BLEH! New Book, Please!

I'm not a fan of Neil Gaiman, apparently.  Well, that's not true, not entirely; I really liked what I read of Sandman, and the book Amanda gave me for Christmas once.  However, American Gods was not my favorite book...like not even least favorite...and Anansi Boys  is so not thrilling me.  I'm quitting it.

I OFFICIALLY QUIT YR FICTION, MR. GAIMAN!

Anyway, here are my top picks for the next three books I want to read:


  1. I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas  Lewis Black; A great comedian, this is his memoir on traveling to entertain the troops during the holidays after being turned down to play Scrooge.  I'll be starting this tomorrow, and it will probably go pretty quickly.
  2. Naked Lunch William S. Burroughs; I've officially tried to read this book about 4 times I think.  I'm hoping that maybe if you will join me, I can finish it...understand it?  I've also watched the movie, but I don't think that will ever help anyone.
  3. The Stones of Summer Dow Mossman; Another title I've officially tried to start repeatedly.  Pretty sure I always think it'll be the perfect beach book, and then I get distracted and decide to go like, not read about a dusty farm in the mid-west with greyhounds on it.   Go figure.  A gift from someone who really loves it, so I really have wanted to read it and share my thoughts.  For the past 7 years or so.
WHO'S WITH ME?!
