I'm in the mood for something really depraved. Any suggestions?
|
Read anything by Dennis Cooper...
|
Last exit to brooklyn, Thats really depraved...
|
I just want something mindlessly trashy. Preferably non-fiction.
|
I have the perfect thing for you if you like true crime schtick...
Happy Like Murderers - The true story of Fred + Rosemary West by Gordon Burn |
Apart from the aforementioned leisure reading, I am also (for work) delving into the exciting world of the European Waste Catalogue. It's a 'harmonised, non-exhaustive list of waste types, with each waste type being assigned a six digit code made up of two three digit codes'. It's just great, and you'll no doubt be chuffed to bits to discover that the whole, fully interactive (!?) document can be downloaded RIGHT HERE! I know you're just gagging to have a read.
I do not like the European Union. At all. |
i'm reading osamu tezuka's Buddha series at the moment and i'm on volume 2, it's great, a good old fashioned mythological epic

Sexus: Henry Miller
Tarantula: Bob Dylan |
I recently finished:
Alec Foege - Confusion is Next: The Sonic Youth Story Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (a.k.a. Bladerunner) And am now reading: Nikolai Gogol - Dead [Fucking] Souls Willian Gibson - Neuromancer H.D.B. Clark - Colloquial Japanese Roger Love - Set Your Voice Free |
Recently read: Breakfast Of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut (****/****) Magician - Raymond E. Feist (****/****)
Now Reading: Grimus - Salman Rushdie |
Breakfast of Champions is the best thing that has ever been printed on paper and called a book.

Just finished Taichi Yamada's In Search of a Distant Voice.
This is the second of his books to be published in English, after Strangers. Very low key ghost stories. |

I have not come across this before. More information please. I'm dipping in and out of a lot of books. Augustine's confessions and Voltaire's Miracles and Idolatry are the two that seem to spring readily to mind. Also, going back over Derrida for the millionth time. One day, it'll all make sense. One day... |
I'm halfway through Alice Miller's 'The drama of being a child'.I'm enjoying every single page on it.
|
Just finished The Possibility of an Island by Michel Houellebecq.
