I just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, which I think, makes me come full circle on that venture. Sadness.

A Dirty War: A Russian Reporter in Chechnya by Anna Politkovskaya.

an excellent read. Chechnya sounds like a right fucking shithole. Russia too.

About to start this now.

This made me feel very uneasy, but was pretty compelling

Reading Don DeLillo's Mao II. I'm pretty gripped by it. I thought I was done with DeLillo after chucking Cosmopolitan across the room after about ten pages. Maybe I'm just really impressed by this because I've recently read a slew of quite average books.

I've also got The Collected Stories of Flannery O'Connor going - grotesquely comic stuff. I think Magnus Mills is the only other fiction writer that could make me laugh out loud so much.

i didnt think much of Mao II at all. i gave up on him after that (then read Falling Man shortly after and thought it wasnt too bad).

im doing hardly any reading these days

Yeah, I rewatched Kicking & Screaming there the other week. *Sings "in this heaaaaart of darknessssss." I went to see Greenberg the other night. Big Cassavetes influence but the resolve is weak in a now that's what I call American indie! flavoured way.
And also I've been meaning to watch the commentary of Barcelona, with Eigeman and Stillman. I'm still hoping Whit Stillman is going to mount a comeback. Three fuckin' amazing wordy witty masterpieces in eight years and the guy just drops right off the planet.

I'll change my avatar back just for you!

I read that when I was over at Primavera there a few weeks ago. So there.

Thomas Hardy's - The Mayor Of Casterbridge. Finished this book last week , absolutely brilliant un-put-down-able from start to finish. Hardy's development of characters, the way he builds up this incredible story is astonishing. If their is a better tragic writer out there I will eat my hat. One of the best books I have ever read and that is a lot of books.

I'm reading this right now. It's not the best, after the initial conceit of turning the folk song into a proper story the author seems to be floundering

I think I may only have purchased it because of the pretty girl on the cover
