Just finished rereading The Impossible by Georges Bataille.  Definitely made a lot more sense this time, but there is still a lot that I felt didn't sink in.  Reading The Silence by Jens Bjoerneboe right now to finish up The History of Bestiality.  I'm only about 20 pages into it, but it already feels a lot more concrete and stark than the first two volumes.  Interested to see if that stays true as it starts to delve into the actual protocols.

His essay about television and post modern American lit is astounding. I wish I'd come to his work sooner.

You started with a great collection.  I like his non-fiction pieces a lot better than his fiction.  His short stories and first novel are no where near as good as they are made out to be.

Started the devil all the time(Polluck) a long time ago and took a hiatus to continue my life of debauchery. Came back to it and it is great. Definitely movie material in the right morbid mind. I usually go to the good ol Bukowski in times of madness and this book just seems real. In the best kind of fucked up way

Thorough work. Really depressing read.

Crazy, I just started No Logo two nights ago. I'll have to check this out next.

Right now I'm reading Primitve mythology by Joseph Campbell. Man I thought the Power of Myth hurt my brain. This is not a easy read but so worth it.

RIP Joseph Campbell

Some recent good reads...

Atlas Shrugged (Rand) -> pretty epic. one of my favorite novels ever.
The Fourth Turning
Prometheus Rising (Robert Anton Wilson) -> made a bunch of my friends read it because it's an easy intro to psych and getting "out of the box"
Mind Lines (Michael Hall) -> fuck I've gotta re-read this shit to fully integrate it
The Ethical Slut -> got a new perspective on sex and open relationships...
Models (Mark Manson) -> one of the best books on pickup/seduction I've read.
Radical Honesty (Brad Blanton) -> pick it up, will change your life.

I just ordered:
Practically Shameless (Barry)... it's about working with your "shadow" as Carl Jung talked about. I read the intro and first chapter and it's hit home already.
Turtles All The Way Down (John Grinder)... a book about psychology and NLP if anyone's familiar with that... apparently a must read. pretty excited to get these two books soon.

This was one of the most noteworthy books I read in 2014. Really powerful stuff.

Good list. If you/ or anyone is interested in doing a book trade, i'd be happy to mail some stuff off.

I just finished Cuck Palhniuk's 'Invisable Monsters'. Quite dark to read over xmas. If you're interested in transgender studies and people getting fucked up, this is could be a winner.

Currently reading:

Drive - Daniel H. Pink
Food of the Gods - Terence McKenna (druggggssss)
What Makes a Great Exhibtion? - Marincola
Consider the Lobster - David Foster Wallace

oh and im struggling through The Sound and Fury. fucking garbage, sorry.

This is really good and funny so far. I'm enjoying revisiting this cast of lovable scumbags now that they're all early middle aged.

Nin is the only author i'm familiar with, I was on a trip abroad without weed and her photo on the cover of one of her books drew me in.  I went on to read a bunch of her stuff.  Its inspiring how objective she is.

A soft spot for Ayn Rand tends to be a huge red flag. I'm finishing Journey to the End of the Night by Celine now, moving on to Despair by Nabokov.

 My favorite psychoanalyst and social theorist. This book questions the origin of ethics and religion and their true meaning. A very good successor of Engels' "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"
