and when the mood strikes:
The Sweet Forever - George Pelecanos
Fast Food Nation

>What's on deck?
Not sure, If I'm still in the mood for the writings of a crazy Irishman I may try and tackle Ulysses again.
Otherwise I may look for something good from this year, there's a few I've been meaning to try. I'll probably pick up a another David Mitchell soon, or perhaps read Cloud Atlas again.

>What's good?
eh, haven't been reading much.
I'm enjoying the third policeman quite a bit though.

Sweet, I stumbled across that on Amazon one time and it caught my attention.
I'll have to look for that.

Oh shit, I never finished Time of Our Singing...okay that'll be next.
I should order a few Power's books so I have them around, the book stores around here are no help.
