--- Quote from: Simulacra ---okay, just finished "Burning Chrome" and next is a toss up between "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King or St. Augustines "Confessions"  help me out kids, do I want mindless pulp fiction fluff or a mental exercise in theological speculation?

edit: I think I might have just broken the English language
--- End quote ---


I vote for Wolves of the Calla, assuming you haven't finished that whole series- I rather enjoyed the ending, so I would have to point you in the direection of reading the rest.

Simulacra: I'll suggest Wolves of the Calla, assuming you have read the previous 4 books in the series.  If not then it will suck.   Also if you like the gunslinger "world/mythos/whatever" check out http://www.thedarktower.net.  This would be handy too: http://www.thedarktower.net/connections/roadmap

I just finished Fight Club yesterday.  mrjjbobo is pretty spot on with his statement.  If you watched the movie then it should be required to read the book.  Though the ending did throw me a little.

Just started Stephen King's It this morning.  I'm on a big King kick right now.  Picked up several hardbacks in great shape for $3 a pop.  I'm so happy, I do the dance of joy!

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I am reading Oriana Fallaci - A Man, which is the size of a brick and written really close-knitted, and she writes dialog like this hey-my-name-is-Oriana. I am intrigued :)

And I am also about to embark on a childrens book called The Shamer's Daughter by Lene Kaaberbøl. It's supposed to be good... Just finished The Earth and The Heavens by Ebbe Kløvedal(the equivalent of Rivendell in english, he took name after the 70' community he lived in. Lucky for him, he did it after they changed the name from Maos Lyst(Mao's Lust/Craving) Reich.
It was good, it was mostly about the city Alexandria, where a filosopher called Hypatia was killed and her image of the city was created and called Hypathea and so on, it's a bit complicated.

Switchblade:
