>Whatcha readin? 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.
>I just finished The Geographer's Library, by Jon Fasman, last >night. It was a nice diversion and I think it would appeal to >people who, for example, liked The Shadow of the Wind. >There's just the tiniest nod to Umberto Eco, but don't think >it's as cerebral as Eco, it isn't.
Sweet, I stumbled across that on Amazon one time and it caught my attention. I'll have to look for that.
>Prior to that, I had re-read one of my favorite books of all >time -- The Gold Bug Variations, by Richard Powers. It really >startles me that on the fourth go-round I still find more in >the book. So that made me think that I couldn't stand >anything less filling, and I pulled out Three Farmers On Their >Way To A Dance, which I'm reading now after the diversion of >The Geographer's Library. This is, I think, my fourth read of >Three Farmers, as well.
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.
