Thought it would be cool to share some book titles.

I am reading this right now.

Pretty good so far, hard to imagine all the rock and roll heavyweights playin' gigs together. The Who, Jimi. Clapton, The Stones. Pretty insightful.

    I have read both of those, great books. Orwell's "Animal Farm" is really good, Quinn's "The Story of B" is also a good read.

    Ira Berkow's "Summers at Shea." On a baseball kick right now, but I usually go between that and Elmore Leonard. Sadly I only have about 8 more of his books to go...

    Re- reading "Mother night", Vonnegut. "The great and secret show", Barker. Just re-read "The time machine did it", John Swartzwelder (of The Simpsons). And enough comic book titles to curse the art form.

    I have yet to read any Vonnegut, anyone have a recommendation on where to start with his work?

    Nice. Do yourself a favor and don't see the movie. I personally hated it. All the focus was on the drugs and sex and paid little attention to the stories and passion. Beautifully shot but epic fail....imho. Big Sur is looking a little more promising. Anyway, currently reading Collected Letters, 1946-1947:Neal Cassady (surprisingly great).
