      Dispatches is an excellent book... probably the best one about Vietnam and the basis for many a film dialogue.

      I am reading

        Yeah I was hooked into it for sure. The Tim Page one i started about a year ago but never really got into. After reading Dispatches though i kind of got into the Tim Page one more easily.

          Recently read:

          Little Hands Clapping
          by Dan Rhodes.
          little-hands-clapping.jpg
          ^^^Fantastic. Entertaining, a bit of a quick read, but the characters are wonderfully detailed. Lovely stories behind all faces.


          Apathy and Other Small Victories by Paul Neilan
          9780312352196.jpg
          ^^^Really good... Funny and realistic. The main character seems to be a basic sketch of a 21st century Holden Caulfield, but caring even less.

          Currently reading:

          The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
          33091529.jpg
          Not sure how I feel about this one. Only 60 pages in, and I've started reading instead...

          The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
          The_Years_Of_Rice_And_Salt.jpg
          Too early to tell.

          Future reading:

          Replay by
          Ken Grimwood
          Ken-Grimwood-Replay.jpg
          ...based on a recommendation. Premise seems like it might be repetitive, but I'll give it a shot.

          The Dragonriders of Pern
          by Anne McCaffrey
          dragonriders_of_pern__frontcover_large_P7pCOPk2KaQ2mG7.jpg
          A whim, basically. I remember reading a couple of her books when I was a kid, so I thought perhaps I could start at the beginning and see if it's good enough to commit myself to reading the entire series.

              Music is essential for the expression of non material ideals and energies. Music colors our surroundings with emanations from the highest vibrational fields. It allows us to escape all limitations in our thinking and very existence.

                  Currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Sumptuous. Need to resume Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, too.

                        I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                            That sucks, that was voted one of the best last year and I was thinking about checking it out. Too bad...

                              Started The Hobbit 2 days ago - it was on the bookshelf (my girlfriends side) and I was bored. Cant say I'm overly impressed so far, but it will be nice to say I've read it.
