sneaker freaker, the book.

I need to read this thread for some recommendations.

All of my books are in storage halfway across the country. No money for new ones, might hit up the library around the corner soon.

Received this one as a gift at Christmas. Currently an easy read, recommended. Essential points are made throughout.

some short stories by China Mieville... on eor two are excellent.

From the sublime



To the ridiculous

information and apocalypse by paul virilio

Jack Kerouac
Big Sur

Just finished 'Neuromancer', Shit! I had no idea. William Gibon... Invented the matrix and all that, wrote it in 1984! This book is so dope, dude invented the concept of virtual reality way before it appeared.

If you liked the matrix, read this, its like the great grandpappy of a lot of sci-fi about nowadays.

EAST OF ACRE LANE BY ALEX WHEATLE

jus started reading this about the brixton riots and its great.....

its 1981. Biscuit lives with his mother, brother and sister. He helps out by hustling on the frontline for the south london badman Ninchaks. He doesnt want to be doing this for the rest of his life but its difficult to get out fo the trap. A searing account of a young mans attemtp to do the right thing set against the back drop of the Brixton Riots. Its a gripping thriller set in a society on the verge of exploding. As the patience of the community breaks and the riots begin to errupt, Biscuit has to make a chioce that could change his life forever.

I read Neuromancer recently, great book..got Count Zero on the 'to read' pile..

I'm reading Moby Dick at the moment..it's a bit of a mission though, and technical info about whaling etc, but generally a good read..

Just finished reading Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Read it in 2days, couldn't put it down. Its memoirs of a glue sniffin' coke head alki who goes into rehab. Recommend it to everyone.

yeh i know my copy has the authors notes in it, still a good read fact or fiction. Oprah needs to get God on her show, the amount of shit that his book chats is beyond belief.

i have the second book, My Friend Leonard but wont give it a read for a few months. Hopefully it'll be just as good.

I still have that one lying around, let me know if it's any good... I didn't like snow all that much, so I'm kind of hesitant to start with this one.

YESSSS! Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is probably my favourite novel ever (and I've read loads cos I'm dead brainy). Haruki Murakami is a BADMAN. He should get the Nobel Prize for Literature. And the Nobel Prize for Being a Badman
