Post Punk Kitchen Forum

I just finished punk land, it was a quick/ fun read and toally ripped off the layout of breakfast of champions. There were a lot of "insider" punk references that i really enjoyed and some really bizarre objects/ scenes.

How so? I thought it was slow, but I loved it.

After finishing Double Indemnity, it was right onto his The Postman Always Rings Twice. Total hard-boiled intensity.

watchmen by alan moore
and
haunted by chuck palahniuk

I just got Ender's Game and Breakfast at Tiffany's from the library. So, I will probably read those.

I'm not reading anything for fun right now. . . LAME, I know, but I've been busy (and, you know, wasting time on the PPK. . . ), but I started Jonathan Lethem's Chronic City for my philosophy class. I wouldn't have picked it on my own, but it's pretty engrossing, so far.

Spain's Cause Was Mine by frank rubin. I love reading about the Spanish civil war

I just started The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness.

Under the Banner of Heaven. This is SUCH an interesting book!

Really enjoyed The Likeness. Glad to hear her next one is also awesome. For some reason I can't get on the wait list at the library for it. Her books freak me out. I just want to finish them so I won't be freaked out anymore!
Starting Every Man in This Village is a Liar by Megan Stack.

Just finished Warm Bodies and about to begin Brave New World.

Alias Grace, finally getting around to it, I bought it in August.

I'm in the middle of lots of books but I haven't really got any good reading momentum up lately (you know what I mean, where you just read a few pages on the bus here and there and then forget what you read by the next time you pick up the book. I picked up Ethics into Action: Henry Spira and the Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer today and I'm pretty psyched to read it.

I'm finally getting around to reading 1984 - so far it's kind of like going to a foreign country where you don't know anything about how they live. This book is giving me culture shock.
I love the protagonist, though, and that he is a very thoughtful, questioning character - having these intuitions and thoughts that things just aren't right, but feeling so unsure of himself at the same time. I relate so much. We're totally bonding.

I love Haunted. It might be my favourite Chuck.

I loved 1984! A very interesting book.
Right now I'm reading 'The Basic Eight' by Daniel Handler. Just a book I got off a bargain books section, it seems pretty good so far though.

I just read The Handmaid's Tale. I liked it.

Oh, I love The Basic Eight and I haven't read it in years. Thanks for the reminder!

Farm Sanctuary. It is really good!

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I am such a sucker for fiction with footnotes.

Never Let Me Go-Kazuo Ishiguro.

He's my current author obsession. I would read his day planner.

I started Our Noise-The Story of Merge Records by Cook, McCaughan & Ballance

It'd be cool/helpful if people would also always add the authors and not just the titles of the books.

Agreed. That book is fantastic. Heard they're (unfortunately) making it into a movie.

Ishiguro has been quoted as saying he thinks the movie is great, so hopefully his fans will agree. I also love his books. The Unconsoled in particular is one of the craziest things I've ever read.

That book is fascinating. I started reading this a few summers ago. . . I would go to Borders every few days and just read chunks of it there, instead of actually buying it. I need to get around to finishing it.
