Books - What are you reading?

just finished victor pelevin's - the clay machine gun, not sure about it, not enough happens, too much internal philosophsing, is the lead character mad, is he sane? Who fucking cares, was all I could think.

then fairly ran trhrough Richard price's Samaritan. He is very good, great turn of phrase, able to find the things that make us squirm and two great main characters, bound by family responsibilities and internal desires. Interesting structure, flashbacky without being obtrusively so, leading you to the denoument. Glad I picked it up.

ps price was part of that cadre of american novelists who got roped into writing the wire, alongside denis lehane, george p pelecanos and a couple of others..

Frankfurt School critical theory.

Fun times.

Im on this today:

Hard.

The best one I think.
Vikings page is especially tricky.

Langman's Medical Embryology,
Rang and Dale's Pharmacology,
Sherwood's Human Physiology- from cells to systems,
have been rocking my world recently.
Langmans has some epic pics of deformity and disease of embryos.

just read naive. super, thought it was excellent although a bit too familiar.

any recommendations of similar stuff would be good.

@soper Rang and Dale is a cracker, also like Vanders or Martini for physiology

Not read much yet but I'm enjoying it.

Any Dick fans here?

This last one isn't so much reading as looking at,

which is quite the juxtaposition I must say!

going to try and do more reading when I get back to london, got back into the habit on the travels and I've got a shitload of books sitting unread on the shelves, well they will be on the shelves when I get them out of storage. And doing a bit of reading at home, will get me off spending too much time aimlessly surfing the internet..
book reading ahoy.

currently reading angry white pajamas, about a guy who takes up aikido in japan then does this mental year long japanese riot police aikido training course. Not sure whether I bought it because it was about aikido, which I plan to take up in the back end of this year, or just an interesting read about martial arts..

Just started The Blind Watchmaker

Choice.. Need to pop that on the list (off to Foyles Brave goes)

Really need to go through and finish off a load of books I abandoned three quarters of the way in, feel bad for them. Also need to make time for all 13 hours of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, might have to set aside a day and just hammer the balls off it.

So many books.. So little time.

Just started on the blind watchmaker

Christ, why do you always have to start fights with the disabled?

So many books.. So little time.

So many books... so little interest.
