Right now I'm reading the first book I've attempted in a long time: Big Bosoms and Square Chins, it is a Russ Meyer biography.

Just finished The Death Collectors by Jack Kerley. I picked it up cause I needed something to read and it was on sale at the Post Office / all in one store. I actually really liked it.

I'm just about done with The Bourne Betrayal by Eric Van Lustbader. He has stayed very faithful to Ludlum's vision, but boy, there are some large leaps of logic for the reader to take.

Just finished King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard. It started a little slow, but became an entertaining read.

I just finished Les Claypool's South of the Pumphouse.

I picked it up since he's my favorite bassist and I like his music. His lyrics are inconsistent, but when he gets it right he can put out great lyrics.

Oh, the book. It was okay. I didn't get the ending. The book picked up towards the end, but the ambigous ending was disappointing.

Now, I'm on to Haunted by Chuck Palaniuk (spelled wrong, I know).

I saw Barnes and Noble had most of the volumes in this series for about $10 each. Worth getting?
