I probably will not do reading for my AfricanAmerican lit class for next semester, but today I picked up Joseph Heller's Closing Time.

Started reading "The Pacific" yesterday. I started a new job as a jailer and have a lot of downtime. Its a good read thus far. I'm thinking on picking up "With the Old Breed" I think that's what it is called. Worth the $10?

Whoops, I meant over break I probably won't get ahead on reading.
Here's the list: Vintage Book of AA Poetry Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison Sula by Toni Morrison Fall of Rome by Martha Southgate Erasure by Percival Everett. And you gotta be a little bit more creative when insulting me. When I shittalked Norton Anthologies Hamas called me a foot shuffling porter.

3/4's through Clive Cussler "Spartain Gold"
Should be done in a few days. Next up CLive Cussler "Plague Ship" Cussler or Jack Higgens. Cant pick a favorite out of the two, have about 90% of Cusslers work, and 100% of Higgens

Saw Dave Mustains Bio in HMV yesterday, flipped through it, will probably buy the book,
Not like Dane who I'm sure invited Mr.Mustaine over for a personal reading **Not a dig Dane, just misplaced humor, as yyou seem to know most of the music scene in Hollywood . Mustain is actually a great musical influence on me, love the guys work. .

On the AA front, I'm very partial to Nella Larsen's Quicksand, as well as her more known book, Passing.
Also, if you're feeling like something more challenging, Jean Toomer's Cane is pretty damn incredible. |
