What are you reading?

Sins of Scripture : ok so far, don't agree with some of things he had to say.

I'm reading Richard Laymon's "In The Dark". I really like this guys style.

Currently reading:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

I'm currently reading...

Big Bossoms and Square Jaws - The Biography of Russ Meyer, King of the Sex Films
Written by Jimmy McDonough and released by Crown Publishers last week.

So far it's an excellent read and a very interesting look at one of America's most under-rated filmmakers. I understand that Meyer's work is not for everyone, but the guy really knew what he was doing.
And the Roger Ebert stories are really fun to read about.
Recommended!

- Journal of the Gun Years by Richard Matheson
- I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege 1942-1943 by Antony Beevor
Reknowned as the best book on the subject.

Lost Victories

Eurospy Guide by Matt Blake

Batman Archives Vol. 1

These are my active reads, i have a lot of non-active ones that i need to finish too.

In the Dark is great. I recently had a mini-Laymon marathon when I read Island, The Stake and The Travelling Vampire Show back-to-back-to-back. Laymon is one of the best in the genre.

Currently reading Oxford Illustrated History of Ireland in preperation for class tomorrow.
On the stack of too read soon Will Christopher Baers Penny Dreadful and Hell's Half acre, Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. This doesn't count the half dozen tradepaperbacks and graphic novels. I really need to stay out of Second Life and read more.
