    the catcher in the rye

    My favorite book! I've read it so many times and now I feel like reading it again.. however..

    I just bought 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter', by Jeff Lindsay (the first book that prompted the hit show on Showtime). And 'Shanks for Nothing', by Rick Reilly, a sequel to his hilarious golf epic 'Missing Links'... Not sure which to read first :/

    ah I've heard of that, I'm a big fan of : Paris 1919, Vintage Violence, Hobosapiens. Dont really know much about him though, other than he's welsh(no problem with that). Always much preferred his music over that of Lou Reed but Cale seems to not have much popularity in england.

    well screw the english, what would they know? they thought sending people to australia was punishment, so theyre hardly good judges of anything imo. LMAO!! :D:D

    oh do read whats welsh for zen? if you can. tis so worth the effort. he certainly enlightened me about lou reed that's for sure.

    No I don't think it is in print anymore. I have copies of both and I think I have read both but that was years ago so... :confused:

    I quite enjoy the the Dark Tower series but I haven't read the whole thing yet...

    Charlaine Harris. I picked up a book that someone I volunteer with was reading and I loved it. They are really light reading but fun. It's a "Southern Vampire Series". The main character is telepathic and there are vampires, werewolves and all kinds of other fun characters. I am hooked, they are very fun! She has 2 or 3 other series, evidently very prolific. I love discovering new authors that are easy reading for times I just want to lose myself. :)

    Just started reading "A People's History of the United States". I've never read any of Zinn's work, so I'm interested to check it out.
