Just finished re-reading A Clockwork Orange.

Am now about halfway into Schultz and Peanuts. Can't quite decide if I'm bored with it; there's just enough fascination with his life to keep me going, but it can get a little slow.

Have also been sporadically re-reading a so-so bio of James Dean from the 1970s by David Dalton.

For some reason, I've got it in my head that I want to re-read Rabbit, Run by John Updike, but I can't find my personal copy. A run to the library is in order.

I'm in the middle of Franny & Zooey now. Crime and Punishment is next on the list. There are so many of the classic books that I haven't read.

What is that? A biography? I picked up a book of plays by Harold Pinter at a bookstore once and read one, and it was so good I remembered his name, but I assumed he was relatively unknown so I never really looked him up.

Yeah, it's a biography that's just been updated and re-released after his death. He's a bit of a hero of mine.

Huh. I had really thought I stumbled upon some amazing obscure playwright at the time, but forgot about him until just now. I'm still going to have to read more of his stuff.

I bought Franny and Zooey and The Great Shark Hunt today. I'm going to finish the Sherlock Holmes stuff before I start those, which will take about 3 days.

Since his now infamous Nobel Prize acceptance speech just before his death his fame as a playwright has been largely eclipsed by his anti-War stance. But you still can't beat his plays like The Homecoming, The Dumb Waiter and The Birthday Party. That he died on Christmas Eve genuinely depressed me.

well the economic collapse already came exactly like he predicted (its a 2006 book) but he's got long term strategies cuz things won't end here. HIGHLY recommended.

long story short: the dollar is going down the sewer, invest in gold, foreign stocks, etc.

(have you seen those ads of companies that offer to buy gold, on tv? they know what the fuck's up)

I just bought Rushdie's Midnight's Children and Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude. Add that to Absalom, Absalom! and this year's going to be a nice study in magic realism.

I'm in the middle of Franny and Zooey right now. It's no Catcher In The Rye, but it's good.
