What are you reading?

Post by jamescavinss »

I just got started on "Wolves Of The Calla," the fifth Dark Tower book by Stephen King. I read the previous four books back to back right before this, so I'm in full-on Gunslinger mode. I'm hoping this new book upholds the high standards set by the previous ones.

Right now I'm reading The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon.

It's a wonderfully written book, very psychedelic and fluid. I like to think of what I'm reading as if I'm watching a watercolor painting develop.

Pynchon has a wonderful way of creating these crazy scenarios, where it's hard to understand whats going on, until you've read to the end of a chapter or page. Wonderful stuff.

I'm also reading The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. It's a bit more difficult to follow.

When you are getting your butt kicked on a game or getting frustrated take a 15min break. And most of all Remember it's just a game.

Ditto.
When I'm not reading college texts, I'm reading "I Robot" by Isaac Asimov. So far, a damn good novel.

I've never read the Bridge Trilogy. Any good?
(I'm now working my way through Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Brothers Karasimov (<- however you spell that), and Kafka on the shore. All good so far, although I wouldn't really recommend Kafka on the Shore. It's a little too twisted, and I'm not sure I'll finish it.)

I'm reading the newspaper, it says I will die of cancer by the time I'm 60. Good thing that gives me plenty of time to videogame like crazy before I croak!
