Just bought the first three Discworld books, so I'm gonna be reading those soon. Love fantasy, love Douglass Adams, so this was a no-brainer. I gotta say, these books have some of the best covers I've ever seen.

Lord of the rings with a touch of peter pan, sounds interesting. The covers are pretty whimsical.

These look interesting. I agree, those are some pretty badass covers.

More like Lord of the Rings mixed with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's a series that sort of lovingly parodies fantasy.

The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

Basically it's an examination of various cultures' mythic tales of heroism and finding a common theme between them all, and then exploring that theme. I got interested in the subject after watching a brief summation of the thesis a few weeks back in relation to the PSN game Journey and am curious how much of this relates to my current Skyrim character.

I just re-read Les Claypool's book, South of the Pumphouse, for the first time since around when it came out:



Kind of reads like a John Steinbeck, Cannery Row style... and Les' setting is only a short car ride north, in the east Bay Area.

Moving on to re-read one of my other favorite bass player's books...
Victor Wooten's "The Music Lesson"



Which reads a bit more like a Carlos Castaneda written Don Juan spiritual journey type. Very excited to re-read it as a friend of mine had borrowed it 6 months ago after I finished and I finally got it back!

I liked this one. I'd recommend Power of Myth as well.

Taking a break from Russia for the moment and finally picked up a Murakami. I'm only twenty pages and am already in love with his writing.

I read this every 3 or 4 years to remind myself that immorality isn't so bad.
