What are you reading right now?

^ Anything by Bukowski. The short stories like Tales of Ordinary Madness & The Most Beautiful Woman in Town seem to go quicker than the novels, like Ham on Rye, Women, Hot Water Music, Post Office, etc.

right now I am reading a book on biology

Try God Bless You Mr. Rosewater or Slaughterhouse V by Kurt Vonnegut. Both move quickly and are interesting and funny.

If you're going non-fiction I recommend a biography, pick a favorite musician maybe.

I have been wanting to read a good book for a while now.. I stopped reading for quite a while. I figure i work less and have the time to start.

Anyone recommend anything that is or close to science fiction fantasy? (usually what iv liked)

cardboard adolescent · 08-24-2008, 02:11 AM

you should read anything new wave sci-fi... it's all great. science fiction with philosophical edge. and drugs. i always recommend dhalgren, since it's my favorite book. anything by philip k. dick is probably a good call too though.

I just finished reading Armageddon in Retrospective by Kurt Vonnegut. It's an amazing collection of short stories, plus a speech transcript and a letter he sent to his family after WW2. I really loved it. Now I'm reading Everything is Illuminated by Johnathon Safran Foer.
