    Just finished Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris. I really enjoyed it, but then the Hannibal Lecter books hae always been fun to read.
    Started Dermaphoria by Craig Clevenger. So far so....interesting, is the only word I guess.

    Does anyone know a good reliable online second hand bookstore that ships internationally?

    I browsed around on amazon.com found two second hand seller who had the books I want (The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell - Aldous Huxley, Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing..., The Rum Diary - HST, The Wind in The Willows - Kenneth Grahame and The Dharma Bums by Kerouac), those sellers were a1books and any_book but I've read some terrible reviews of their service. And I'd have to pay the shipping costs six times, even though it's from the same seller and same place.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    Good good, glad to see some others that dig the books. I really like Lady Murasakis character and the way that her personality and behaviour shape Hannibal.

    Running with Scissors was the first memoir I read that I didn't trust the author was telling the truth. The way the doctor told fortunes almost made me throw up. That is a messed up book. I wouldn't try to stop someone from reading it because so many people liked it, but I wouldn't recommend it either. The time reading that book could be spent reading something where the truth or fiction didn't flow like waves throughout the book.

    AAhhh . I am half way through this book and your synopsis there pretty much sums it up.

    at least it was better than million little pieces, which was the biggest crock of shit i ever read. actually, running with scissors was a bit off the wall, but his memoir (dry) about his drinking problem is probly the best ive read about addiction.

    anyway, im reading the handmaid's tale now. ill finish it this weekend, then it's back to buckling down on the law texts. im halfway right now... ill admit to being kinda disappointed so far.
