I finished Paddy Whacked and loved every bit of it. Got started on and am just a few pages away from finishing this collection of short stories by
Edogawa Rampo, this Japanese guy who named himself after the Japanese pronunciation of Edgar Allen Poe (say his name a few times and it'll become
clear) and he basically started the modern mystery/horror literature craze in Japan back in the early part of the twentieth century. The book is
called Japanese Tales Of Mystery & Imagination and it's pretty fuckin' good. All these creepy short stories that are roughly the Japanese equivalent
of Poe without being an imitation. I need to find another book to read since, as I said, this one is almost done.

I just finished reading a Douglas Adams book called Dirk Gentry's Hollisitic Detective Agency. It was a pretty good read; if you liked the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you'd like it. I'm now reading an autobiography called Cass. I like it alot; about a black dude who grew up as a
soccer hooligan for West Ham. He also talks about the skinheads and other kinds of shit. It's reminding me alot of that dude Lenny McLean's book The
Guv'nor.
I just can\'t seem to STAND STILL

I'm in the middle of Johnny Cash's autobiography. Damned if I've had time to get to it in the last few weeks, though.

Toni Morrison - Beloved. This book is tough.
Frederick Douglass- book of poems. He was a champ at these.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Finally finished "A Bright Shining Lie". Thing was a beast of a book at over 800 pages. Very good if you're looking for a history of American
involvement in Vietnam.
Also re-read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. EXCELLENT piece of literature! I think I read most of it in high school, but I didnt really
remember any of it as I reread it. This guy really knows how to tell a story. It's mainly memoirs from his time in Vietnam, but told in a very
interesting way. I highly recommend it.

I'd recommend anything by Richard Dawkins, biology/evolutionary theory but not nearly as dry as you'd think, (and he's more anti-clerical than
slayer). Pretty much anything by steinbeck, particularly East of Eden, The Grapes Of Wrath, Cannery row and Of Mice and Men. I just finished Kurt
Vonnegut's Galapagos which I enjoyed, I've never been disappointed by any of his books. I finally got around to reading Crime and Punishment a while
back which I'd also recommend. For political stuff it's hard to beat Chomsky's insight.

That's a great book, I loved it. The other book he wrote, something like Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way, isn't nearly as good. If you're a Campbell
fanatic pick it up, but it's his attempt at using the persona he has created for himself and writing a novel around it and it's not really all that
great.
