as per Salmon's request, i present a meme on books.
- total number of books I've owned: I wouldn’t say 1000 I would maybe say like 6 or 700 but I’m sure there have been a whole lot that has passed through these big mitts. Mostly fiction; gritty underbelly stuff and drug-addled dark, dark stuff. Don’t know why but I dig it. Also some horror handed down from my Moms (who had over 1,000 books and read us horror when we were young) and some Sci-Fi stuff which I didn’t really like.
- The last book I bought: Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk (still can’t pronounce his last name) which I have yet to read. I have a queue of books ready for me to read so I had to stop buying books.
- the last book i read: Perv: a love story by Jerry Stahl you might know him as the writer for ALF. Permanent Midnight is his life story, good stuff.
- five books that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (genius) can almost call me Ignatius,
the Rum Diaries by Hunter S Thompson, fun on the run in the sun in Puerto Rico
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, I want to have a wolf suit too.
Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil one of the few Non-fiction books I’ve read I freaking dig this book a lot.
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, A book about woman and music obsessions, broken hearts and eardrums, god I can totally relate the main character. This list should be in the book.
- Salmon's addition because it seems like an obvious question to include - what i'm reading now: Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk its not bad but not his best.
i loved "fight club" (the book, only saw half hte movie so can't comment on it too much) and want to borrow the other books by this guy. when i finish the bible. so, uh, next year.
it's The Rum Diary - anf I'm reading it now
