What are you reading now?

[Lady for Now]

This might have been asked a thousand times but what is everyone reading now? I'm read Jupiter's Travels by Ted Simon. Its a true story about a guy who drives around the world on his motorcycle. It started out a bit slow but I'm really enjoying the bit where he is in Africa. Anyone else?

Now starting to read Clinton Heylon's Babylon's Burning, a history of Punk. Looks meaty.

I wish I had the original (there are only 2 original copies signed by MS, one was owned by Lord Byron, the 2nd one was recently found by a bookshop owner!!!!!).....

A bookshop- the luck of fools!! Yours has a nice cover. I had the Marvel edition with all of those B&W Berni Wrightson illustrations. Gorgeous, but I never could finish it.

The Other Hollywood (2005), by Legs McNeil, Jennifer Osbourne

This is like Please Kill Me in that it's an oral history, but this one focuses on the history of the porn industry.

Terry Brooks of TB & the Strange, a very unreal psych rock band, wrote this book...a must:):)

Just finished 2 little blowdarts, the longest is 165p.

That would be Anthony Bourdain's The Bobby Gold Stories, which follows the life of Gold over the years as he's busted for drugs, sent to prison, out working as muscle, and falling in love with a chef. As well crafted as his other books, and naturally it has a bit of kitchen stuff in it.

The other is J.G Ballard's Running Wild, which is a sort of mystery. In a small (13 families) gated community someone has killed all of the adults and spirited away all of the children. Also very good.
