Men and Cartoons

Jonathan Lethem comes through with more really good shit in these short stories.

The Spray is really good, and so is Planet Big Zero (which I have lived). Super Goat Man is really, really good as a really, really sad story and, lastly, This Shape We're In was really cool.

Too Cool To Be Forgotten

This is one of those examples that small press books<i> are</i> too good for the masses and remain small press due to people being idiots.

Alex Robinson still hasn't disappointed me once.

The Amber Spyglass

The last part of His Dark Materials, and a really suiting conclusion.

This series is going on the "re-read once every year or two" list.

The Subtle Knife

2/3s of the way there.

Lee Scoresby is fucking gangster...

His Dark Materials Book One

I could go on and on saying how great this book is , but let me just say that Iorek Byrnison is the truth and use this awesome quote from someone awesomer than me to make my point:

"There's implied sex between two thirteen year-olds...There's a war on God, and God's the bad guy...it's fucking awesome"

A little non-fiction/polticalness

It's been a while. I'm actually in the process of reading 3 books, but I finished this one first.

Noam Chomsky does a really good job of explaining our shitty foreign relations and what we can expect in the future.

Worth reading twice.
