I'm reading the bestseller Sushi For Beginners by Marian Keyes. It's about a girl from London who works for a magazine and then has to move to Dublin/Ireland to work for another magazine there. It's about her getting used to the life in Ireland etc.
It's really funny, I will give you a funny quote, if you want?

The book reminds me of when I used to live in Dublin and makes me miss it so much.

Nothing will beat James Caviezel's role in Mel Ginbson directed The Passion Of Christ.

Or Willem Dafoe's role in The Last Temptation Of Christ.

Hmm, I took most of last week off from work just to catch
up on my reading. How pathetic is that?

Anyway, here's what I read, what I am reading and what I
will be reading later this week.



Death Of A Salesman: Arthur Miller

Play. Rather good. But as with all plays, once you get
into it, it's over and done. Curtaincall, applause and
a kind of sickening aftertaste in your mouth. Still,
this one was amusing. It contained a quote I know I'm
now gonna use to drive people nuts
"You cannot eat the orange and throw away the peel,
a man is not a piece of fruit!"


Papillon: Henri Charrière

This one was wicked. It's a kind of adventure story,
but it's a real one. This is the [semi]biography of
a man who was wrongly convicted for a murder he did
not commit and sent to the French prison colony of
French Guyana. He's there for about 11 years and he
thinks [and does] about nothing but escape. It's a
real page-turner. A bit on the thick side with over
500 pages, but it was never boring.
It's written fast and without useless detail.


The Secret Art Of Seamm-Jasani
58 movements for eternal youth from ancient Tibet

Wow. This is like the square root of Yoga & Pilates.
It's all about techniques for your body and breath
techniques and shit. I've started some of this stuff
a few weeks ago and believe me, when you master this
you'll be the zephyr in your own cup of tea.




Healing with WholeFoods
eastern traditions and modern nutrition

All about health, diet, 'alternative' medicine and
a whole wealth of other things. It's kind of like a
nutritionophile's bible. Well, it is mine anyway.
Very comprehensive referencework. This is one of
those books you're gonna check out over and over and
over again until it crumbles like charcoal.


Caffeine Blues

Basically a manifest against the use of caffeine and
a detailed analysis of everything that gets messed
up in your body from using it on a regular basis. It
was a nice read, altho a bit biased imo. For instance
the author forgot to mention that a cup of coffee
also contains "anti-oxidants" etc etc. Still, it gave
me more insight into my coffee-abuse and made me even
take my own teabags to work. Yuck.


Selected Poems: Osip Mandelstam

Read this before and it's an incredibly good selection
of his better poems. I always enjoy reading this book,
kind of like Sylvia Plath's poetry or Ingrid Jonker.


Midnight's Children: Salman Rushdie

Reading this right now, I'm at page 130, so I've got a
bit of a way to go lol. Shame on me, but this is the
only Rushdie novel I haven't read yet. Everybody said
to me that I should start with this one and it's the
one I put aside the longest. Not because of the book
but because I've got a fucking crap edition with print
so small it starts to look like lice running for cover
after reading two pages.

and, finally, once I've finished that, I've got


20,000 secrets of Tea

Waiting on the shelf. All about herbs and tea and their
healing powers and stuff. Very interesting. I had to
put it on the top shelf where I don't see it because it
will keep me up all night once I take it down and I've
got this Rushdie to finish first.

Urgh. I wish I had 4 eyes so I could read twice as much.

I just finished Runaway Jury by John Grisham..pretty good, standard Grisham material.

Prior to that, Running With Scissors thanks to a thread about books on the org--- this was a great book.

Beginning Saving Jesus From Those Who Are Right by Carter Heyward ( I like her stuff, she is an Episcopalian Theologian, and lesbian)

and..

Jesus; a crisis in the life of God by Jack Miles..dunno yet, it sounds good, Jesus being a crisis and all...

btw, I love this kind of thread..I always get great books from it!

I am currently reading messages posted on Prince.org. later, I will read messages posted on homerecording.com. And if I get really desperate I might check my email.

Who's got time to read when I'm wasting my day jumping all over this message board. I tell you that mr. bungle guy, he's mad. What king of mad? Something like this






















That's All Folks!!!1
