Now reading Dune.

dune is one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written u will undoubtably enjoy it howver be warned that some of the latter books in the series are a bit crappy, well thats my personal opinion anyway, but dune, dune is grrrrrrreat!

brilliant

just finished "a people's history of the united states" - howard zinn. pretty well-known, got repetitive after a while (seems like every paragraph ends with "police were called in, 12 workers were killed, 45 injured") but still a nice infrared light on the US' history.

just found some $2 book at a flea-market here... "living things and you", super general and accessible look into all the interlocked biological and environmental processes that make up the earth. it's awesome, maybe because i don't know shit about any of that stuff.

also re-re-re-re-re-re-attempting "nausea" (sartre). i've been trying to read it about once a week for the last six months and it's like reading scart ridge posts. i'll read up to the last page i made, then get through about 5 more pages, then want to punch a wall, then i'll do something else. my first stab at existentialism in literary history seems tiresome as fuck.

chopin biography, again from boredom. good stuff, he was a neat dude.

i need some new shit to read! no loot to buy shit online, nothing but baptist/christian/god/jesus/sinners-burn shit around here in searcy county, arkansas.... looking forward to visit to the one "artsy" city this weekend so i can hopefully pick up some new readin's.

sartre is boring as shit

his only worthwhile claim to fame is as simone de beauvoir's bloke

most people see it the other way round, but it's true.

sartre is boring as shit

edit: currently reading ernst jünger's 'on the marble cliffs'. excellent book, and the author himself is probably the incarnation of superman of the 20th century. i might write more when i have the time

half way thru dermaphoria by craig clevenger, it's not really making much sense at the moment but i guess thats the point

got given the koran for my phone

Really enjoyed them all.

I'm about halfway through The Silmarillion by Tolkien. Great stuff!

'haunted' by chuck palahniuk. im a big fan of his others esp his 1st 4 or 5. this seems promising so far - as usual, it takes a while to get into it
