plot and style.
Friday Night Lights- One of the best sports biographies I have ever read. Not
about overpaid pro ballers either.
The former I read in my freshman level english class at Dartmouth (It is easy
reading though), the latter I read because it was very similar to my HS...

Albom. You sports fans may recognize that name from the Sports
Reporters on ESPN on Sunday mornings. This is not a sports book,
however. It's about Mitch going back to visit one of his old college
professors who is dying from ALS. It's a very touching read and I'm not
really a touchy-feely kinda guy. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you
cry, but most of all, it'll make you think. Think about what life
really should be about. Think about your family and other people you
care about that you never take the time to let them know.
I can't recommend this bok enough. Check it out. I think it can be
found in the (get ready for this) Inspirational section at your local
bookstore.
Thanks for listening,

"Revenge of the Lawn" and "Trout Fishing in America" are great intros.
Short, easy reads. Cheap at used bookstores. Fucking hilarious imho, and
may even bring a tear to your eye.
Email me for b/p offer if you don't like 'em.

(i know, originally a william blake quote, but used by huxley)
jew and the lotus--can't rememebr author
--really good. shows the ties between judaism and buddhism and how they can
interact. it was great for me as i found myself disillusioned with organized
religion, even my own...
and..just cuz i'm reading it now...
civil action- jonathan harr
--movie was no good. the book is really well written. has a lot of good
mesages about the legal profession and where the environment stands in the
world of big business and money.

you want it to be while your on tour. There are some chapters where I think I'd
rather stay in the car then go into the show. but that's just me. Dune is also
a really great book I remember I reading it during the set breaks at the
clifford ball and it just seemed to gell with my expeirences at the show. don't
eat the brown spice hahahaha.

It changed the way I think about...well...everything.
Also check out "The Overman" by Upton Sinclair.
It's short enough that you can read the whole thing in an hour,
and it's got amazing stuff to say about music and the nature of
the soul. Definately worth reading.

any of his books but go for On the Road if you havent read it. a lot of
people have already read it, but its a phat story. its about this guy
named Sal Paradise who hitchhikes across the country, and meets a lot of
people, has a lot of sex and drugs. kind of like fear and loathing.
-robbie
Ksenya
it's about 900-1000 pages, they go by in a flash (and skip the French
politics pages if too boring).
Some other favorites among recent reads (in no particular order):
* Lolita/ Vladimir Nabokov
* Hiroshima/ John Hersey
* She's Come Undone/ Wally Lamb
* In the Lake of the Woods/ Tim O'Brien
* I Know This Much Is True/ Wally Lamb
* Pigs in Heaven/ Barbara Kingsolver
* Heart of Darkness/ Joseph Conrad
* The Things They Carried/ Tim O'Brien
* If I Die in the Combat Zone/ Tim O'Brien
* Going After Cacciato/ Tim O'Brien
* The Bean Trees/ Barbara Kingsolver
* Animal Dreams/ Barbara Kingsolver
* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/ Douglas Adams
* Trainspotting/ Irvine Welsh
* Cat's Cradle/ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
* Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead/ Tom Stoppard
* A Clockwork Orange/ Anthony Burgess
* Alive/ Piers-Paul Read
--> really, check out those Tim O'Brien books (the mentioned are good,
some others aren't that good), they are mind-boggling, about the vietnam
war by a guy whose company apparently has been involved in the MyLai
incident.
Okay, happy reading to all. - Ksenya

best satirical writer to ever live. Just remember not to take most of his
writing literally. (in some cases, he makes liter points, but not in many).

Kindof a more serious tale... not fabulously written but it makes one
reconsider our role as humans, and our place on earth...

of latin american novels (The War of Don Emanual's Negther Parts, Senor Vivo
and the Coco Lords, and The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman). These
are GREAT books. Easy reading with some very interesting comments on various
political systems and theologies. And damn funny!
As for myself, this tour I'm bringing my new Jughead Digest and Bakhtin's
Dialogic Imagination!
