White Noise had sat on my 'to be read' list for ages 'til I found it in a charity shop for £1.99. Finished it a couple of days ago and thought it was great. The way it's structured around 'The Airborne Toxic Event' means it's probably worth a second read as well to better appreciate all the subtle changes. While waiting for my next couple of purchases to arrive I've gone back to the coffee table for a flick through this  Excellent book and it cost less than a fiver in HMV a while back. |

Our band could be your life Always It is my bible "Like" I'm reading the BYO book which is good but a bit confusing at points because it's never clear which Stern brother is writing which section! Also reading Dan Simmons 'The Terror', some Peter Watts short stories, re-reading the Scott Pilgrim comics, and a couple of politics / economics books ('The Meaning of David Cameron' and 'The Enigma of Capital & the Crises of Capitalism'). |

I've been reading the Kick-Ass graphic novel recently, not seen the film yet, but I doubt it'll be as good as this.

I read the comic from when issue one came out, end of 2007 time, so I was expecting to be dissapointed with the film, having spent so long with the original material. Honestly wasn't, the film is different but it is a brilliant film! I saw it twice in the cinema, a rare feat for me. recently read: THINGS FALL APART by Chinua Achebe and THE OUTSIDER by Albert Camus between books right now so on some Salinger short stories. |

The Outsider is great , definitely one of my favourites. I've actually just started Camus' The Plague, about 100 pages in and so far so good.
Recently read
Haruki Murakami - A Wild Sheep Chase
Dostoyevsky - Notes From Underground
Tao Lin - Eeeee Eee Eeee
Would recommend them all except 'Eeeee Eee Eeee' as it's pretty much just 200 pages of pop culture references and GCSE philosophy. Hipster trash.

I enjoyed 'The Plague', but that and 'The Outsider' are the only fiction novels I've read of his. Have you checked out much of his non-fiction work? 'The Myth of Sisyphus' and 'Reflections on the Guillotine' are both stand-out, I find myself re-reading them in full or certain sections rather often. |

I was considering buying the death of grass the other day when I was in canterbury, but decided I had enough course reading to do... Another to add to the 'to read list' I also finished Norwegian Wood the other day, my first experience of Murakami and really enjoyed it. |
