What are you reading?

Infinite Jest is probably the best book I've ever read. 

Broom of the System is good too.

I remember that McCain piece, it was great, doesn't change the fact that he was replaced by a cylon in 2004.

:-o Might have to add that to my queue...

def.  thanks for the recommendation faux and hicks!  ordered the ink on paper version.

heh, ditto... i need a beach book because by the time i go i'll be done with the two i'm reading now...

thanks!

Love Chandler. The Big Sleep is incredible.

I say the Maltese Falcon as a recommendation.

Reading The Big Sleep now per your recommendation. just the kind of thing I want to read now, really enjoying it.

Decided to go with this one

I was thinking about picking this one up also, love to hear what you think about it once you finish reading it.

I'm about 3/4 through this one and I am enjoying it.  It focuses a lot on the preparations of the worlds fair.  Planning and execution.  Lots of architecture talk.  But it's not boring... at least not for me.  I'd recommend it.  I like how it's all true too.  Lots of little interesting facts throughout

^^read that one a while ago also. really enjoyed it.

right now this one - which might explain my post in last album(s) listened to

I wanted something trashy for the long weekend we just had...



It's a little long, the drug stories are plentiful, and it's definitely trashy.

Since classes have been done I have been reading so much more and I'm loving it.  This 2 books a week pace is great!  I have never read any of the Gonzo papers so on Sunday I borrowed "The Great Shark Hunt" from Lifeboy.  Pretty entertaining read, it's hilarious.

Great book. Also the movie with Humphrey Bogart is amazing as well. I went through a period of hardboiled detective books.

Bogart is in the movie? Super sweet, I'll have to check it out when I'm done.

Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity - David Foster Wallace


I just started this and I've never read DFW before, but it's already obvious to me why I've read such good reviews on some of his other works here. His style has a way of communicating a very complex concept so simply and directly. If you hate math, this might be a tough read but there is also some pretty interesting insight with regard to logic and abstract thought.

nice!

my favorite book of his. but then in general i like his non-fiction better than his fiction.
this book rules.

Read this in 3 days!  Kind of creepy, but great book.  Definitely looking forward to reading the next two

just finished this:




and am now onto this:



i'm finding that i really love conspiratorial thrillers and such...

[fauxpaxfauxreal]

I just read this.  It has a similar plotline to what happened on 9/11.  I wonder if this book inspired the terrorists.

i'm reading this one now. also just saw the trailer this weekend at the movies, looks cool.

i know i'm going to enjoy a book when i'm completely enthralled in the writing, even though nothing is really going on. this happened early in the book, and now that things are happening, combined with the high quality of the writing, makes for a really great reading experience.

yeah, it's real quality - you'll quickly head into the 2nd and 3rd books after you finish this, i guarantee you - they only get better and better!!
