    Ham on Rye - Bukowski
    Looking to start reading Bukowski after I finish "Breakfast of Champions." I have this and "Post Office" on my shelf.
    Funny as hell. Just placed a hold for Sifting Through the Madness... at the library.

    I'm about a 1/3 of the way through...it's very interesting so far....a little dry at times, but interesting. The guy that wrote it actually promotes reading the Bible "horizontally" instead of vertically, which makes it very easy to pull out discrepancies...

    Finished up Physics of the Impossible last night. I rather enjoyed it, although Kaku can get off track from time to time.

    Now I'm going to read this, to help psych myself up for the Wrigley show:

    Just finished South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami.

    Now on to The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima:

    The novel chronicles the story of Ryuji, a sailor with vague notions of a special honor awaiting him at sea. He meets a woman called Fusako with whom he falls deeply in love, and he ultimately decides to marry her. Fusako's 13-year-old son, Noboru, is in a band of savage boys who believe in "objectivity", rejecting the adult world as illusory, hypocritical and sentimental.

    As Ryuji begins to draw close to Fusako, a woman of the shore, he is eventually torn away from the dreams he's pursued his entire life. Fusako's son, Noboru, who shares an especially close bond with his mother through a voyeuristic ritual, hates the idea of losing his mother to a man who has let his hope and freedom die. This anger and fear of loneliness translates into terrible, savage acts performed by Noboru and the gang of which he is a part.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Just started Life after Death. He definitely has a way with words.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself
