kerouac, on the road

http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Yourself-Live-True-Story/dp/0743264452 Chuck's always a good read, I tend to relate.

Awesome.. been meaning to get to that one for a while. Enjoy :) Just started this: & probably will move on to his new one next

yeah, I read Cocoapuffs from Klosterman and really liked it, the long winded rants don't make for good back to back reading so I'm glad I waited a few months for this one...

well ive been trying to read it and understand but theres so much stuff in there.

fulltext - so i just finished the first in 3 different bibliomeystery series: death on demand, dewey decimated, and the unbound that you were re-reading. Definitely Unbound was the best of the 3, and I'll need to pick up more. death on demand was kinda weak, and i'm a little biased about murder mysteries in small towns/islands, since i feel like at some point those ppl should be a little freaked out that people keep dying. Dewey was ok, a quick little read, fun, but unbound had the juiciest story and was fun - so it wins. next up? no clue... all this heat is making me lazy so i'm sticking to some fluffier books.

I agree, the characters and plot in Unbound are deeper and fuller than the other series. I've read four already and need to get the others. I do like the Death on Demand ones too, but as you said, they are frothier. You may like Booked to Die by John Dunning, who has done i think 5 in the series by now, I read the first three years ago and need to pick up the newer ones. http://www.librarything.com/tag/bibliomystery Finally finished The Secret Life of Bees, it was so good I savored it slowly, and am into The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant now. Makes me want to read Perfume by Suskind again, it has that medieval feel to it. http://www.librarything.com/work/2896

I loved Birth of Venus and Perfume. I keep meaning to pick up another Dunant book. I always see that Bees book around, but have just never picked it up...

The Bees movie with Dakota Fanning, Jenifer Hudson, and Queen Latifa should be out in October. Alicia Keys also has a part in it. Sue Monk Kidd's 2nd book, The Mermaid Chair, has completely different subject matter, but also very good and well written. I saw the movie of Perfume recently and have been meaning to pick up the book again. The movie was excellent. Sarah Dunant's earlier book, In the Company of the Courtesan, is also very good and in the same historical vein.

According to Mason, this movement's creators operate according to piratical tactics and are changing the very nature of our economy. He charts the rise of the ideas and social experiments behind these latter-day pirates, citing the work of academics, historians and innovators across a multitude of fields. He also explores contributions by visionaries like Andy Warhol, 50 Cent and Dr. Yuref Hamied, who was called a pirate and a thief after producing anti-HIV drugs for Third World countries that cost as little as $1 a day to produce. Pirates, Mason states, sail uncharted waters where traditional rules don't apply. As a result, they offer great ways to service the public's best interests. According to Mason, how people, corporations and governments react to these changes is one of the most important economic and cultural questions of the 21st century. Well-written, entertaining and highly original, Mason offers a fascinating view of the revolutionary forces shaping the world as we know it.

I'm slow... I'm still working on Klosterman.... but my baby's bike run's great!!! lol.

lol you do keep busy with your wheels! Its a good thing ... gets you outside and keeps you in shape.

I'm a sexy mutha fucka!

Almost done with this: My wife picked it up off the discount rack, great summer read of short, dark stories. The stories are aimed at adults (or at least people as mature as I am...so 4 year olds and up) and they are almost all rather twisted. I was really surprised to find the story "The Man from the South" in here, the basis for one of the best twilight zones ever (and cribbed by Tarantino in Four Rooms). I grew up reading Dahl, so I'm partial, but a good collection nonetheless.
