what are you reading right now?

[brownlights]

Some great architectural imagery and set in a fantasy-ish, steampunk-y dream world.

On a side note, has anyone read Iain Banks' Culture novels?

[Ted Pikul]

Was gonna start The Ghost Writer but Ive been lazy

[Ted Pikul]

[CudNylon]

Trying to decide what to read next. Usually go for something non-fiction but I have a couple novels building up, including two by Flann O'Brien. Which should I read first: At Swim-Two-Birds or The Third Policeman?

[Meginhufr]

[edgar allen poe]

the third policeman is probably the best place to start with flann o'brien

[botanical illustrations]

i'm on james grieve's translation of the second volume right now

i love davis' work, so i'm doubly stoked about it. not far in (it's my between semesters read). how's the grieve translation holding up in comparison?

[new blood, old hat]

I'm traveling from 9am to 9pm this saturday and hope to make some progress in books that I've had laying around

[Polynoggin]

Some interesting sections, though not as good as I was hoping for.


Much more humorous and silly than the cover would make you think.

[electric diesel]

Easier than lugging books

i thought there would be a bigger difference between the two, but it's pretty seamless, to me at least.

[joe]

hey what's the best Raymond Chandler, I'm making my xmas list right now

[neopolitan]

Reading Nixonland, feel a little disappointed about it. I'm starting Dan Simmon's The Terror next.

[Tuesdays with Morrissey]

Just finishing this

Joe: Cathedral is probably the best, if the most atypical. Longer, less minimalist. "A Small, Good Thing" is one of the best short stories ever written.

Edit: if by "Chandler" you meant "Carver"

Otherwise, probably "Farewell, My Lovely," although it can't hurt to step one back to "The Big Sleep" and just start at the beginning.

[prunes]

its really good.
