This might have been asked a thousand times but what is everyone reading now? I'm read Jupiter's Travels by Ted Simon. Its a true story about a guy who drives around the world on his motorcycle. It started out a bit slow but I'm really enjoying the bit where he is in Africa. Anyone else?

I just started a book called The Proud And The Free by Janet Dalley. 

Da Vinci's Ghost: Genius, Obsession, and How Leonardo Created the World in His Own Image, by Toby Lester

Starting JG Ballard's The Drowned World, his prescient 2nd novel about global warming.

50.000 interesting facts. The first time I've ever read anything on a Kindle. Bizarre!!!

Starting a "Comedy d'Art" Sacre Bleu, by Christopher Moore. Comedy and Art, right up my alley.

Also reading Huang Fan's Zero and other fictions. He's Taiwanese, and the title story is a 1984-like story. Pretty cool so far.

I just started reading Timothy Leary's "The Delicious Grace of Moving One's Hand: The Collected Sex Writings"; it's quite fabulous & much more philosophical than one might assume.  But then again, it is Timothy Leary... ;)

 Guise! Guise! Guise!

There's a Richard Hell autobiography out called I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp,

and no, the library here does not yet have a copy, dimmit.

BUT! You can read the first chapter here. (Takes a sec.)

And here is his site.

That-is-all.

Yeah , I just finished reading it , a while back. It took me forever to get thru it , but , Alice does tell great stories.....Yeah , Geza X , AND , OF COURSE , Patricia Morrisson were in the Bags , until they imploded. Her ex , Nickey Beat , from The Wierdos , was also , briefly , in The Cramps , in '91. Good as a drummer as he is , he was'nt right for them. He LOOKED the part.

I'm reading VIOLENCE GIRL the autobiography of Alice Bag. Tons o' fun, w/ some great pix and scoops on the L.A punk scene, it also doesn't skimp on her childhood in East L.A.

Geza X was in an early incarnation of the Bags.

Did ya know she went out w/ one o' the Weirdos?

Published by Feral House, who publish some really interesting shit. Buy it!

Herbie - Make Way For The Fat Fury. Volumes 1 and 3 (HAVE'NT FOUND #2 ON SALE).

Some of the best comics NOT done by Will Eisner or the staff at E.C.

FLIPPING THROUGH THE TWO BOMP ! BOOKS.

Gibson's classic. His friend Bruce Sterling's work really resonates nowadays, so much of what we're experiencing is encapsulated in his work, esp. Distraction and Holy Fire.

One of my faves, along with Kim Stanley Robinson and Cory Doctorow.

 Lisa Napoli's Radio Shangri-la mixes travel, spirituality, and radio. I love all 3 so it hooked me instantly.

I'm banging through Brave New World,by Aldous Huxley. Brilliant! In the same "society is fucked" manner as Orwell
