That will be in my nightmares.

Well, the last book I read was "Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows." I'd never read the series before, and I really enjoyed it. Kind of odd to say that on a Bukowski forum. I can't remember the last CD I bought, but I recently started listening to Echo & The Bunnymen. They're okay.
