the old thread is gone (again) so let's start anew.
I have "The Naked Lunch" (W.S. Burroughs) in my pocket right now, makes a fine read during lunch  |

Tim Power "Last Call"
and Terry Pratchett "Thud" as well as a miscellany of audio/synthesis related stuff. ---- To laymen, software development is something akin to wizardry. Neither time, nor effort are involved.

I'm really pleased at how light and entertaining his writing style is. I was worried it would be a big angry rant the whole way through, but he takes an almost humorous approach at various points which makes it very pleasant to read. |

Last book I finished was Pynchon's 'Against the Day'. Amazing read, IMO his best since 'Gravity's Rainbow'.
Currently anxiously awaiting Thomas Ligotti's 'The Conspiracy Against the Human Race', forthcoming from Durtro. |

I'm just finishing that up. Good book. Also reading "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity", by David Lynch and "Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World", by Paul Stamets. |

The Black and Decker Complete Guide to Home Wiring. Light on character development but the technical details are... well, not riveting... wire-nutting? Yes, that's it.
At the old place I've been reading the same book Millie's been reading, "Flush" by Carl Hiaasen. His books for adults seem to have two-word titles, while those for kids and teenagers have one-word titles. The stories are about the same but the ones for younger readers leave out most of the cussin' and "adult" situations. They're all a hoot. Including Hoot. |

This thread....
Actually I don't really pick up a book to read. My wife keeps telling me I should but I don't have time and I'd much rather do something else instead. Last edited by tonalaxis on Tue Jan 23, 2007 8:36 am; edited 1 time in total |

Tonalaxis: I only read when I go to bed these days. Makes it take a while to get through a book, with me falling asleep while reading and all. |
