Social What are you currently reading?

Just received the last book to finish my collection of my favourite poet, Liam Rector, The Sorrow of Architecture.

I bought it second hand and received a pre-sale copy intended for a reviewer, it even has the reviewer's notes pencilled in!

Philosophia Reformata - J.D. Mylius

in conjunction with

The Alchemical Imagination - Jung
 
I'm reading Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe.

I'm a big fan of his romantic, richly elaborate and imaginative style.

I'd go as far as to say he is re-igniting my love of reading. Very happy i've found it.
 
Neuromancer by William Gibson, first time I've read it past the first sentence:

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a deal channel." - I Love that.

^ that book is seriously awesome. the rest of the sprawl trilogy is good too.
the next trilogy he wrote is decent (how was it called? bridge or something?) but wheras the sprawl trilogy starts with the strongest book, the latter ends with it (all tomorrow's parties).
 
The Plague - Camus
My Education & Interzone - Burroughs
Beyond Good and Evil - Neitsche
Atlantis,Alien Visitation,and Genetic Manipulation: Michael Tsarion

A shit ton of audio lectures from the burroughs archive, the alan watts archives, and Sitchins "The Twelth Planet" Also.

i enjoyed the plague, extremely well written imo.

beyond good and evil i have tried to start on three separate occasions and ended up sucking bongs instead.

hey thou have you read the curse of lono?

just finished the old man and the sea by Hemmingway, couldnt put it down, timeless
 
still putting off the Anatomy Of Melancholy, but bought today and am already half way through The Song Of Roland, translated by Dorthy L. Sayers. i am reading through it kind of fast, but there is a pace it seems that asks for it.

there are also a lot of good notes on each page that i will read at times on their own.
 
^ i only read the first book in the reacher series (can't even remember its name) and thought it was horrible. do they get better?

rereading john niven's kill your friends, which is one of the funniest books i ever read.
 
yeah i don't know why the name seems so tricky to americans. and their pronounciation is even worse. makes my skin crawl.
 
Haha Yanks and Nazis Germs the world would be better off without you both! Take your wars and fuck off!!

Greetings from Earth. Peace

What you and I like are probably totally differing, I enjoyed all of them, so I doubt you'd find them 'getting any better' so to speak. It's like movies as well I guess, not everyone's the same (thankfully).

Killing floor was 1st I think.. You probably don't enjoy James Patterson books either I'd imagine?
 
"Confessions of an English Opium Eater" by Thomas De Quincey.
Actually came upon it via a post here on blue light in another forum! I have a nook and got the free version of the book, and I have noticed that it's very chopped up and there are parts of the story missing.:( The first half is rather difficult to get through, but it's getting much more interesting. Anyone here heard of or read this? What did you think?

PS, I'm glad to be here. This is the first time I have ventured over here... Usually I don't go anywhere aside from "other drugs", But I had to come check out this area... How cool it is here!!

ah yes killing floor. never read james patterson, i usually really enjoy hard-boiled crime fiction, i thought that the premise of the story was just ridiculous (the whole dead brother thing) and the writing was subpar. never bothered with lee child after that.

one day, me and my nazi brethren will come marching into your house.
 
Recently loaned out Jack London's 'Sea-Wolf', very very cool. Only Jack London I've read before this was White Fang and that was a beautiful story. He actually manages to describe the life of a wolf in the first person and make it un-put-downable.

Want to read Martin Eden but can't find it anywhere :(
