    i finished the klosterman book last night and have since started reading love goes to buildings on fire: five years in new york that changed music forever by will hermes.

    Damn :D Another one to add to the wishlist it seems! You seem to have an interesting taste in books ;)

    I am definitely not doing as much reading as I'd like, but I have been pleasantly surprised quite recently by several works (Zerostrata; Fuckness) by Andersen Prunty. Do check him out on the off chance you haven't already :)

    Well do check him out, although you might want to browse the other titles first, since the ones I read might not even be his best work by far. ..

    Started The Priest by Gerard O'Donovan

    Funny thing about this one has nothing to do with the story... I was wondering why was getting all these ads to join seminary schools and prayer groups at the bottom of pages recently... then I realized it had to due to my cookies when I checked this book out... Um, the online ads missed the point on this one since it is about a serial killer known as the Priest.... Ah, life's simple pleasures that make me smile... :)

    Finished Zone One by Colson Whitehead a week or so ago. The last section of that book is really amazing -- just perfect execution in which the author absolutely kills it.

    Now reading The Catcher Was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg by Nicholas Dawidoff, which is interesting so far.

    Finished The Priest by Gerard O'Donovan... Great debut book for what is supposed to turn into a series. His 2nd Dublin Dead is on my list of books to buy.

    Now starting another series... this time Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander series. I'm hoping Faceless Killers is a good read, I'm almost up to date on Michael Connelly's books so I need something to take his place!
