Sounds ****ing awesome.

Right now I'm re-reading one of my favourite books, The Chocolate War.

dunno whether I should get the new reprint of Volume 1 - it's slightly smaller in width and breadth

The Doors by The Doors. A collection of interviews and rare photographs. I only just finished the section of how each band member came to be a part of. It's pretty great so far, I have several hundred pages to go and to anticipate.

I haven't finished it yet, but there is no appearance of The Boss yet.

John Irving - Last Night in Twisted River

Pretty typical John Irving but I like his sort of immersive narrative.

Reading a big stack o' plays right now.

A Murder of Crows - Mac Wellman
Language of Angels - Naomi Iizuka
Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams
The Little Foxes - Lillian Hellman
End Game - Samuel Beckett
Blue Window - Craig Lucas

Most of these are re-reads, but I'm trying to find something tasty to direct.

Pretty fun read. Varese seemed like a pretty damn cool guy. One of my favorite books I've been reading recently.

I've started reading A Clash of Kings, the second book in the Song og Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. My friend has just finished it and she tells me it's a great read. I'm really excited about reading fantasy again, I can't remember doing so in a very long time.
