The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike - Philip K. Dick. Just about two-thirds of the way through this. I've read a few of his non-sci-fi novels now and he really should be up there with the likes of Richard Yates and Sinclair Lewis as someone able to capture the darker side of the American dream. Top stuff.

 

Can't believe he was living on pet food. ;)

He was fucking nuts to be fair.

HF, did you ever read any of that John Pilger list you posted?

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (Carson McCullers) is fantastic.

 

Just two of them. I'd read Catch 22 already and have since read Manufacturing consent.

 

I'll add it to my wishlist and probably get it for christmas, I'm not buying books with the pile I've got.

 

I feel bad for having still not read Slaughterhouse Five too.

Trauma Room One - Dr Charles Crenshaw

 

Written by the surgeon who initially tried to save the life of JFK as he was brought to Parkland hospital Dallas, he documents the startling difference in the "official" government description of the fatal bullet wounds againt those that he witnessed.

Jimbo heading to Texas with a book on conspiracy theories under his arm. Patsy in the making imo.

Well, now you mention it me and Mrs Jimbo are headed to Dallas at the weekend to visit Dealy plaza and the school book depository, it's set up exactly as it was on the day of the shooting, so accurately it doesn't even have a Lee Harvey Oswald at the window. :D

You'll have to check the Bill Hicks classic about not allowing you right to the window because it would take two seconds to say "no fucking way".

Just started "The Lair of the White Worm", Bram Stoker, on iBooks.

Anyone read it?

No but I take it you've read Dracula.

Indeedy.

Felt compelled to wear moody make up and cut myself afterwards.

And go to Whitby?

Lettuce know what you think as I love Dracula (but read it years ago).
