Finishing Redemption Ark by Alistair Reynolds. I'm a bit of an unapologetic major SF geek. Next I'm going to read Empire the new novel about a near-future American Civil War by Orson Scott Card as part of this book group reading for April/Spring at this Science Fiction Message Board that I'm one of the admins at.

I don't know...reading Nausea didn't put me on a 'what's the meaning of life' trip or anything. I liked it but it didn't make me want to wade much deeper into the waters that the other French existentialist dudes did. Remeber, "Camus can do but Sartre is much smarter" hurhur.

Iain · 03.27.2007, 09:58 PM

I seem to remember Nausea being quite funny. It's been a while since I read it though..

I'm reading some HP Lovecraft short stories which is sort of like the equivalent to Jackie Collins for pseudo-intellectual geek boys.

Yes. You can rest your chin on your hand and gaze wistfully at your past self frozen in time forever.

Why is it most enjoyable posting on this forum at about 4am? What a pain in the arse. I'm going to bed. Goodnight chaps.

A biography of Primal Scream (the band, not the therapy). It's okay, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.

Dominic Sandbrook's White Heat, a history of Britain from 1964 - 1970. For 'study' purposes.

Wow. I just the other day finished reading that. Excellent book. It reminded me a lot of David Cronenberg's film Shivers.
