What are you reading RIGHT NOW?

i´m reading this thread RIGHT NOW and i´m thinking we already do have monthly reading threads to discuss that.

I'm reading some of the comments on a youtube video. Who IS th psychotic girl mentioned in the Black Keys song "Psychotic Girl"? Opinions are split!

Am in the middle of reading a short story by Elizabeth Bishop from a magical realist fiction anthology I own.

Right Now Reading:

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
Bambi vs. Godzilla by David Mamet
Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

I just finished Joe by Larry Brown and now I'm reading the sequel, Fay. Both books are awesome. I'm in a "grit-lit" phase at the moment. Only reading Southern authors. Harry Crews, Larry Brown, Tim McLaurin, Doris Betts.

"syrup" by max barry, its really good

I just finished watchmen and loved it looking forward 2 the film. but I have been reading all chucks books. I finsnished

choke
fight club
survivor
invisible monsters

and i am now reading lullaby

this is my first post and I am glad 2 be part of the cult. Truly though the mans books have had a huge impact on my life and they are now my new obsession.

Now how do you follow that...??

Just finished Sweetheart - Chelsea Cain. Not as good as Heartsick, but not many books are. I stumbled upon Chelsea after hearing recommendations from both Ville Valo
(of the Finnish band HIM), and Mr. Palhniuk himself. With no new Chuck 'til may, I'm looking for someone else with which to bide my time. Any suggestions?

I Love Hunter S. Thompson, Brett Easton Ellis, Edgar Allen Poe, and Mark Twain, to name a few. But I find my interests lack enough contemporary, or living authors.

Please help!

A biography of Roald Dahl because my tutor wrote it (and set it for class). But for fun, various books about literary theory. Typing that made me feel like a prick.

Imagine I said something with more guns in.

I started Money by Martin Amis, who I think just wrote the novel around his use of the word "nigger" in the first chapter.

I just started reading Tender as Hellfire by Joe Meno.
Pretty good so far.

fierce invalids home from hot climates by tom robbins

its got my vote for 'best thrift store purchased book' on my shelf. here's hoping i won't want to send it back to adoption agency after i've had my way with it.

I'm reading "Katzenjammer" by Jackson Tippet McCrae and last night I finished "Lockpick Pornography" by Joey Comeau.

I'm in the middle of reading Footprints in Custard by Patrick Braden.

A very long but oddly compelling thriller called 'The Exception' by Christian Jungerson. Highly recommended although I'm still 50 pages from the end of it's nearly 600 pages.

the drawing of the three by stephen king

The Essential Feminist Reader by Estelle Freedman (just a compilation of essays/letters

Deliverance by James Dickey

All Saints by Brenda Marie Osbey

The Dharma Bums by Kerouac

on a funny note, my friend thought it'd be a good idea to buy me a present.... a book... from Walmart. So he buys me something called, "Urban Series presents: Trophy Wife."

While the thought is appreciated, wth about me screams "Trophy Wife?"

That reminds me of the books in the bookstore on Campus. The store seems to lack alot of classics or popular contemporary authors, but it's stocked with the "Sex in da Hood" series.. and various other "urban" books..

It's gotten alot better over the years though, I'm pretty content with the selection now.

Anyhow,

I read Dharma Bums earlier this year, hope you enjoy it. Some love it, some hate it.

chuck is a gateway drug
