    I do most of my reading at work during breaks and lunch. Finished Hunter Thompson's stint with the Hell's Angels and am halfway done with his shenanigans in Vegas. Gonna' finish it up with some Buk.


    When I first saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on the big screen, I had never heard of Hunter and was completely lost in the movie, but did have a big laugh, and still do to this day when I see it on YouTube, at the "Too Much Adrenochrome" scene.

    You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.

        "Foxtrot" series of comic style books by Bill Amend

        The old Alfred Hitchcock and the three investigators books from the 1960's or 1970's...They're made for kids/teenagers, but they really are cool to read

        Re-read Steven King's "IT" again

        "Reminisce" magazine

          I love those Three Investigators books I devoured all of those (and all of the Hardy Boys) books I could get my hands on as a kid.

            I devoured the Three Investigators in fourth grade. I remember wanting a secret hideout like they had so badly!

              I prefer to listen. Right now I'm about 40% into Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett and narrated by Richard Ferrone. Pretty good stuff.

                  Anymore I'm 99% audiobook.
                  Right now I'm about half way through The Warmth of Other Suns

                  Luckily with my job I'm able to have an earbud in pretty much the entire shift so I tend to devour audiobooks and podcasts.

                      Yeah, I devour audiobooks myself, currently listening to a book by Alan Alda about communication. I thought it would be too novel but he has some interesting observations and is quite serious on the matter.

                        Comics, mostly. The post-holiday pile that I'm working my way through ---

                        Marc Bell's Hot Potatoe: Fine Ahtwerks: 2001-2008, by Marc Bell; DINOMANIA: The Lost Art of Winsor McCay, the Secret Origins of King Kong, and the Urge to Destroy New York, by Ulrich Merkl (a tome of awe-inspiring beauty!); Paper Girls Deluxe Edition Volume 1, by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chang; and Frank in the 3rd Dimension, by Jim Woodring and Charles Bernard.

                        Dinomania is fulla text, but plenty of comix and illustrations, too. Last 'word book' I listened to was Mark Frost's Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier. Skimmed along to the PDF, though.

                        Last one I read oldenstyle was The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington:

                        What a magical lady she was!

                          Brian that Alan Alda book was fantastic! I do a ton of science outreach and his insights are spot on. Loved that one!

                                Currently reading Journeys through Dreamtime: Oceanian Myth, part of the Time Life Myth and Mankind series.



                                I love mythology of all sorts, and I have always been fascinated by Australian Aboriginal myths though I don't know a whole lot about them.
