A Drink With Shane McGowan

It`s basically a series of interviews of him done by his (now ex) wife.

There`s some wonderful stories in there

i'm in the middle of:

notes from the underground-dostoevsky: exsistential and confusing
future eden-colin thompson: like the hitchiker's guide style but different and just as good!
hitchiker's guide...-adams

i highly recommend the Abarat series....great books and the drawings are amazing and add to the reading experience!!

I love Dostoevsky, especially Crime and Punishment.

i feel a bit stupid recommending this, because it's rather a cliché, but here it goes - j.d.salinger - catcher in the rye, and if you get a chance 9 stories, that's some of the best shit i've read, he's a master of short stories, my favorite would be "for esme with love and squalor" and "teddy"....

Right now, I am reading Sacajawea, by Anna Lee Waldo. Sort of a 'faction' of her life.

And, Transforming the Mind, by His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

Also, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. ( I like to read a classic every now and then)

Geez, anybody else do the 'reading too many books at once' thing?
