G/f's mother died of GBM 4 brain tumour. Rapid descent to death (2 months) included her stopping registering anything on the left hand side - this applied to everything. She could have a plate of food and eat it completely divided in half, left half untouched. Nothing existed on the left hand side even if she knew (from sound) that it was there - you had to go on her right to talk to her. Twas very strange.
 
1 teach your self HINDI by Rupert snail
2 Spiritual emregency by Stan and Kristina Grof
 
I couldn't sleep last night, so I finally finished reading Fight Club before turning the light out. And I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So, I decided it's high time I started reading more again. I need to set those braincells in motion again. So, after I finished work today, I popped into my local book shop, and got myself a copy of Choke.

First chapter demolished. I really do like the way Palahniuk looks at life in general. He has a way of making you question yourself about certain things, which I enjoy.
 
I'm reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bryson, making me all sciencey n clever :)
 
Read Choke a couple of years ago and thought it was pretty great, though not as incredibly disturbing as everyone had told me it was. Haven't read anything else by Palahniuk though, possibly I should.

At the moment I'm reading Child C, it's sort of hard to read without getting angry, was surprised how young the guy who wrote it is. Think he's maybe 19 now, he has a shockingly good sense of humour about the whole thing which is good, I guess.
 
Atomised by Michel Houellebecq

Really fucking good, I've just not spent enough time reading it as my bed side lamp is broken and I cannae be arsed to get up to the light switch every night after I've wound down from a good read
 
Palahniak - I've only read Haunted (bewarned - that wiki link contains a few spolieresque bits - stop reading when it gets to the character breakdown, I would say). It was twisted as hell and therefore excellent :).

I shall also be reading any more of his stuff that turns up at the local charity shop :).

I am currently reading... nothing actually, but will be starting on Valley of the Dolls soonest - thanks, tribal :D.
 
Sea of Poppies - Amitav Ghosh. About a 1/3 of the way through - an absolutely cracking read so far!

A fictional book about opium big business in India (by British establishment), flogging to the Chinese!

I love them. Only if they're true though. I'm reading one just now about the French Resistance called 'The Next Moon'. It's a good read.

I like history books about the war but not books written by soliders and such like.
 
James Lee Burke- Swan Peak

"Got the girl with the Dragon tattoo" to read next
 
I've not read it.. and don't really fancy it.

Been trying my best to get through Naked Lunch, W Burroughs - I loved the film and have seen it several times, but can't quite get into the book.

Anyone read Junky?
