right now i'm reading an old out of print book i got last year or the year before at an antique shop
called The Swiss Legacy
it's a mystery/suspense

From the inside cover: Their business in London was concluded, and Carolyn and David Bruce were looking forward to a short vacation before they returned to New York. Suddenly everything turned into a nightmare: the argument, the accident, David's death. A swerving taxi out of nowhere shattered Carolyn's world and left her dazed with grief. In an attempt to pull herself together, she sought peace on the quiet country estate of friends outside London. Instead, she was beset by disquiet and fear. Totally ignorant of David's business affairs, she found herself in the middle of a gradually unwinding plot that terrified her. Had David's death really been an accident, or could the legacy that he had left her cost her her life?

it's short (about 250 pages)..and i dont' want to start anything long right now since i'll be moving soon

i just finished reading this book called Apocalypse Culture which was neat..a collection of essays "ranging from the sexual liberation of necrophiliacs to strong cases against art and agriculture"

American Psycho is fucking awesome. I read Liquor by Poppy Z. Brite...a relatively new one. It was a bit weak, though I know she's written some good stuff.

Ugh! I've been really lagging this summer. I've only read four novels. I've mostly been reading a lot of poetry collections.

yeah that's how i was last summer so i wanted to make sure i read what i wanted to read this summer

american psycho IS awesome

i haven't read liquor..i hear it's pretty different from the rest of her stuff

the first book of hers i read was Exquisite Corpse...which is also a bit different from the rest of her stuff but really really good
it's about a cannibal serial killer....
it's based loosely on jeffrey dahmer. i couldn't put it down...i read that a couple of years ago..it's very descriptive and written from the perspective of the killer..i think

Crispin Glover has an absolutely brilliant essay in Apocalypse Culture 2.
