I'm re-browsing (as you can't really read it straight through, as such) William Cooper's
Behold a Pale Horse.
If you're into wack-job conspiracy theory "non-fiction", you have to own this book for sheer reference. Warning, it will make you consider a tin-foil hat.

Red Harvest, Dune, Count Zero, VALIS...
I really have to like finish books before I start other books.

Finished Microserfs, and am now going 50/50 with House of Leaves and Gravity's Rainbow.
I need to finish more books.

haha reading gr and house of leaves at the same time... that's pretty hardcore
anyone read any cormac mccarthy books? blood meridian is probably my favourite book (up there with confederacy of dunces at least). it's just so incredibly violent but at the same time starkly beautiful. mccarthy's prose is unparalleled imo
"...the slant black shapes of the mounted men stenciled across the stone with a definition austere and implacable like shapes capable of violating their covenant with the flesh that authored them and continuing autonomous across the naked rock without reference to sun or man or god."
badass.

House of Leaves isn't so bad yet, still retaining normal structure.

Debating momentarily stopping Foccault's Pendulum so I can blast through Demon Theory.
The cover claims "...akin to watching Wes Craven's Scream trilogy with David Foster Wallace whispering in your ear"
I'm sold.

reading Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting"
just finished Jonathan Ames "I Pass Like Night" which reminded me a lot of Bukowski
