    First book of the Guido Brunetti series by Donna Leon - Death at La Fenice 
    I finished the second volume in the series. Pretty intense at the end. I don't have #3, but I started #4.

    Tom Petty fans, this one is a must.  Only have had time for a few chapters but loving it already:


    And here is what could be considered Zane's postscript or  last chapter for that book:

    The idea is....eating meat is not inherently wrong, but the way we treat the animals we raise for food is horrible.
    I eat meat, but am working it out of my diet. 
    Meat eaters should read even if it doesn't change your mind.



    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    I just finished reading Kim Gordon's Girl In a Band and Danny Goldberg's Serving the Servant. Both great reads.

    Has anyone read any Philip K. Dick or Nietzsche? I am interested in giving books by these authors a go.
    I found a copy of The Antichrist by Nietzsche on a university website and will give that a go. I read the wikipedia page about it and it interests me. 
    I've been listening to Sister by Sonic Youth and read that the album was based loosely on the works of Philip K. Dick.
    He has so many titles I don't know what I'd like. Counter-clock world seems interesting. 
    Any recommendations?

    Sean and David's Long Drive.

    I would say it's like that movie Sideways.

    Hands down funniest book. Sean Condon use to write books and he's such a smart ass and has a very good sense of humor. Hes Australian but lives in Amsterdam now with his wife and daughter. I would say a mix between Larry David and Anthony bourdain sense of humor.

    I rarely re-read books ("so many books, so little time"), but this one is proving to be WELL worth the second go-around!  One of my favorites from Henry:
