Anyone read any Fante?
Yes, i read ask the dust a while ago and didnt realise there was other Bandini books for a while.
Great writer. Reading "Wait untill spring, Bandini" right now actually.
Your right about the film, i had it ready to watch after the first half of the book. Watched it straight after and it almost ruined the whole experience in the first place. More reason, if you ask me, to trust Rotten Tomatoes.

The Social Contract, Rousseau. Not exactly light reading, but it passes time.

Love it, wicked book. As is 3 men in a boat, hilarious.
I'm about to start Murakami, Hard-Boiled wonderland.
Just finished microserf by Coupland, was good but Interest started to wane towards the end, think I preferred Jpod.

Just Finished:
Man In The High Castle by Phillip K. Dick
(Cheers Jubz for the lend
)
Was very good, took a little time to get going but the last third of the book is intensly gripping, some amazing sentences that just made me think 'Deep'.
Worst part...the end felt rushed and a bit abrubt.

Mr Hyde wrote:'get in the van' by henry rollins.....its a bit depressing how pissed off he is with everything!
That's a good read. It's pretty fascinating to correlate that book w/Rollins' music and esp. his spoken-word stuff of the time. I admire his ability to focus his anger into his writing as he did. Never really liked him in Black Flag(or anything else he's done, for that matter).

I just finished the book of 'Generation Kill'; it was, like series, absolutely amazing.
Now I'm about halfway through 'Who Killed Christopher Robin' which is a trashy supposed 'exposé' about the death of Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones.

Hells Angles by Hunter S Thompson. Reasonably interesting so far, but a little turgid and repetitive at times.
