I normally read a few books - not at the exact same time of course :D but if I'm in one mood, I pick up one book, if I'm in another mood - I pick up another book. hahahahhaha :banana



Books I'm currently reading:

Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins

Dead Famous by Ben Elton

Awaken the Giant Within - Anthony Robbins

This Month I read a history book.."The Comanchero Frontier" (Charles Kenner)..work related...but a damn good read.



I got Umberto Ecos' new Novel.."Baudolino"..and just started it...the first 30 pages are a riot!



I finished "step Across This Line" ..a collection of essays by Rushdie



and I re-read "skinny Legs And All"..(tom robbins)...for the second time...and it was just as wonderfull as the first time!!..



I read the local paper on thursdays, it sucks...but It makes me feel better about my own writing!

;)

I've never heard of "Umberto Ecos"! Is it a humourous novel?



I've heard of Tom Robbins. Not read any of his stuff though.

Umberto Eco is amazing...



lets see



Fucoults Pendulum

The Name Of The Rose

The Island Of The Day Before



several books on Semiotics..



"Baudolino" is a humorous historical fiction novel..set in the 13th century Cinstantinople being sacked by the knights of the 4th crusade...Rescues, Class struggle, Irony...



He's, I guess, one of the great writers...Writes in Italian,

willian weaver does the english translations...

I'm certain he's translated into french and German as well...



this book is clever in that it's written like a diary...and the author seems to be learning to write as you go...



I read a lot of history, socio cultural anthropology...material culture...



I love great fiction!! and great poetry...both of which seem to say more about how our lives really work than any history book does..



:)

Does anybody heard of a guy named Howard Philip LOVECRAFT? He died in Boston in 1938 and he is one of the fathers of horror novels. He's just in one line with Poe, Machen, Blackwood and Bierce. The first time I read one of his stories ( "At The Mountains Of Madness") I was 25 and for one week I was afraid to turn off the lights in my sleeping room. NO JOKE!

HA HA!!

steve..



David Sedaris is one of my heros!!



and...HP Lovecraft was a serious preoccupation for me in my early...20s..?



You should try to find his colected letters...

it's amazing, his letters read like a charming, somwhat efeminate, kindly old grandpa..



and yet his novels and short stories are a very sophisticated sort of maccabe and a facination with Malice as a primordial force...Anthropomorphic malice....



I still have a lot of his books on the shelf here...



"dream quest of unknown kadath"

"at the mountains of madness"

"the doom that came to sarnath"

"the lurking fear"

"the case of charles dexter ward"

"the tomb"

'the color out of space"

"collected letters"

and of course....the Necronomicon..



I had others...but loaned them out and never saw them again...

He liked Cats!!...and understood them the same way I do...

for that alone I'll always like him!

I see you know what I was talking about.

I got all his books. I read a book about his life with some of his letters. BTW did you know that he wrote about ten letters per day and that he lived with closed curtains the whole day?

"The Colour Out Of Space" is the story I "like" the most. But 90% of his stories are great! ("From Beyond")

I'm really glad that someone knows this "mystic" guy!

:) :) :)

I saw David Sedaris in Philadelphia last year at a show he did.



He read a bunch of his stories for about an hour or so.
