Day 50: Reading List

[itasianinvasion]

I’m out of town, doing family stuff, and am currently using my cell phone to link myself to the internet.  Hopefully it won’t crap out on me.  Anyway, I’m writing my daily entries, but they may have to wait to be uploaded on Monday should this prove unreliable.

Here’s a list of things you should be reading:

“American Shaolin” by Matthew Polly - You

Slaughterhouse Five and The Art of Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance. Kind of in the middle of both, but I really like them. Zen is a little heavy, and I have to force myself to read it really slow, or else I'll miss things.

Jitterbug Perfume. Incredibly well written. Equal parts Immortality, Gods, Perfume, and Sex. Lots of sex. Graphic without being vulgar, and one of the best books I've ever read.

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, which is about living in Disneyworld in the future where death has been surpassed by technology and scarcity is a thing of the past. It's weird as fuck and hard to follow but incredibly endearing in a weird way.
Also, after years and years of just not giving a shit I have started reading Preacher and Hellboy.

Right.
