The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
how did you like it? I'm reading it now, and I like it a lot... but sometimes I don't understand the 70's British references. |

Only thing I've read in the last 5 years or so is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Wonderland twice, it's the only thing I love enough.

Whoa, you never re-read books? I have read every book on my shelf at least twice, (well, excluding two: one I just got and the other one I hated) and I don't know how I could live if I didn't!

There has to be quite some time between readings, but I'll re-read stuff that I really liked. I have two copies of Wonderland and read both of those a couple times, other than that I really only have the Vampire Chronicles. I think I read Interview and Vampire Lestat twice, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Odyssey. I just never spend enough time reading, usually it's short stories or mythology. I have read through a legends and myths book a few times, and the collected works of Poe.

The Oresteia
Revenge by Laura Blumenfeld
Both recomended.
I should be reading One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest (have only seen the stage production), Fight Club, and Il Principo, but I have little time.
All my other books have been read and reread to death.

After a couple of longish train journeys this weekend:
Irvine Welsh - Glue (possibly not as good as Filth but certainly easier to read, and with a cast of genuinely likeable characters; I like Welsh's stuff pretty good, but a lot of his characters are morally bankrupt bampots that it can be quite difficult to like (and resultantly empathise with)).
Iain Banks - The Business (very well-written, especially considering he's writing as a woman (Canal Dreams did not do well from this), but it seems extremely short on content, almost like an extended short story).
Since getting back:
Michael Heatley - John Peel: A Life In Music
William Burroughs - Naked Lunch (I'm too poor for new books for the most part, and it'd been ages since I read this)
Edgar Allen Poe - Talls Of Suspense (anthology edition I found at the bottom of a box; looks like one of the dozens of ex-library books I bought at university, which means it's sat, unread, at the bottom of this box, for at least four years. I can see why; winsome goths and sweaty virgins go mental for Poe but he's fucking boring).
Cervantes - Don Quixote (I've been trying to finish this fucking book for like two years. It's really good, but you do need to read a bit of it before you get the swing of the language, at which point it becomes screamingly funny and genuinely touching in places. Problem is I keep reading a couple of hundred pages and then getting distracted, and when I come back to it nothing makes sense anymore).
Comics-wise:
Steven T. Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen - It's A Bird (just got this back after lending it to a mate for ages; still very good)
Robert Kirkman/Charlie Adlard/Cliff Rathburn - The Walking Dead vol 2-7 (nice, throwaway, lightweight time-fillers; I'm looking forward to finally seeing the TV series, hence the re-read)
Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan - DEMO vol 2 issues 1-4 (not as good as the first volume, but still better than almost everything else)
Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan - DEMO vol 1 (because it's better)
Brian Wood and Ricardo Burchielli - DMZ vol 1-5 (because of reading DEMO, really)
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips - Sleeper (it'd been awhile)
Plus like twenty webcomics a day but I cannae be arsed to list them.

Eww, Harry Potter.
No offense, but I didn't like it much. The only time I read it was when I was epic bored on holidays. I much prefer Warriors.
