I'm urrently reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Loving it so far. I'm not that far through it but it's well different from Blade Runner (as expected).

I look forward to living in a society where everyones greatest aspiration is to own a fake owl. All pkd's books that were made into movies suffer in translation, but damn, ALL of his books should be made into movies. Michel Gondry is supposed to be filming Ubik, but still no sign of it. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldridch should be made into a film by Terry Gilliam.

Haha I was just going to recommend The Three Stigmata, it's probably my favourite of his books. Yes a Gilliam adaptation could be amazing!

Still 'trying' to read Ash but started - 'Wool' the other day and already half way through it. I know its part one of about twelvty books but I don't care (there is no rush).

I've just finished reading the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. Definitely been a series I couldn't put down! Not sure what to read next, I've got War and Peace tucked away somewhere, but I don't really have any enthusiasm to start it; the classics never really grab me!

As She's Told. It's a book about a Master and Sub/pet. Great BDSM book

Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre

 

[eclipsedesign]

Caught between:

and a rather epic space opera in the form of:

The later is a rather good read if you're into authors such as Iain M Banks etc. Pilger as always is on good form.

Currently reading Game of Thrones 2: A Clash of Kings (finally decided to go back to it now that the TV series is off for a while) & Respect In A World of Inequality by Richard Sennett (I have no fucking clue why I'm reading what appears to be a sociology book but it looked interesting).

 

[GodSpeedK]

Having finished this recently...Which was amazing.

I'm now in fantasy mode. Very nerdy, but it's definitely an epic saga of incredible imagination.

Sorry to keep re-posting, but keep forgetting things! My all time favourite book has to be Marching Powder however. it is so interesting and would recommend it to anyone. even recommended it to my mother, who absolutely loved it. just fascinating, funny, sad at times, just an enthralling read.

Had a longish train journey to make this weekend and took this with me, definitely worth a read. I do wonder if the truth was embellished a tad at times but it's still definitely worth a look if anyone else hasn't read it yet.

The Great Gatsby. Has been on the list for ages but now I have to read it, as I want have read it before I watch the film

Been going through it on and off, Really good book


An Alphabet of Good Health in a Sick World [Paperback]
MD MD(H) Martha M. Grout (Author), Mary Budinger (Author)

Book Description
Publication Date: October 1, 2010
Want to feel better? Been to a dozen doctors and still have no answer? Look no further. Discover why illness is really your friend. Realize that illness is your body’s cry for help, your best effort at telling yourself that something is very wrong. Looking at your body as the enemy and treating it with brute force is the conventional way to treat. But, if you are open to it, there is another way. Healthy food and healthy environments beget health for the body, no matter what the genetics suggest. We call this paradigm “Green Medicine”. Treat the whole body, not just the part that is currently screaming. And recognize that illness occurs for reasons that may have global implications.

Slightly slow getting started but I'm now half way in and hooked. Definitely worth reading.

This makes me sad.

Justin fucking Bieber for fucks sake.

I never finished Crime and Punishment, won't say it's the best book ever, mostly cos I never finished it, but it did a damn good job of inspiring a crushing feeling of dread and despair. I need to find my copy. Not read much Russian-y stuff myself, got all the standards because I have a horrible habit of collecting books but not reading them. Ooh I did just start Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov tho, which I'm quite enjoying. Was part of my Modern Comic Novel class but I ended up intercalating and so am just getting round to reading the ones that were part of that class. T'other one is one I can't actually remember the name of, but it's by a Czech guy, I think, and details the life of a young lad working in a hotel.

Not a Russian book, but set in Stalin's Russia, and a real must read. A KGB agent starts to investigate murders in a country were murder is denied, and soon realises how corrupt the country really is, and ends up on the run.

 

[Doody OD]

Just started on Romeo and Juliet again, I'm a Shakespeare fan, but this is my all time favourite read/show/film.
