What are you reading?

Good, funny, and a page turner. If you are a fan of Adam Carolla or his type of humor you'll love it. It's not a scholarly read by any means but if you're a man and like cheap laughs while enjoying a beer by the poolside this is worth picking up.

Not very far in, but I'm finding it kind of sexist and boring.

I found it disappointing.

Just started Santaland Diaries, David Sedaris - a counterweight to the Foster Wallace. Hilarious.

Really interesting so far. Not as dry as I expected.



Edina, I'm going to get Art of Travel from the library today.

Get any of his stuff, seriously.

A Week in an Airport was such a fantastic and charming essay.

Started on this last night, really good so far, and a really easy read.

The Count of Monte Cristo, by Dumas Sr.
But lately I'm too busy with work, and barely have time in the night to finish it, and if I have time, I'd rather sleep.
It is a beautiful novel with flowers of speech.

So reading 1453 about the fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottomans. I find it really sad for some reason.

I flipped through that over the weekend, thought it looked interesting. Would you recommend?

In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. The book is good. Chapter 3 is sublime.

Just finished Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Beautiful book. Now onto some of his other works... not sure what I'll pick up next. I've already read A Wild Sheep Chase, so I'll see what looks good at the store tomorrow.
