Also: Steinbeck's Cannery Row and Jimmy McDonough's Shakey. Has there been a thread on this Neil Young bio yet? McDonough certainly has an axe or two to grind, and a tale or two to tell.

Oh, and for some reason I got an urge to learn German, so I got a couple of schoolbooks from the library to try my hand at it.
What a geeky summer, indeed. I usually only read one book at a time, but hey, only one of these is a novel anyway.

Mick Farren is a fun writer. I found a stash of his paperbacks for a buck each at a used bookstore in town and have been going through them one by one. In the past couple of months I have also read "Necrom" and "The Feelies". I still haven't heard any of his music, but I plan on checking out that first Deviants record someday.

just finished James Lincoln Collier's two young adult novels from '67 and '75 again: The Teddy Bear Habit and Rich and Famous. He was a crap jazz writer but George Stable is a great character. Loved them books when I was a lad.
Oh, and waiting for Emma to finish Lemony Snicket #7 so I can read it. Dude is the best prose writer in the U.S.A., no question.

I'm loving this book about 1/3 into it. It's a murder mystery written from the perspective of a 15-year old autistic boy. Very entertaining with some math and logic bits thrown in for flavor. All chapters must be prime numbers!

I have a theory that Jane Austin is like porn. You have the cool dialogue every so often, and that bit's REALLY cool (like the sex), but then you have pages of annoying "then she went here, and then she did that, and found it most disagreeable" and it's boring as hell, just like the acting.

It's Jane Austen (with an e) incidentally.

I'm leaning towards starting up "High Rise" by JG Ballard, which I found at a libary sale a couple of months back. What is funny is that the copy of the Ballard book came out of the US Naval Observatory Libary in Chicago, which I found as rather strange.
