Horror Times Ten edited by Alden H. Norton. A conscientious attempt to collect stories that haven't anthologized before. Last night finished Frankenstein. Highly recommended.

i bought that book awhile ago...it was well written...very sad. but it was good.

The Complete Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe.

The Last Season, by Phil Jackson – the story of the 2003-2004 Lakers season. I love basketball books, and appreciate Jackson’s view of the team as something that the individual has to lose himself in in order to find greatness. I’ll be curious to see where this goes (though, of course, I know the Lakers didn’t win that year).

The Year of Magical Thinking, by Joan Didion – Reading this for a class and am finding the writing so wonderful in its mechanics that it’s a joy to read, even if the subject matter is very heavy indeed. This writing feels light and easy and wonderful.

I just finished Cormac McCarthey's The Road

Best book I've read in a looooooong time. Really amazing. It reads like a stacato epic poem. Profound and elegaic. Stunning, upsetting stuff.

Just started Suspiria de Profundis by Thomas de Quincey - doing research for a certain prequel;)

excellent, excellent book. one of the best i've read in the past five years or more.

seeing the film should be interesting, although john hillcoat's doing it, and he did an incredible job with the proposition (which i feel pretty safe assuming you thought was awesome, yes?). supposedly he's staying true to mccarthy's intent, and the stills i've seen look pretty great:
