Was at the library and my friend gave me two books to get:

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Herzog by Saul Bellow


Started Lolita tonight, I like it thus far. Need my dictionary handy, though; which is kind of a good thing. Actually learning more haha.

That's one of the things I really like about the Kindle, the instant definition for whatever word you set the cursor to. SO USEFUL

I'm currently reading: "Queer" by William S. Burroughs.

If you like early Burroughs, check out his favourite book "You Can't Win" by Jack Black (Not GearManDudeJackBlack).
It's a great read and is clearly where he got his inspiration for "Junky".

"A Perfect Day For Bananafish" is a wonderful fucking story.

Rereading the Paradise War by Stephen Lawhead.

rereading Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murikami. His novels never get old.

Ahhh yes, excellent choice sir, a most incestuous vintage.

Going through all of JG Ballard's short stories.

That reminds me, I still gotta finish Concrete Island.

One a bit of a pulp kick and just read and really enjoyed this:



Another one of his books, "Home Is the Sailor", is killer, reprinted by Hard Case Crime.

Kafka's complete stories collection.
