I'm probably halfway through American Psycho and I'm really liking it. Never read it before or even seen the movie.

But I've been really stressed at work for some time now and on my way home today I had to stop and buy a new pocket knife. I told myself it's for gripping boards....

This one's also waiting to be read, found it in the bargain bin and it seemed good for some laughs

I just started this after years of saying to myself "I should read Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy" and then completely forgetting about it. I really like it so far

The Book of Negroes(in the US it was released as Someone Knows My Name).  It's really, really good.


Right now I'm reading a book about Al Jazeera.  It's good so far.

An interesting read up until the Doors actually start making music. Never knew Jim was such a young scholar.

Bauhaus is one of my favourite movements, that should be a pretty excellent read.

Any book written by Mark "Chopper" Read .An Australiain criminal/hitman/tourture artist/comedian . This man is not right in the head and is a complete phsicopath but is funny as fuck , all his books are stories from his life . Hes also had a movie mad about him called "Chopper" . Had someone cut his ears off in jail so he could be transfered to another jail .

i thought I would recommend what are pretty much my favourite books to read ever. 

Basically, the Adrian Mole Chronicles.  They are the fictional diaries of a young man growing up in the midlands in the UK
starting in the early 80's when he is 13 3/4 and ending (so far around 40) with prostate cancer.  Funniest best books ever, depending
on how you buy them there are about 10 but they have been combined in various forms.  here is a chart from wikipedia

Fuck yes! The first two are the definitive books of my late pre-teen years. Almost every diary entry is a gem, and so many unforgettable characters.

I've only read True Confessions* and watched the Cappucino Years but those first two books were seriously special and captured the 80's for me along with being some of the funniest I've ever read.


*The Margaret Thatcher childhood diary excerpts are hilarious as well...

The last two, Weapons of Mass Destruction and The Prostate Years are really good too.  I don't know how she writes that character
so well.  I have reread all of them multiple times.  Ah, Nigel, Pandora and Barry Kent
