April 2, 200818 yr comment_110412 Reks, have you read the Transmetropolitan series by Warren Ellis? Report
April 3, 200818 yr comment_110451 nope. i'm guessing that i should. Yep. I highly recommend the series. I also really like the Planetary series by Ellis as well (the series is even more fun when you have a decent knowledge of DC & Marvel characters), but I'd recommend you wait to pick that up until they actually finish the series as I've been waiting for few years now for Ellis to finish the series and release the last book (or two).

April 3, 200818 yr comment_110452 will wrap it up tonight. glad I got to read the book before I see the movie. great read! entertaining and thought provoking. Report
April 9, 200818 yr comment_112171 I read the first two books in that very long series of his. Is this part of it? Anyways, I had no urge to continue the series after those two..they were good Have you read the rest? -Kyle Report
April 9, 200818 yr comment_112172 Just finished...Are those any good? "Buffy starring Philip Marlowe" sounds enticing. Report
April 10, 200818 yr comment_112369 dusty, the Dresden books are great fun, I've read about the first four. I'm currently reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. This book is terrifying in its totality of vision, the most pure & horrific post apocalyptic tale I've yet come across. I'm not finished yet, but I can already give this book my highest recommendation. Report
April 10, 200818 yr comment_112370 POSTJACK - My new job is boring and I have nothing to do most of the time so I started reading Garden of the Moon! I have to go buy the next one tonight because I've been tearing through this book Good call. Report

But in GotM, don't you meet Kruppe? I love Kruppe. Report

This one may be somewhere around 12 or something? Report
April 11, 200818 yr comment_112526 Great haul from the bookstore. Highlights are Death in Venice and a bunch of Borges. Andrew Hurley is a horrible translator. I have been comparing these James E. Irby and Norman Thomas di Giovanni translations of Borges to the Hurley ones I had before and the difference in serenity of language is astounding. Like, Harry Potter vs. The Great Gatsby. Report

May 6, 200818 yr comment_118682 Read this on the way to and from CanJam, pretty typical of the genre but an enjoyable read nonetheless. Report

May 6, 200818 yr comment_118773 I haven't finished a book in a while. This summer I'm going to read every Hesse novel. And get started on more Nabokov than Lolita, Pale Fire and Invitation to a Beheading. And probably re-read Pale Fire. Have you read Death in Venice? Sorry for the late reply, but yes. I saw the film version first, however. Report
May 6, 200818 yr comment_118777 Still reading "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Too bad I have little time doing extensive reading sessions because this book is really intriguing to say the least. Report
May 6, 200818 yr comment_118779 Yeah..but it's so marvelously written I just have to get going to the end. By the time I reach that point I might just start reading it again to see how it did start again lol! What was The Idiot like? Haven't read it yet but I think that's next on my list. Report
