Yeah, it’s true. They just seriously misrepresent the guy when they do that. He’s much more calm and level-headed than those remarks make him seem.
“The Siege of Vienna” by John Stoye…
Oh and Søren Kierkegaard “Dagbøger i Udvalg 1834-1846”
“Assegai” by Wilbur Smith. My son is in the publishing business and we get all our books for cost less 20%.
“The Memoirs of Francois Vidocq.” Vidocq was a criminal turned detective who became the chief of the Paris police force and was supposedly the inspiration for Poe’s seminal detective stories. Just started this one, but it’s interesting reading thus far…
C. August Dupin, yes? And he in turn was the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. I read all of those years ago. They were a lot of fun.
@Xander: That’s right. I re-read the Poe stories every now and then, and they’re always enjoyable. It’s been awhile since I read the Holmes canon, but it might be about time to revisit them.
The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers.
“Sick Puppy” by Carl Hiaasen
“The Associate” by John Grisham
A crazy article in a back copy of nat geo about future textiles. Damn it’s amazing to think of how much technology has jumped and how much more it will. Oh and pol pot was definatly in Cambodia. I know because I just rewatched “swimming to cambodia”.
Just finished “Cocaine Nights” by JG Ballard and now feasting my eyes on “The Matlock Paper” by Robert Ludlum. After reading an early posting on the G20, I am sure the militant anarchists among you will find JG Ballard somewhat comforting. xx
Jg Ballard is awesome.
@ld, I read “The Matlock Paper” twice. I love Robert Ludlum’s books
“Practical Demon Keeping” -Christopher MooreChristopher Moore
The portrait of Dorian Gray by Wilde. Just finished it - utter garbage. I read the transcript of his trial in the library at Scotland Yard, he certainly talked himself into a prsion sentence, poor guy.
Too clever for his own good.
Fishing for Stars by Bryce Courtenay
“Basket Case” by Carl Hiaasen
Book 7 of the Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan)
