    just finished gabriel garcia marquez's Autumn of the Patriarch. was a relatively difficult read and his flowing prose is hard follow at time, but very satisfying. trying to get through all his works.

            crtk, let us know how Violence is when you are done. I'm interested to hear.

            currently reading dialectic of enlightenment by horkheimer and adorno. my first time reading either author, so far so good.

                A sort of lord-of-the-flies-esque tale set in post-war Japan. Just finished it. Its a quick read. Highly recommended.

                        Yes I quite liked it exept for the last text about radio. Bo-ring.

                        It turns out that it is also my dog's favourite book, which in an amusing turn of events means that I no longer have it. Although to be honest it's the type of book I would have ended up giving away to someone worthy

                            • oh it's just fast and very very bloody novel from that Warren Ellis, fat one, author of Transmetropolitan, not violinist. classic procedural with that weird HST-esque twist.

                                Ah crap I thought it was by the musician. Less interested then.

                                I'm reading "Les diaboliques" by Barbey d'Aurevilly, and of course it is absolutely excelent and riveting. I got complimented for it by a handsome and elegant man on the tube today. Great success A+ would recommend
