The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test- Tom Wolfe

Awesome book. My aunt gave it to me to read, and apparently we're bonding over tales of Ken Kesey and acid.

I'm currently reading Terry Pratchett - Carpe Jugulum and Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities.

And on the non-fiction front, I'm reading up on game programming whenever I have the chance.

Anyway
Its a memoir about the author and his time in concentration camps as a teenager, the most depressing thing ive ever read.

Have everything by Chuck, just read Choke again, since the movie finally came out. Very pleased by the adaptation -- check it out, definitely.
Are you reading Night for school? That's when I read it -- or at least tried to -- way too depressing for me. Sparknotes got me through it.

Currently
I'm enjoying some Douglas Coupland, JPod, for at least the third time. =)

Yeah it is, sorry for the late reply, yeah it's very well researched and there's some really interesting facts and ideas in it.

Finally got started on this one. Does anyone know if this was the influence behind Mr. Bungle's Air-Conditioned Nightmare?

^ I can only assume that yes. Yes it was.

I just finished this one this morning.

I'll be taking this with me on the road.

I read both of those last year. The whole Peaceful warrior "series" (if you wanna call it that) is great.
