Just picked up a copy of Catch 22. Read a chapter and I'm still not sure about it. Very strange book.

Anyone read it?

The Heroin Diaries
Hmm. Nikki Sixx, eh? Sounds like a play on Jim Carroll's 'The Basketball Diaries.'  Read that one years ago, maybe high school? Liked it. I think he died in the last year, or two.  ???

Mien Kampf. It's not really what I thought. It's the ramblings of a man who is hell bent on power and nationalism.

Sorry, yeah, the misspelling was a little Busch league on my part. Still, a little hard to read so far, a little scatter brained, but I'm only 100 or so pages in.

Just finished Annie Proulx's first book, 'Heart Songs.' A collection of short stories - a prose form I usually don't care for - that even I can see already shows Proulx's mastery. She uses a few too many adjectives/adverbs, but she writes about place (Maine, Vermont) and people (flinty old, shallow rich) with such care and detail that I was swept along. Recommended.

Apparently NS died twice, but is still alive.

I think I saw a movie called The Basketball Diaries.....w/Leo Decaprio?  I remember it was very good.

Just spent $44 at the used book store,  :D Picked up 6 James Lee Burke novels, a couple Robicheuax and the first 3 Billy Bob Holland books. I have already finished the Hollands, pretty good stuff.
  I also bought a couple Lee Child Reacher Novels and a Vince Flynn/ Mitch Rapp to fill up the gaps.

Just finished Harry Crews' 'A Childhood: the biography of a place.'  Whoa. Guy grew up in Bacon County, Georgia, son of a tenant farmer, and during the Depression. Read this book not only for his excellent writing, but for a little perspective on your own self-absorbed life. Highly recommended!!!
