Chuck Palahniuk's new book, Snuff, comes out a week from today. Here's a trailer. Kinda NSFW.

Waiting is the hardest part, especially when it means another year.

Frank Portman (aka the Mr. T Experiment's Dr. Frank) had a new book, Andromeda Klein, that was due out this summer. I enjoyed King Dork in ways that get me giddily retarded when I attempt to explain it. A new book by Portman would have made me a happy camper. It is now not being ( Read more... )

Fuck me sideways - Borders was mildly controlled chaos and insanity.

However, after standing around for an hour and a half, I now possess Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. After I take a shower and wash the geek stink off (yes, I know, it's coming from me, so it'll take a while - hahahaha), I'm curling up on the couch and reading 'til I pass out ( Read more... )

Nothing really beats getting off work at a decent time, meeting the_lucky_nun at the library, bringing home a treasure trove of new books and music, and then plopping one's ass on the couch to watch Total Recall and reading comic books ( Read more... )

Earlier this afternoon, after Eric came and got Tony, I was standing at the counter and saying to the_lucky_nun that today'd be perfect to just go sit downtown, drink coffee, and read. She looked at me and (somewhat quizzically) asked "Well, why don't you ( Read more... )

The books the_lucky_nun and I have been reading lately seem to be popping up in the paper an awful lot. The author of Monkey Girl spoke at the Dole Institute last night, and it seems that The Road was picked as the new Oprah Book Club selection.

They're both fantastic, if a bit depressing. Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures hasn't popped up anywhere, but since ( Read more... )

Trying to get some books knocked out for a nuthouseblog post this week. Mondays have become review days, Wednesdays are random ranting / editorializing, and Fridays feature some compilation or album I tracked down online for download. The book thing is just to round out what's getting featured ( Read more... )

Me and the_lucky_nun just got back from using up the last of our Half Price Books gift card. She got a couple books, I got Murder City Devils and Toasters cds out of clearance, At.The.Drive.In. and Let's Go Bowling 7"s (the LGB one is a Moon Ska limited single on clear vinyl- I used to have the MU330 one, too, but sold it), and American Gods. Awesome ( Read more... )

45 minutes in Half Price Books, and while I found a lot of "that's nice" stuff, there was nothing that screamed "TAKE ME HOME, FOOL!!! I MUST LIVE ON YOUR SHELF!!!" Eh. Whatever. I've got the Going Underground book scary_manilow lent me, so that'll give me something to read today ( Read more... )

Thus accomplished today: got the muffler fixed on my car, got my hair cut, returned books / paid fines / checked out books from the library, washed and vacuumed my car, bought cds, went to the grocery store, and came home. Hot damn, I'm a busy man.

And I still have stuff that I'm gonna get done today. I have a dvd case to design, e-mails to write ( Read more... )
