Just finished Kerouac's Big Sur, then decided I should probably read On The Road again
|
Ew, bad choice...
|
I liked the one listed above
|
Seriously, you've read it? I'd never even heard of it until today. Pulled it off the library shelves on a whim.
So far it's actually not bad. The writer seems to have some grasp of descriptive language. |
I referred to the manson book above

I'd say it's probably a good companion to Helter Skelter. It doesn't really add too many more 'facts,' but it puts a different spin on events and his life. The sex scenes were pretty rediculous though. You have to wonder how much of it is true, though. Charlie Manson still doesn't seem like the most trustworthy guy on the planet. And, I have to wonder what would've become of him, had he been a successful musician... |

I just finally got around to starting Lord Valentines Castle by Robert Silverberg. Very engaging from the start. It appears we have a science fiction novel that reads like Fantasy in the tradition of such work set by Anne McCaffrey (who is quoted raving about the book within the paperback edition). The planet Marjipoor is apparently vastly large with more than one species of humanoid roaming it, but the technology, after 8,000 years has devolved to the equivalent of our Dark Ages. The book begins with a commoner who's suffered some sort of memory loss who just happens to share the same name with Lord Valentine, the ruler of the gigantic planet.

Call of Cthulu and Other Weird Stories by HP Lovecraft.
Weird to read this book after hearing about Cthulu all my life (my dad's a huge sci-fi nerd) and finding it to be so completely mindblowing. |
Quote:
"Mind blowing" is an especially amusing description of Lovecraft's books given that's exactly what tends to happen when his protagonists look upon the images of the Old Ones! |
![]() Reading this at the mo. Not very good. The usual Brit taking lazy swipes at America's supposed cultural decline. As though British culture is in perfect health at the moment. |
![]() I've been on a real Vonnegut kick lately. |
vonnegtu yeah!

Psycotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung by Lester Bangs.
