“A Short History Of Tractors In Ukrainian” by Marina Lewycka. Read it over the course of my 16 hour flight to Montreal, and then promptly picked up “The Wolves in the Walls” by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean because I was frightfully homesick once my parents left. Either one’s fantastic, for entirely different reasons.

The last good book I read was “Of Bees and Mists: A Novel” by Erick Setiawan.

The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon

Totally unexpectedly fun/emotional book from the eyes of a teenage detective with autism.

Bought it on an impulse and I’ve been recommending it to everyone around me since.

The last good book I read, when I didn’t have to read a gazillion textbooks, was “Handling the Undead” by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It was a breath of fresh air on the whole zombie craze.

I fell in love with Clowes when I, by chance, picked up an Eightball years ago in a dusty old box, forgotten in a corner. Best luck ever!

Just Kids, by Patti Smith.

Last book I read was a brilliant….. Recommended by a friend, it’s called Wonderland Avenue “Tales of Glamour and Excess” by Danny Sugerman.

It’s his tale. Excessive, scandalous, comic, cautionary and horrifying, it chronicles the 60s dream gone to rot and the early life of a Hollywood Wild Child who was just brilliant at being bad….

Brilliant

if u get the chance read it y’all….

freefall by william golding

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making – Catherynne M. Valente

Drag Bandits comic by Colleen Frakes & Betsy Swardlick

Hopscotch by Julio Cortazár. I read it in Spanish (it’s original language) but the mere concept of the book of having multiple endings makes it interesting in any language.

Accelerando by Charles Stross, chronicling the rise of the singularity. It’s full of … ideas!!!

Just finished re-reading Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett.

keeping the comic theme, I recently read the incal by moebius and jorodowsky and I cannot recommend another comic epic more than i would recommend this.

‘Boneshaker’ by Cherie Priest

Like Life, Lorrie Moore, baddest bitch in fiction

Nipper 1965-1966 by Doug Wright (also by D&Q)

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

Currently finishing the 6th Man by Baldacci but I wouldn’t call it a good book. The last good book I read was Banker to the Poor by Muhammad Yunis, an explanation of his concept of micro-lending as a means to raise people out of poverty for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize

on the road by jack kerouac

“seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees; over thirty years of conversations with Robert Irwin”

last great book… michel houllebecq – the possibility of an island.

the Harry Potter series

Graphic novels by genius David B., Epileptic.

I think I’m meant to win this giveaway.

A good friend of mine just moved away, and just before he moved he had a yard sale where I purchased his copy of “Of or pertainging to the astonishing & confounding adventures of young David Boring Esquire whom we join on a search for fulfillment in north america during the waning months of the second millenium” by none other than Daniel Clowes. It was an amazing read, and I’m sure these two books would be a great additon to my collection.

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

Awesome short sci-fi stories! A must!

The last book I read was Al Azif: The Necronomicon by Abdul Alhazred. As I chanted the names of the Elders, names never spoken by Man, I pierced the veil of this Reality & tore an unholy gash. I need not “Drawn & Quarterly”, for I hath Drawn & Quartered the fragile laws of your humanity; the only “Death Ray” I seek is the emanation of the doomful eye of Shub-Niggurath. As a foulness shall ye know Them. Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They reign again.

The last book I read was called Terroryaki! and was a 3 Day Novel written by Jennifer Chung. It was refreshing to just sit down and crank out a fun novel about a girl, her vast knowledge for teriyaki and the hunt for the mysterious food truck that evades her taste buds.

The las book I had read was this summer, and I could say it was pretty good. The book was The Beach by Alex Garland – the book was then turned in to a movie The Beach, but I liked the book, cause it was a bit differen and it had more detailes, images, story, everthing was a bit deeper and more layerd. The interesting thing about this book and how I decided to read it was, I had a pretty bad year and this summer I got to think about my unfinished bussines, and one of my unfinished bussines was that I started reading this book about 5-6 years ago and I never finished it, so I tried to finish it knaw.
