What are you reading right now?

Donovan's autobiog. I only started it 1/4 way in (ha ha) where he met Cliff richard etc. It's suprising! For e.g he makes a lot of claims to invented and was the influence on everything from World music, the summer of love, heavy metal, 1/2 the white album etc. etc. But the oddest thing is when he mentions Alan Klein. He says 'when he took over the Beatles their record sales 'increased dramatically'. I hardly need to point out the flaws in that statement!!!!

I need to find more time to read/read faster so I can read some of these. Some really catch my eye (I know, I know. Never judge a book by its cover, blablabla.).

best Chuck Palahniuk book I've read (granted, I haven't read fight club but i feel like this is the feminine version of it):

^ I'm reading that right now too i's pretty good.

I read that book when I was dropping out of highschool and my whole life was being turned upside down. It completely changed my life and I will love it forever for that reason. You'll know why when you finish it

Or maybe not, but then you should hit me up and we can talk about it.

Bought this today. I've been meaning to read it for a loooonnng time so I'm really excited to get started.

^I'm reading that right now for mah english class.

WWWP · 09-11-2010, 07:28 PM

Cool! We can discuss it and stuff. I wish my high school english classes had had substance, I think the closest encounter we had with real literature was Romeo and Juliet.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Final Straw" by Jeff Kinney.

It's actually pretty good! It has me chuckling quite a lot.
