Shazam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Moon, finished Twilight. They're actually pretty good. :)



Please don't kill me. :eek:

The Apartment (Screenplay--Drama) by Billy Wilder

Goldie Hawn autobiography .. cant remember the name -


not bad so far .. its always a pain for me to get through the childhood crap - i'm getting near the film stuff so it should be picking up soon.



The Bruce Campbell - if chins could kill - is the only autobio where i actually enjoyed reading about his upbringing.

Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck.

East of Eden, by John Steinbeck.

Scorsese, by Ebert.

I like them too. :o

Just to warn you though that New Moon isn't as good as Twilight, but it's worth reading to get to Eclipse, which is very good. Still haven't read the 4th one yet though.

It's not your fault. You didn't write it.

In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote.

How is that? I've been thinking about picking it up.

From what I've read it's great, written very well.

My one critique is that he seems a bit too turned on by the outlaw mystique and was fooled by textbook sociopathy.

THE AUGMENTED AGENT AND OTHER STORIES by Jack Vance. This 1988 Ace paperback contains a fair number of stories I've never heard of.

Ian Fleming - Moonraker

and

Alice Cooper - autobiography

Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay

Plus, I managed to get through that biography on Antonin Artaud. Once I got used to the biographers dry writing style, it was a fantastic read....what a fascinating man. I've ordered a copy of Theatre and It's Double, and I can't wait for it to get here :D

Im sitting off in work all this week, no work to cover as Im on whats called a standby turn of duty. All which means this morning I polished off about 1/3 of Stephen King's Christine.

in cold blood is amazing writing - definitely a must-read

i just finished Elect Mr. Robinson For A Better World - by Donald Antrim - definitely a film for those who like bizarre books:

the premise - in a sunny suburban california neighborhood all the neighbors begin building moots and fortresses to protect their homes - including mines and artillery - all the while maintaining their sunny dispositions towards each other - must be read to be appreciated!

The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde.

Eclipse and The Silence of the Lambs. The next books I plan on getting are, The Stand and American Psycho. :D


I'm enjoying reading alot more now, so, ill be posting in this thread alot more, have any suggestions as to what I should check out next?

Boy's Life by Robert R. Mc Cammon, Apeshit by Carlton Mellick III, the Keep by F. Paul Wilson and also his Repairman Jack books, It by Stephen King, Murderland Part 1: H8 by Garrett Cook, all books of the highest quality by sexy and cool people.

Sounds cool and refreshingly paranoid! Wonder if "Donald Antrim" might be a pseudonym for J.G. Ballard?

Michael Palin - Diaries - the Python Years

I fancy giving that one a try, let me know if its as good as I think its going to be.

Dr. Sax, by Jack Kerouac.

Re-reading Yonder Stands Your Orphan, by Barry Hannah

The Dark, James Herbert

its excellent so far.

a nice blend of what was going on with him personally as well as how the pythons came to be - and how they interrelated, and how they created.

buy it without hesitation.

THE JOY OF ABSTINENCE by Dr. Oitduse Igneur

Sounds like a short book.

------
lmao

Back on a play reading kick: Tore through William Hoffman's As Is earlier today, now I'm starting Night of the Iguana by Tennessee Williams.

You ever read Eric Overmyer's On the Verge?

Can't say that I have...I'll have to look into it. What's it about?

Once I finish Night of the Iguana, I have a collection of plays by Oscar Wilde that's calling my name.

It's sort of protobizarro. It's hard to describe what it's about. Three young women are in a strange jungle. Chaos...cognitive dissonance. Very philosophical, weird and zany.

Sounds like something I need to read! Thanks for the suggestion :)

Isis Unveiled by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Re-reading The Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger.
