I finished Apocalypse Culture just recently and have been interested in checking out some other Feral House publications. I'm also interested in checking out The Omnivore's Dilema. The author was on the Colbert Report a while back and had some interesting things to say about how our diets are (d)evolving. I'm also reading Dante's Divine Comedy again, although this particular translation is a bit dissapointing so far. the omnivores dilemma is awesome! I just finished it, and if you follow michael pollan, then the stuff with following the cow through its life cycle and asessing all the resources used to raise it will not be news to you. I would suggest reading the botany of desire as well if you havent read it yet. some books ive been reading/read recently: Not in His Image- John Lash Shamans- Mircea Eliade tibetan book of living and dying - sogyal rimpoche the mayan factor- jose aguelles i also want to check out Arguelles' new book Time and the Technosphere |

Recently I've read some pretty great stuff though: Tom Perotta "Little Children' (10x better than the movie) James Baldwin "Go Tell it on the Mountain" John Fante "Full of Life" John Fante "1939 Was a bad Year" Charles Bukowski "Factotum" Bukowski Rules!!!! Go rent Barfly with Mickey Rourke. Loosely based on Charles. I have the Bukowski "Born into This" documentary, and he pretty much said he hated the Barfly movie. I haven't seen it myself. I'm kind of scared to see the Factotum movie. Factotum was good. I didn't know he hated Barfly. He wrote the play for it for chrissakes. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 1,2007 3:33pm - INFECT ""] [img] just started this, but seems interesting so far meanwhile, ive been reading a brief history of time on and off and recently finished "UBIK" by Philip K. Dick which was fucking AWESOME |
