suttree , by cormac mccarthy

 

"The Wild" by Whitley Strieber and "Dreamcatcher" by Stephen King. I'm finishing the first listed and starting the second - i find that if I don't start a book by the time I finish one, that I can't get to starting another. wierd huh?

 

DAS MADCHEN IM ROTEN MANTEL by Roma Ligocka

 

"The alchemist" by paulo coelho
"the beauty myth" by naomi wolf and i just started reading "irrational man" by william barrett.

 

Im a heavy fantasy kinda boy. At the moment I am reading "The Lady Of The Sorrows" which is the second book in a trilogy that began with a book titled "The Ill Made Mute". Written by a female Australian author from Melbourne by the name of Cecilia Dart-Thornton.
If your into fantasy novels and like me are struggling to find new works to read while you wait for the next books in other series to finally be published (C'mon Robert Jordan, Elizabeth Haydon,David & Leigh Eddings and the rest of you) then this is a series, which so far has delighted and enthralled me. I look forward to every oppertunity to pick it up, while quietly dreading the moment when it all ends and reality jumps up to slap me in the face and remind me of where I truely reside.

 

"the ego and its own" by max stirner

 

the epic of gilgamesh

 

"Turn on Tune in Drop out" by Timothy Leary. Great to page 115 so far, he makes me want to buy a sail boat to live on with my group of 10 friends, read books, teach each other, and trip on acid for the rest of our lives.

 

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek- Annie Dillard (<---this book is AMAZING! I encourage you all to read it!)

 

Tibetan Book of the Dead by W. Y. Evans-Wentz

Plato - Republic

 

"The Daodejing of Laozi"

 

I am reading this- well not the actual book, but the title of it.

 

Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell

 

is lipstick jungle good? i read trading up this summer, it was ok, but the character made me think of janice dickinson, so that kind of ruined it for me...

i'm in the middle of reading "actresses and whores: on stage and in society" by kirsten pullen...

its for a paper i'm writing...about how actresses were equated with prostitutes in the nineteenth century

 

Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Borndain. (What a hottie Tony is. He's the host of "No Restervations" on the Travel Channel. First food show which has a drugs/language parental warning.)

It is about the inside food world. Amazing things you NEVER knew about who cooks your food (in even the most ritzy resturants) and how they do it.

In Bondrain's irrepresible style.
