You really, really should.

In addition to Rabbit Redux, Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at Rest, he did a small novel, Rabbit Remembered that is tucked away in a short story collection and is a sequel to the Rabbit series.

The Year Of The Flood by Margaret Atwood. I read the first part of that trilogy, Oryx and Crake, years ago and found it absolutely brilliant. But then forgot about it because it took a good while before The Year Of The Flood was published. It's great to be rediscovering that story again. And it's even more relevant now.

Gonna read the third book as soon as I finish this.

This might sound silly, but those books have made me think about how I live my life!

THE BEANO ANNUAL

MonstaMash

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.

A fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century...a truly tragic read.

Using council records, autobiographies & firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs & warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne & other tribes, to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres & broken treaties that finally left them demoralized & defeated.

The Book of Lost Things, John Connoly, I'm really enjoying it. It's the first one of his books I've read.

You should try 'Empire of the Summer Moon' by S. C. Gwynne. It tells the true story of the kidnapping and search for people taken by the Commanches and is the story that the film 'The Searchers' was based on.

Iam Reading Ross O'Carroll-Kelly 'Downturn Abbey' at the moment. I got it as a Christmas gift. Ive read about 3/4 of his other books. Last one about 2 years ago. I enjoyed the other ones but Iam struggling to keep reading it after 100 pages-in.

Id give it about 2/10. Dont think I will finish it. The whole 'Ross' story seems a bit drawn out at this stage with this book. Its not funny anymore.

'Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud' by Brendan Gregg

Great book....if your into that kinda thing!

Finished "Stoner" by John Williams, a lost classic, loved it.

Now reading "The Circle" by Dave Eggers and it is amazing.

Finally finished American Psycho. Jesus that was a letdown. Had meant to read it for a long time, but I couldn't wait to finish it. Got tired of all the designer clothes names and people that look like other people. Skipped the third chapter on pop music. And yeah some fúcked up moments too.

I've read other books by Easton Ellis. Rules of Attraction was by far the best. Less than Zero was alright and Glamorama another long disppointment. Wonder if I'd bother with Imperial Bedrooms, sequel to Less than Zero.

Started I Am Legend.

Spike was on the Late Late:

Gaybo: How long were you in North Africa?

Spike: 6'4".

Still cracks me up.

Rereading Bonfire of the Vanities after I watched the Wolf of Wall Street. The broker in the book reminded me of the De Caprio character, he's a "Master of the Universe" and hasn't many redeeming qualities.

Say Your Number

Just finished The Rocky Road by Dunphy and really enjoyed it, I admire his honesty, to come out and denounce the Charlton regime during Italia '90 while the whole country was in party mode took serious balls, the amount of abuse he and his family was a bit ridiculous seeing as he had a valid point of view.
