3/4 of the way through Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Interesting read.

I recently finished Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", well at least all that are out... It was freaking awesome. But it is also massive, so I decided to go back to some American "classics" That I had somehow missed along the way. Here are the recent that I have read:

"Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut -- Really kind of weird deal with your demons kind of book... recommend it.

"The Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger -- Kinda got sick of the teenage angst angle, but could associate on some levels with Holden... I'm not nearly as negative though. Recommend it.

"The Great Gatsby" by F.S. Fitzgerald -- Kinda a loss of innocence, death of the American dream kinda theme, set way back, but almost fits with current political climate. Recommend it.

"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck -- Poor Lennie. Reminds me of me sometimes...Can I tend the rabbits? Recommend it... quick read too...

So now I hit some high school required reading...now I want to go to something fast pace, mindless action, fantasy, sci-fi, adolescent power fantasy type shit. Any suggestions?

I'm reading "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy. It's got a lot of action, violence, killing etc. It's actually set in the 19th century west but it is about a teenage boy.

Halfway through Trunk Music by Michael Connelly. A cop suspense story. Decent read so far.

Sounds kinda like Grand Theft Auto set in Old West. Excellent I will see if I can find the E-book. Thanks! REP

Started The Road, read for about an hour, realized I was halfway done.

Very dour, thus far, stark might be a better word. Noticed that the man and his boy are 'carrying the fire' as in NCFOM.

Swan Song is one of my favorite books. Very much in the vein of The Stand.

I just read Duma Key also. Like most King books lately, it was well written but I was kind of "meh" when finished.

I haven't participated until now, but I read Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" recently.

It was laughable.

I usually read nonfiction. I think I'll continue.

Influenced by true events and characters no less.

There are a few companion books out there that are great to reference every now and then (especially if you don't know the spanish).

Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut

And now I remember why it had been so long since I last read Vonnegut.... I hate bitter complainers w/ negative attitudes. Vonnegut is their poster child. (though he does come up with some hilarious satire at times; too bad it usually devolves to denigration)
