Working on a book list

First of all, I’m back! Luis was in town for the past week and it was such a whirlwind of activity I barely had time to DO DRUGS let alone maintain my weblog. John was here too, and I want to thank both of you for visiting me: what a fucking awesome time. Anyway, now I’m getting back to my boring regular life, and one thing I’ve been meaning to do is add mass to my reading list – I just haven’t been reading much, and I miss it. Here’s how it stands. If you have anything to add, or think there’s something I should take off, lmk, k? I’m just getting started – next I’m going to peruse the Booker lists & so forth.
