Not a good idea to read this over two 10 hr night bus trips a day apart, then work straight after getting home at 6am? We'll see... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74121534 to: Slapstick (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut

Pretty impressive collection. You get a little weighed under by relentlessness of general downward spiral of most of the excerpts, but I kept going to the author index and going "who is that author again?" "why have I not taken this in before?". Because most of the writing is good or great, it becomes really difficult remembering who is who. I liked Cookie Mueller's writing a lot. Very expressive and funny. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74120911 Mira's review of Henry and June: From "A Journal of Love" - The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin (1931-1932)
by Anaïs Nin

That shit is haunting me...I know its all over mugtext. Damn. I wish I had dressed like Cave for halloween...I think I could get away with it bahahaha. I was too sick though and missed going to the church party as William Wallace...
I also missed some other stuff...I love sabotaging my own contentment, it feels great.
Not much else, I left a long rambling message on your phone. It included severe encouragement to you and musings to myself. Take that Nin. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74483517 Natalie's review of Jesus' Son: Stories

by Dominique Laporte

I know, Tanya told me. That is amazing news!
Nice job with the helpful word...surely you can ego-spin something up. C'mon I know you got it in you...
You do play rad shows. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59808658 to: Ghost in the Machine (Piper) by Arthur Koestler
bookshelves: part-read
This was working up to be a pretty interesting analysis of the mind and its layers of emotional and logical tendencies...it just took so long to get anywhere and as soon as the tables and diagrams came out, I lost interest.

In terms of being about human impulse to violence, or an ancestral memory of primitive behaviour, I might give it another go one day...
One thing I think makes me start books like this is the debate that repression might induce primitive outbursts, or the plastic environments and time-schedules we put ourselves in frustrate our desire for action and complication in life. That 'thing' that can be missing sometimes...
It definitely explains how unhinged people can be instead of just the good ol celebratory madness. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74121115 Under the Skin (Paperback) by Michel Faber
