Just finished reading Bright Lights, Big City which I thought was a hoot at times and poignant at others. Really enjoyed it. Just started on 'Mary and the Giant' by Philip K. Dick (it's one of his mainstream novels) and it looks good so far.

Too embarassed to admit last 'CD'
and even more embarassed that I love it.
....and I've just started on 'Northline' by Willy Vlautin, which appears good so far. I really enjoyed his other novel 'Motel Life'.
Northline was brilliant by the way. Desperately sad in places but also uplifting in places. A very 'human' book I thought.
I just got, "The Beats", a graphic novel by Harvey Pekar, illustrated (mostly) by Ed Piskor, ca. 200 pages (2009).
If you know the various Beat writers, and especially the big three, then you probably won't find much new info here. Here's some of the content:
Jack Kerouac...48 pages
last cd, the be good tanyas, Hello Love
he also climbed on Van Ronk's belly.
.......
The last book I read is the fine literature, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography by Andrew Morton. Oh yes. And I am currently re-reading Miranda July's awe-inspiring No one belongs here more than you.
She is very strong, no kidding.could you beat me in an arm wrestling challenge?
No French wrestler. Isn't that Mickey Rourke's next movie?In the unauthorized bio, is there anything about the french wrestler? or did the sci-tologists bury that?
Yeah , I`m in a Stonesnostalgia tooI bought EXILE ON MAIN STREET last week - I'm in a Stones nostalgia phase...
