IceCream -are you reading it front to back? Which version?
I'm thinking of reading the Nag Hammadi soon. Has anyone read this?

Classic King James version. And yes, I'm trying to go from Genesis to Revelation. |

I like Genesis very much.
I keep feeling like people are just looking at screens and web sites all the time, but do they ever do anything? Or go out and say anything to anyone? I'm not so sure anymore. |

Whether you are a believer or not "Revelations" is pretty darn cool!
Speaking of religious themed books - The Master and Margarita by Mikael Bulgakov is fabulous!

Perhaps it depends on the translation? I've only read that one book by him, I still say it is great.

I didn't say the book was bad, but I didn't like it...

I didn´t like it much past the first two chapters, though Heart of a Dog is a favourite of mine.

One of my favourite 'series' of books has to be the foundation series by Isaac Asimov, I think I'll read them again this summer.

| Reading The Bible too. And I plan on getting Bill Mason's Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief soon. It's his autobiography which included lots of juicy stories about his ripping off the likes of Bob Hope, mafia bosses, etc. |

Now what should I read?

I want to read something GOOD. I hate when I start a book and get midway through and realize I am very bored. Blah.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
My wife has just read it and she's been raving about it and urging me to read it. So I've started it and it's really great. It's told by a 15-year-old autistic boy who has a fascination with numbers, space (hey there FB fans!) and logic.
Plus it's not very long, so you probably won't have time to get bored even if you don't like it.

Roddy Doyle - The Commitments
Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime & Punishment
Lorenzo Carcaterra - Sleepers
Louis De Bernieres - Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Sebastien Faulks - Charlotte Gray
These are books that I have enjoyed recently - I think they are good, if that helps. Probably not.

It's a really weird story but I know this kid from a writer's workshop I did back in 1992... I knew he'd be famous
This book is really creepy. He read a bunch of horrific articles and then made up the characters behind them... check it out, real quick read but worth it, and really creepy

I just re-read "The Informers" by bret easton Ellis again. I love it and it makes me miss pot and wish I had pills to pop.
I'm pretty sure there's a new David Sedaris book out this month called "Dress Your Family in Cordoroy and Denim" - I might buy it when I get paid next Friday.
"Barrel Fever" and "Me Talk Pretty One Day" are great, but "Naked" is the best. |

Okay, sorry about the porn shit. I did not mean to offend.
So you want our opinion on some kid you did, from your writers workshop back in 1992?

Okay, I feel we're going in the wrong direction here.
I don't make a habit of reading pornography for many reasons, the main one being I can't afford it.
On a serious note. I'm still reading 1984.
