    Finished The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula LeGuin the other day. Immediately started re-reading it cuz I didn't have a good handle on the changes in narration and the characters and places in the beginning. That said I do understand why it is considered such an exceptional work and I wish I would've read it in paperback (instead of epub) the first time.

    Right now I'm reading "Afterdark" from Haruki Murakami. I haven't read much, but I like it so far. I like how different Japanese and Chinese literature is compared to European or American.

    Is any of you on goodreads.com?

    Burnt Tongues – by Chuck Palahniuk (Editor), Richard Thomas (Editor), Dennis Widmyer (Editor)

    It's a collection of transgressive fiction short stories, so far a good read.

    Also just finished Life After God by Douglas Coupland, and I really enjoyed it.

    I'm reading "Who I Am". The autobiography about Pete Townshend.
    I didn't know (or I forgot) that he encouraged Ed to not quit. When they met in the early 90ies Ed wanted to quit Pearl Jam and just go back surfing the whole day, because he couldn't deal with all the fame. Pete told him his philosophy: it's not him who choses a carreer as a musician. It's the people who chose him to success.

    I tried that 3 different times over a number of years and it wouldn't take. Disappointing as I have been told by many how much they love the trilogy. Hope you like it!

    The writer's style on the last book (as far as ease of reading, not content) reminded me of Chucky P...and I have 2 in my pile from him that I have not read yet...so I grabbed this one to read next:

    I'm reading this great book (I think it's out of print, I got it used on Amazon) about the Moscone/Milk shootings in San Francisco. It's really good. Double Play by Mike Weiss.
