Re-reading Fight Club by Chuck Palanhuik. I thought it was a load of pretentious po-mo crap the first time I read it and put it down half way through, but the film has inspired me to read it again...

What does po-mo mean? I have no idea.

Post-modernist, the buzzword of the decade.

I think it's a great book, actually. A big FU to the modern male. To give you more incentive to finish the book - the film left out the very important last chapter.
Just like Cubrick left out the last chapter of the Clockwork Orange.

Cool beans.

The film was very similar to something like A Clockwork Orange or Trainspotting. I'm looking forward to seeing how the book will measure up...

[pradaesk]

elfriede jelinek - lust

 

[rosada]

1984 - George Orwell. Again. This is my absolute favorite book.

 

[Misako]

Heart of Darkness (again).

 

[modelmama]

Just purchased Running with Scissor by Augusten Burroughs this afternoon. Strange but interesting read ( and funny). Im only on page 8 though.

 

[sohoxchic]

shopaholic and sister

 

[SCBlondie]

^I bought that and got to page 60, but than I read an article in Entertainment Weekly yesterday about Jay IcInnerly (I think thats right) and ran to the library and got Bright Lights, Big City. I'm halfway done with the latter so I'll have to finish shopaholic later.

100 strokes of the brush before bed.

 

[cessylicious]

i just read four books last week:

by the river of piedra i sat and wept (paulo coelho)
second helpings (Megan McCafferty)
Bergerdorff Blonde (Plum Skyes)
Shopaholic (Sophie Kinsella)

am now reading PS I Love You (Cecelia Ahern)

 

[saturnine]

The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown.

I think the writing style and the story so far are fairly mediocre, but the facts are so fascinating, I never knew half of those things about religion and Paris.

" better than beauty... a guide to charm"
by helen valentine and alice thompson

 

[pradaesk]

today i began reading virginia woolf "mrs. dalloway".

 

[beiby]

A book by Rennie Airth. I'll probably read the whole book because I don't like to finish half-way. It's not that great of a book. I want to read The Da Vinci code because I've heard so much about it so that it's what I'll buy next.
