That's funny because not too long ago when I started reading again after a long respite, this was the book I started with.

Read

I need to read that one. I have done every other book Jim Butcher has written but that one.

Just finished Soon I Will be Invincible, pretty good superhero prose there. Interesting to see the paragons of my favorite heroes.

Now I'm about to tackle Black Hawk Down about 3 chapters in and loving it already!

I only read two of the stories in that book, I should finish it. Will probably do that before the next book comes out.

The short story that takes place moments after the end of book 12 was the main reason I picked up the book.

These two will probably take me into January:

I thought it was well written and had some interesting things in it. Some of it I was kind of aware of but there was some info in there that was new to me. I guess if you're a late night show viewer at all it would be a pretty interesting read I would think. I need to pick up The Late Shift and read that sometime too.

^ I thought it was one of his weaker novels, but still quite enjoyable.

Now I am reading:

Finished Paul Theroux's Dark Star Safari, one of the better travel books I've read in years:



Currently working through Mira Tweti's Of Parrots and People (which is good, but not great):



and the RZA's The Tao of Wu which is equal parts insightful and ludicrous:

Just finished:

Currently enjoying the shit out of . . . .

Just finished Walter Kirn's Up in the Air. In a lot of ways, it complements the last two books I read (Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho and Diablo Cody's Candy Girl). All three are told in first person (though Cody's is a memoir, so that's fairly normal). Like Psycho, there are passages that are ambiguous enough to leave the reader wondering just what the reality is that the p.o.v. character has perceived, and like Candy Girl, there's a lot of talk about the midwest. Cody's book is 99% about Minneapolis, but each discusses subcultural values, etc., of the general area.

Next up: the way I've planned to finish off 2010 since the end of 2008: Sir Alec Guinness's A Positively Final Appearance. I'll likely wait until after Christmas to begin; I don't want to lose my reading momentum with the inevitable circus, and I should still have time enough to finish by New Year's Eve.

Just finished At Home by Bill Bryson which I loved and now I'm reading Awake in the Dark by Roger Ebert. Still need to read The Girl that Kicked the Hornets Nest as well.
