What are you reading?

[Faust]

Cool.

Beardown, you should read that too maybe - Camus used a Lermontov quote about the book as an epigraph to The Fall.

Thx Faust.. Perhaps I should take on Goethes Faust too...

Re-reading American Psycho in preparation for The Informers and to balance it,

I'm reading Lunar Park right now...the opening meta-autobiographical section was really quite good, but halfway into the main plot I find that his writing has lost its edge compared to when his youth coincided with the times...in particular a lot of the dialogue sounds horribly out of touch. Might go check out The Informers and Glamorama after this. Actually Rules of Attraction is the only full length BEE I've read start to finish.

Received 5 out of 5 on Amazon, if that's anything to go by. Hey, I'll try anything :)

Hah, I read this before the previous post and though it was a dig at Proust.

/\ amazing. why not just take Valium?

Hmh, if I can get my hands on it, I might try it LOL.

Let's see how the first chapter ends then I'll weigh up my options

Just finished reading The Road, looking for something similar.

I did not like that book at all. Was bored 95% of the way through it and could not wait for the end. How did you find it? Good I guess if you want something similar.

I did find it a bit boring for majority and it did end quite abruptly, but I did enjoy the dystopian world that they lived in. I`d like a more eventful book that portrays that lifestyle (hopefully including road warriors that I could imagine wearing rick)
