I just began reading The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry.
Pretty good so far, only in the 1st chapter, but I love the imagery that he uses to describe small town living.
What Books are you reading?

just finished Cloudsplitter (by Russell Banks). it's the fictional account of Owen Brown's involvement in the raid on Harper's Ferry. it was a beast to get through (750+pages), but i enjoyed it. i got my fix for religious fanaticism. incredibly interesting in light of all the world's recent terrorism, as john brown's raid can be categorized as one of the historically significant attacks based on conviction.

I just adore that bookThe Little Prince (i'm really 8 you know)
It's been my favorite book in the world since i was 6 years old when my mom read it to me.
I'm currently reading 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' (Douglas Adams) for the 2nd time out of excitement for the movie next month
No longer a mis(s)anthrope.

Currently:
"Fear and Loathing in America"
Just finished:
Jose Canseco's "Juiced"
"Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs" by Chuck Klosterman.
Both I would recommend highly for very different reasons.

-trunkspaceAll the time when I tell people what I do they say, "Oh I don't understand art, I can't even draw." (or worse, "I only like art I can understand.") Well, ya know what, I don't know how to make a car, but I sure appreciate being able to drive one.
