That's a damn good read. :) If you haven't read Miles Auto, you should. It's a really good read, too. Joe Jackson's A Cure For Gravity is also quite good. It's a shame that all three of these were flood victims but the life stories remain in my head.

I hadn't dropped in on this thread yet and it reminded me that I really don't read books anymore. It's not a deliberate choice just a fact of life. I still have a subscription to the local paper. I lost about 75% of my book collection in the flood 2009 including The Real Frank Zappa Book and Miles Davis' Autobiography. There are a couple of things out there that I might indulge in of a political bent if I had the money.

Didn't read Murakami's books during last few years, not sure if he wrote something new during that period (still didn't read all his previous books as well)

Yeah! Is that one of the ones you've read in multiple languages? Have you read his latest, Slava?

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Just a short one for me - really enjoying the use of electricity in the story Edited by dreadpirateroberts - 27 Jul 2012 at 10:03pm |
