Seeing how no one has posted in this spot for a while, I thought I'd try to bring a little attention back to this corner of the board.
What're you reading right now? And by reading I don't mean the trades or your buddies latest spec. I mean the reading for you, the reading to keep that brain charged.
I just finished Choke by Chuck Palhuniuk and Word Freak by Stephen Fatsis. I highly recommended both although Choke may not sit well with uber-feminists and Word Freak should be avoided by obsessive-compulsive types who love words (The book just makes you want to play and play and play Scrabble, that damn time sucker).
Just started a little book called "Getting Away with It" which is a mixture of Steven Sodebergh interviewing Richard Lester (director of A Hard Day's Night) and Sodebergh's diary around the time Schizopolis came out. It's really great.
Next up? The Cold Six Thousand by James Ellroy. I loved American Tabloid and can't wait to jump on into that world again.
And hey if melding the above four books, you can think of something else I should read, I'd love to hear about it.

P.S. For those of you in the greater L.A. area: You gotta love the Los Angeles Public Library and its wonderful website www.lapl.org. It's like Amazon for the poor and the heavily indebted. Check it out if you haven't already.
P.P.S. Anyone know if American Tabloid is set up anywhere?
