The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. never read him before. really good. the classic hard-boiled detective story.

then i finally decided to try some Palahniuk, since he appears to be everyone's favorite author. maybe i picked the wrong one, Survivor, because i didn't like it at all. it was gimmicky and trite and banal. no real characters to care about at all.

I enjoyed that book, I read it when it first came out.  Def gets you thinking about certain topics.

Can we talk about the Dead?  I'd love to talk about the fucking Grateful Dead, for once, can we please discuss the Grateful FUCKING Dead!?!?!?!

i've been reading Groucho Marx's autobiography.  really interesting and well written.  dude was a genius and a money maker.  in 1936, he made over 1.5 million.  yowza.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order; the continuous thread of revelation.

Ironically, I saw the book at a store the other day with the Oprah book club sticker and was like "damn, I am gonna hear about this from someone."  :frustrated: 

Of course, you brought it up, soooo....

Regardless, I am still enjoying it.
