Han was wrong... he got his ass kicked by Vader, remember?

Vader hax

Other Voices... Other Rooms...


also, Han shot first.

Currently reading Dave Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest after having been recommended it by some of the chaps from the pynchon-l mailing list. Mark Danielewski meets Pynchon. Results in a literary holocaust. Definitely worth checking out.

Am reading Gao Xinjiang's Soul Mountain. Great, great, great.

I just started Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, it's very . To me it feels almost nauseatingly paranoid and lonely, so it's a fun read.

norman mailer is a good man.

started reading "the divine invasion", second in philip k. dick's VALIS series. so far, so gut.

Dick's writing is a bit too space for my taste, though I liked The Man in the High Castle.

Flow My Tears the Policeman Said is the novel of our time

And speaking of Sir Mailer, I've been rereading his finest work An American Dream and it's a lot better the third time through

Dostoyevsky - The Devils
:currently_reading:

Naked and the Dead ain't bad, but I liked Tough Guys Don't Dance and Executioner's Song better.

I'm reading Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, am I the only one who isn't slightly amused by it? I see no reason to keep reading it.

Rent the BBC dvd- not the new film.

Better than the books.
(Which were supposed to be just 1 book, but then the publisher thought "whynottriplethemoney?".)

i thought it was rather shite as well. a fine example of why people shouldn't assume british things are funny, or intelligent, or articulate, or anything, really.

I read some Terry Pratchett before I read Hitchhiker's Guide, Douglas Adams pales in comparison. Hitchhiker Guide is indeed rather bland.

I still like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," though Flow My Tears the Policeman said is probably the best written. It's very :Dickian:

what about a scanner darkly? yeah or meh?

edit: this belongs to sticky movies or the wasteland. very sorry about any inconvenience that may have occurred.

Canoe = GAH.

dick is in fine form on that one.

the movie looks a bit chit though. if that's what you were wondering about.

Port of Saints by William S. Burroughs. Nothing short of faux-orgasmic. Discuss.

never read it.

i finished downloading audiobook torrents of naked lunch and junky, though. burroughs has a good voice, it's quite a pleasure to hear him reading his own work

It was pretty sweet find actually. I was prowlin' through Borders and I found a beat-up old-school ghetto copy of it and I was like

audiobooks sound pretty . Hook me up with da linx
