What are you reading? (May 2012)
Finished :

It was my first erotic/romance book i've read. It does get very graphic but I didn't care much for the main character. She uses the same expletives over and over and constantly talking about her inner goddess. I think it's geared towards Women mainly. Of all the books i've read this year it's probably the worst i've read.
Now starting:

Did not finish:
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/OnTheRoad.jpg)
Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
I may finish yet but good gravy I don't recall the last time I read a book with so many characters that needed to be grabbed by the shoulders and shaken vigorously.
I'm about 75% of the way through it and not sure if it's worth it going on. Mind you, the writing is really good, I just don't care for the story, or the protagonists.
Now reading:

Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. This would be the 5th McCarthy book I've read, and the fourth one this year.

Just finished and enjoyed:

Now I'm getting ready to watch Touch of Evil - the film adaption - which I've never seen before.
Still reading, but kind of a let down:

It is the worst Nero Wolfe book I've read.

Copyright 1898, republished in book form in the early 1920s. It's neat watching the social and technological differences in different times. The Nick Carter book I read before this one was written in 1906, and Nick had a telephone in his house but pursued the bad guys through New York City on horseback.
