Anybody reading anything interesting?

[Toe Cutter]

I'm looking for a new book. I just finished McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories. Really entertaining short stories.

[Camby Savelle]

I suggest "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S.Lewis

It's a book containing letters written from a demons perspective on the ways to corrupt & destroy the human soul.

[Toe Cutter]

that sounds interesting. That name (c.s. lewis) sounds very familiar.

Dark Eros by Thomas Moore presents an interesting take on the Marquis De Sade.

Anything by Martha Wells. Expecially if it's "The Death of a Necromancer".

Plutarch's "Lives," Vol. II - stuff about Alexander the Great is pretty interesting.

I just reread Broken Summers by Rollins. My portable book this week is an anthology from Quantum Muse that I got as payment for being published in their magazine. And my at home book is a writing course textbook called Signs of Life.

wow so many....im stilll trying to take in the last books from Anais Nin..Her journals were amazing! Just finished Delta Venus and Little Birds and Under a Glass Bell is a small book but each time I read it..I gain new insight and perspective....a collection of short stories..working with dreams...and sexual imagery, deviancy, ephemerality, youthful explorations and sexual identity...Anais Nin has to be my all time favorite author in the erotica field....I dont know if she will ever be matched...for she wrote so beguilingly..in a day and time..women were not supposed to speak of sexual prowess..
*Real sensuality, has no need of stimulants*.-Anais Nin

Also...an amazing work was *secrets of the flesh* A life of Collete...by Judith Thurman..all about the amazing erotica author Sidonie-Cabrielle Colette
these authors knew no inhibitions and boundaries...many of their memoirs and journals were taken from real life experience...if you love erotica..these are the Masters...or should i say Mistresses? *winx*

Well I haven't read any real books lately, but I did just read a really good manga called "Othello".

Currently re-reading Altered Carbon by Rishard Morgan, though the sequel's better: Broken Angels.
I'm also Evangelical in my love of Iain M. Banks' Culture books, but i understand they haven't made it across the Atlantic yet.

lol it could seem like that.

[Morning Glory]

well I didn't actually read them, just an essay about them. since that's what it said, I decided not to.

[Morning Glory]

I don't really have anything to read so i'm just going through old comics. I just reread Sin City, seemed like a good one to brush up on.

[Sour Girl]

I suggest "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S.Lewis

It's a book containing letters written from a demons perspective on the ways to corrupt & destroy the human soul.

yea... c.s. lewis wrote chronicales of narnia, often cast aside as a childrens series, i thought there was depth to them, but i guess you had to look.

i just got anne rice's "witching hour" today, should be good, i like anne rice books.

WORD! Scott Westerfeld and his series have opened my black little heart to science-fiction all over again. Definetly check out The Risen Empire and then check out The Killing of Worlds after. Good series.

I've just finished reading 'the wrong boy' by willy someone of other (russel i think) it isn't what I usually go for it had nothing supernatural at all actually but it was very good i thought made me laugh and cry mind you so did his play 'blood brothers' which i saw in london a few years back

[tinstar]

I just reread Broken Summers by Rollins.

Good stuff, that Rollins guy!

[tinstar]

lol it could seem like that.

Try "The Great Divorce" also. Even though I can't stand his Christianity, Lewis was one of those great writers who seemed to be able to see straight through people's souls. His insight was amazing.

"Out" by Natuso Kirino is what I am reading - good stuf!
