I read Everyman by Phillip Roth. A short novel, but a good one.
I'm currently reading a book called Beijing Wawa (that's the original title, I don't know if it was translated to English) by Chun Sue. It is another book that, like Shanghai Baby, was banned in China. I'm not sure yet about this one. It gives some insight into the Chinese rock scence, some of her thoughts remind me of my own adolescence, a lot of teenage angst, so much that it gets a bit silly at times.
I won a stack of Jackie Collins on Ebay, so those 12 books should keep me busy for awhile.
I just finished Grief by Andrew Holleran. It was excellent.
All of God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.

Now logic is a wonderful thing but it has, as the processes of evolution discovered, certain drawbacks. Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else which thinks at least as logically as it does. - Douglas Adams
shit, there's even phatom pages in the books/literature section?
Just finished reading "Remember Me?" by Sophie Kinsella. It was quite good.

I'm rereading A Place Of Execution by Val McDermitt.

The Terracotta Army by John Man. My beau got it for me while the actual figures were on display here. Pretty good, more in dept story of their discovery.
Im ashamed to say what I did for a klondike bar...
I'm reading my favorite parts of Beyond Good and Evil when I feel like taking a break from The Sugar Bean Sisters.
Ok, if you want to read a book that will make you LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF in the most inappropriate places, run, not walk, to the shop and get a copy of 'I Must Confess' by Rupert Smith. It's like Little Me but gayer and funnier. I was on a plane yesterday absolutely dying with laughter (and annoying the shit out of the woman next to me). This book made me laugh so much that I sent an email to the author telling him that he made me look quite the fool as I travelled via bus, plane and tube. (He was very appreciative, by the way).

Why does this thread have a page 49 that goes to page 48 when you click on it?
