Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding - David Hume (short but hefty. I actually just started this 15 minutes ago)
Desolation Angels - Jack Kerouac (It's alright. I enjoyed it more atop Desolation Peak, but once he gets down into the world his encounters aren't anything new)

A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album
by Ashley Kahn

Up next is a Miles Davis bio. I just love how this dude curses.

Here's a Miles quote from the Coltrane book
"Trane liked to ask all these motherfucking questions back then about what he should or shouldn't play. Man, fuck that shit; to me he was a professional musician and I have always wanted whoever played with me to find their own place in the music"

Im about to finish A Scanner Darkly


it was very good

Coupla books and bunch of articles on meth for a research paper on the effectiveness of Iowa's new pseudoephedrine law.

Sporadically, in down moments during this, Joe Sacco's But I Like It, a book of rocknroll comics which are pretty amusing. Book comes complete with a 4-song CD of The Miracle Workers live in Germany, circa 1988. What, never heard of The Miracle Workers? Well, neither had I until I picked this up. They had a really groovey sound. Very garagey like the Stooges, but with slightly more chops. They sound a little like Mudhoney, but heavier, more hard rock than grunge.

I bought this book in like 2nd grade and my dad wouldn't let me read it......the whole concept of the book was so awesome for my little mind!

I think I've heard of that book, is it any good?

I lost my copy.

"Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture" - Thurston Moore

& I'm always reading..."A Seperate Reality: Further Conversations w/ Don Juan" - Carlos Castaneda

I am reading crappy BDSM porn by Anne Rice. It's called "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" (the first in an "erotic trilogy"). I don't know why I'm reading it. I hate Anne Rice's writing. And the BDSM is not turning me on at all.

I hate it when I start reading shitty books. I always feel compelled to finish them. And it always takes ages.
