Only read the first few pages up till now, but being a massive fan of the Wu it's inevitable that i will enjoy reading what is pretty much a Wu biography.

absolutely loving it to be honest. its just getting to the point where he meets gatsby now. can't wait, i've heard he's one of the all time greatest characters in literature.

I am reading Musicophilia. It is a really interesting book about why people like to listen to music and why they like to listen to that particular type of music.

Anna Karenina. I advise everyone who likes realism (or whatever the name, you get my idea) to read it, tho it's very long and written reaaaaaaally small. But it's never boring

The original "uncut" version of On The Road by Jack Kerouac. VERY cool read, whether you've read the "official" 1957 print or not. It's the way Kerouac first wrote it, as a giant scroll with no paragraph or page breaks, and wayyyyy less punctuation haha it is very stream of consciousness. Also interesting is that it has all the unchanged names of the actual characters: Carlo Marx is Allen Ginsburg, Sal Paradise is Kerouac, Dean Moriarty is Neal Cassady and so on, so you get some really cool insights in to the kinds of people that Ginsburg, Kerouac, and Cassady really were.
Definitely recommend this one.

Really nice and easy christmas time read before I go back to uni and re-read Paradise lost for the fith time.
Derren's autobiography, if you can call it that, is truly insightfull and delightful.

A very unconventional novel but most entertaining.
