Yikes. I read like crazy. David Sederis is amazing. I almost went to go see him when he was in Akron.

I have Only Revolutions, but haven't started reading it yet. I have read House of Leaves. One of my favorate books.

I am currently reading "Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age!" by Kenzaburo Oe. It is amazing, especially if you like poetry.

I get to see David this April! It's going to be amazing, I'm sure. Maybe you'll catch him on a return visit.

Sounds like you've got quite a few interesting reads going on. :)

Norwood is a Mid-2010 15 inch MacBook Pro with 10.11.1.
I'm currently translating a book of short stories called La muerte hizo su agosto by Ildefonso-Manuel Gil for my senior thesis. Since I am a huge language dork, I'm actually having a lot of fun with it. :flower:

Keep reading it. It is VERY weird, but equally good.

Agreed, I love that book - but it's definitely not for everyone. You need to be ready for a different reading experience and I can see that it will simply annoy some people. My copy has just finished doing the rounds with friends and family so I've added it to the book queue in my head for a second reading soon.





Edit: Haha! Didn't even realise I'd already posted in this thread, thought it was new...

In that case a recent one I enjoyed is "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris. :bomb:

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to take the (urine) but would recommend this for anyone who's interested in religion, wether you're religious or not.
