Is it your first reading of Fear & Loathing? I would give a sizeable chunk of cash to read that as the 'first time' again. (Would help to be 18 again too I guess...) Fuck, I read that book in a day and re-read it again the next day. LOVED it.
Let us know what you thought of Enter Night, if it is good I would like to read it.
A Game of Thrones is awesome. You will want to go right into the 2nd book after the first. Doesnt matter if you like that sort of thing or not, it has everything in it and the character development is top flight. Enjoy![/quote]
Yeah you should definitely try to stay with Game of Thrones as long as you can. There are so many characters and places that it is hard to remember everything if you wait too long to go back, but you also run the risk of burning out. I did that a couple of times and had to take a break. I'm on the fifth book right now and a bit stalled, but hoping it will get going soon. The second and third book are fantastic. The third is one of the best books I've ever read.
Just finished Chuck Hogan's "Devils in Exile"... just started Michael Connelly's "The Closers", fly through his books, tackling his books in order... waiting on starting Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan's "The Fall" until I get "The Night Eternal"... figuring I'm gonna want to run through the last two back to back.
70 pages into a political thriller by Vince Flynn called "Term Limits"

I know I'm a bit behind on this, but I'm currently reading Pearl Jam Twenty.
Don't worry, I haven't read it yet either.

pasting a picture is a good idea . this is a very readable book....and pretty sad, so far.

Finished Michael Connolly's "The Closers" last night and started in on Paul Cleave's "Collecting Cooper".
I wish Cleave had a US distribution for his previous releases. I recommend his "Blood Men", it's a good read, not a typical detective novel. Also I would recommend reading "Cemetery Lake" prior to "Collecting Cooper", they are a series so far.
Finished Robopocalypse by Daniel Wilson, good multi-thread story-telling. At first I was put off by the time shift/lookback, but in the end, thoroughly enjoying read.
Then shifted gears, Botchan by Natsume Sōseki (1906), a Japanese classic. A very good read! Literally read it cover-to-cover on the trip to Vancouver and back!
Just started Blackout by Connie Willis. I like her in short story format, haven't clicked with many of her novels -- but saw this touted at Elliot Bay during Seattle EV shows. Whoa! Very engaging, with baseball over, nice to have something to look forward to for night-time wind down!
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Finished that one.....a engrossing read indeed.....now reading "El Borak and Other Desert Adventures" by Robert E. Howard....the creator of Conan
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
just finished reading it. that guy almost died so many times, really good read. Say whatever you want about GN'R, but I loved them, and they were the first real band I was introduced to.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Once you get into it, it's a quicker read than you think. I think I finished it in like 2 weeks!
So far it is a great read. I started it yesterday afternoon and I am already on page 74.

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Hilarious thus far.
Next in queue:
Actually, the book speaks to you! High tech shit...
it is flat out amazing....like 24 the TV show but better
just finished reading it. that guy almost died so many times, really good read. Say whatever you want about GN'R, but I loved them, and they were the first real band I was introduced to.
