Still reading:

Simon Sebag Montefiore - Stalin the court of the red Tsar

Tom Holland - Rubicon, the triumpth and tradegy of the Roman Republic

Along with several other books that is.

The Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey. IMO, Eric Schlosser's foreword makes it sound much more fervent in its eco-anarchist message than it actually is. Man, I should really stop reading prefaces....

I dunno... seemed pretty eco-anarchist-y to me. How are you liking it?

The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss. It's fascinating.

I agree... the diet and weightlifting plan alone are worth the price of admission.

for me:
Consider the Lobster - David Foster Wallace

Love DFW. Have you read Infinite Jest?

Ham On Rye by Charles Bukowski

I just finished "Women" and "Post Office" by Buk. Factotum is in the stack.

Oh, Mmhmm, your book reminded me of this one:



I just picked it up on my kindle. Hoping to read it soon.

Well, it supposedly is, but, given that one of our protagonists is described by his comrades as a sociopath, I don't know how much Abbey intended them to be representative of his views...

It's well written, IMO, but half of it is people running away from the police. In a desert. Not exactly engaging, IMHO. But that's just me. At times, I admit it was a bit of a chore to go through, but I'm not exactly the greatest bookworm ever, so it might just be me being a halfwit.
