Finally finished Zola's La Bete Humaine and now winding up Carols Castaneda's The Teachings og Don Juan. Got me cruising around looking for a cactus shop, can't wait 5 years for a Peyote to grow from seed.

Mrs Shambles has promised to lend me his books after we recently had the traditional "Hippy God or Cult-leader, Bullshit Artist and Murderous Scumfuck?" debate. Which I "won" naturally ;)

I've not actually read any of his stuff what with him being an insufferable arse and all that - it's hardly stopped me from reading other moron's output, though :D - but is it actually any good once you get past the swathes of bullshit is the question I still have... Suppose I'll find out soon enough :)

Zola is on my "To Read" list but have yet to cross paths with any of his work. From the little I've gathered, he seems like my kinda chap though :)
 
Stephen King - Blackhouse

2nd Part with the original "The Talisman". Pretty awesome books.
 
George Pelecanos : The Night Gardener
He made it whilst taking a break from The Wire and I have noticed little bits in the book that turn up in the last season...
Gonna start back at the beginning with his books as its nearly 5 years since I read any of them...apart from The Sweet Forever which I own:)
In general fuck buying books brand new when the library has everything or sells them off for 10p a book:D
 
^ i love it to, I've it read more than a dozen times. I have naked lunch, which i have not read. How isit if you have it?
 
Naked Lunch is amazing, can be a bit of a challenging read (cut and paste stylings and all) but it's gloriously hideous :D
 
In a bit of a Baader-meinhof phase at the mo so i'm reading:

Projectiles for the people: A documentary history of the Red Army Faction

and

"Everyone talks about the weather...we don't": The writings of Ulrike Meinhof

and

"Remembering the armed struggle" Margrit Schiller.

Have read Teachings of Don Juan several times and found it to be a truly magical read.

Surprised to hear of Castaneda being a possible Bullshit Artist? In the boook he comes across as humble and naieve, and as someone who wasn't really prepared to for the meticulous and ritualistic preparations that Don Juan follows as he seeks to encounter Mescalito.

Great book highly recommended.=D
 
Holy shit....that was so fucked up......

very interesting and an excellent link, thank you.

fuck!
 
Gotta recommend Tuesday's War(Tuesdays child) Davis Fiddimore

Second world war stuff and the first of a trilogy.

Or 'Night song of the last tram' by Robert Douglas.

A good wee Glasgow story that will have you bubbling like a wee girl, and funny to boot.
 
Just finished Junky, time for naked lunch. Im going to ibiza on saturday though lol maybe read it when im not partying.
