so.. what are you reading?

[Annastefka]

Well, you know that time once when you wrote to me and said you felt a little guilty…and I said "what, you must be kidding"
Well, after that post…I felt the same way…that was a little over the top. The raw food thing I would suggest for anyone over 40….I’ve had my years of pizza and cheesecake….it gives you so much energy and you just smell sweeter and such. I have to say however…my kids have really never listened to the ying-yang twins….I was in South Carolina last weekend and I stopped for directions and a fellow told me…you need to go up ’bout twenty-11 blocks…and when I told another friend about it…he said…oh, that’s sounds like the ying-yang twins…fifty-11 times thing. So I checked it out…pretty funny. We are here at home having the most wonderful Friday night. OH, BTW….I saw Sweeney (our Freakscene Sweeney) play music on Valentines Day, I ran into Sweeney and he told me that he was playing music with a fellow from Savannah, Georgia on Valentines Day. The guys name was Dare Dukes…and I really liked his music. Anyway this evening…Dare was on a local radio show called "The Georgia Gazette" and I’m putting up a link if anyone wants to hear the show. It’s a little bit of a Dinosaur Jr. connection.

When you get your bar up…. fast forward to past the half-way point, after the basketball piece and after the weekly riddle….they you will find the Dare Dukes piece….he’s a really good singer/songwriter…a really neat person. We bought his CD called "Prettiest Transmitter of All" and it’s great to listen to early in the AM.

I recently started reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and might I say that I already love it. Even though I’m only into it a 100+ pages and it consists of 2,945,007 pages.

That’ll be quite an afternoon….

I’m having a bit of a Vonnegut month.
Just read Mother Night and Timequake, and made a start on Hocus Pocu last night

One of my favorite authors of all time. The world misses you Mr. Vonnegut.

Where The Wild Things Are. I found this last night when I was trying to remember where I had placed some old photo albums.
Probably the best book ever.

A book about The Troggs could be called that

[girl]

Oh SG!

Where the Wild Things Are is an amazing children’s book. Naughty Max, did he tell his mother he would eat her up and was that why he was sent to bed? I also loved Alexander and the No Good Very Bad Day because sometimes as a kid I wanted to move to Australia too.

Max was running around in his wolf costume, chasing the dog with a fork, growling and doing mischief.

Oh no, why have I never heard of this book with such a fantastic title ?!

It really is a brilliant book too. When you have kids you should get them this book and read it to them at night.

[Robert]

Can I borrow it from you ?

[girl]

I’m pretty sure the copy I had disintergrated from me reading it too much.

[Yeah Right]

Naked Lunch is not what I would recommend for your 1st Burroughs experience… Junky is another good one

Junky is ace… I got Naked Lunch but I haven’t started reading it yet, keep thinking of Old Bull Lee hacking and it puts me off for some reason.

just got "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk from the library, it’s great so far.

I got Haunted by Palahniuk and stopped reading halfway through. When I think of it it makes me feel sick. *I think he’s a good writer, that book’s just… harsh*

I’m reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being, a Bukowski collection called The Most Beautiful Woman in Town and Batman: Hush (does that count?)

All good.

[essgee09]

Batman counts
