All that in my post and I forgot to say what I'm reading now.
Dark Matter Reading the Bones I started reading it on the ferry last night and so far it's very good. I love anthologies and this one will probably be a permanent fixture in my collection.
Right this second I'm reading a PDF of
Fight Club mostly out of sheer boredom. It's not my favorite of Palahniuk's books but it's enjoyable. I have a copy of
Choke sitting about four feet away from me. I like that one a lot better. The structure and way the narrative is written is chunky and enjoyable.
I think coming up next I want to read
Speak, Memory : An Autobiography Revisited by Nabokov. His writing amazes me.
Or maybe
Best Short Stories of J. G. Ballard that looks to be really good.
Who knows.
Usually when I set out to read something I almost always wind up finding something else entirely unrelated. Or I discover something while crawling around the used book stores that I absolutely have to have.
There's also the wonder of Value Village. Usually I come out with fifteen pounds of books and a skirt. But always worth it.
