    currently re-reading The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster.
    I read it a few years ago and it blew me away. Enough time has gone bythat I've forgotten a lot of it which is great. Really enjoying it now.

    what was Fear and Loathing (the movie) about? Mostly Hunter's daily life?

    If you're asking about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it was a movie based on his book of the same title. I would definitely suggest reading the book if you were considering either, the movie is a bit crazy, so it helps to have the book in the back of your mind as you're watching. I love both, very entertaining.
    i've been in my mind, it's such a fine line...

    Ooooh, this is a good thread for finding new reading material :D

    I'm reading Middlemarch by George Elliott and The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie. I've always got at least two on the go at once because I read whatever I'm in the mood for.

    How is the Rushdie? I've only read The Satanic Verses and thought it was terrific. Should read Midnight's Children one day.

    No I bought the one without the DVD. I don't care about collecting, I just want to read the stories.

    i want to read the stories too, but with king novels (and short story collections), i want them all in hardcover and in perfect condition. i normally won't read hardcover books, i usually wait for the paperback to come out. but if i pick up another collectors edition, i'll be able to crack one of them open. i'm really curious about the dvd and was just wondering if you got one and watched it.

    I think you can watch N. on itunes. I was going to do that after I read the story so it wouldn't be ruined.

    i just finished Sam Bourne's - The Final Reckoning which i enjoyed.

    i'm now on to The Adventures of Huck Finn... got it for £1 a while back and always wanted to read it :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Unbelievably, I've never read Rushdie before (always on my vast 'to read' list) but I certainly will now. This new one is wonderful - it's beautifully written and has a similar magical/surreal feeling to 100 Years of Solitude. I'm not very far in (p. 60 or so) but I'm loving it so far.

    Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty

    I hate the Dallas Cowboys but this book is just fascinating. There are so many guys I'll never be able to look at the same way again when watching highlights of football in the 90's. The chapter on Charles Haley is insane.
