nmorin Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I am just about to start "Deus Irae" by Dick and Zelazny, a PKD novel I'd never gotten to, so I am looking forward to it. Last January, I started reading PKD’s novels chronologically, and, including this one, I have only five to go. I am stoked to get to “Radio Free Albemuth” and the "VALIS" trilogy—good grief, talk about going on top of your game! Quote
BruceH Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 My son is reading "The Three Minute Universe," a star trek novel. Sigh, this younger generation... Quote

Brandon Burke Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) Just did a Google image search for this and much prefer this cover to the one we ended up with in the States. Edited April 13, 2005 by Brandon Burke Quote
sidewinder Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 The new Miles Davis biography 'The Last Miles - The Music of Miles Davis 1980-1991' by George Cole. A good read ! Quote
Dr. Rat Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Katherine Neville "The Eight" What do you think? I've read a couple of her novels and wished they were better. --eric Quote
Harold_Z Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 "The Secret Ascension, or Alas Philip K. Dick is Dead," Michael Bishop WHOA - What is THAT ? Quote
Harold_Z Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 "The Secret Ascension, or Alas Philip K. Dick is Dead," Michael Bishop WHOA - What is THAT ? OK...I just googled it. Looks good. Quote
Bright Moments Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 Katherine Neville "The Eight" What do you think? I've read a couple of her novels and wished they were better. --eric this one's her best, IMHO. Quote
Harold_Z Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 The Orientalist by Tom Reiss. Pretty interesting and informative of an historical time and place of which I know little. Quote
ejp626 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 Through the Safety Net by Charles Baxter He is an author of short stories nd poetry (much better short stories, however). Many of his stories are a bit depressing. He is probably best known for the Saul and Patsy stories. Saul is a Jew; Patsy is not. They relocate to rural Michigan and try to make a new life. The first in the series is in this book, which is why I started here. I'm about to start Checkpoint by Nicholas Baker about a man's desire to assassinate George W. I'll probably move any discussion about this book to the Politics thread. Quote

Alexander Hawkins Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Just finished Edith Grossman's new translation of Don Quixote. Quite simply the most beautiful book I've ever read. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 The content, I mean, although it looks nice too Quote

king ubu Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Tzara was not a poet. He was a clever businessman and a thief. Go read Walter Serner if you're in for the original! Tzara translated full paragraphs and sentences into French for his Dada-manifestos that Serner wrote in German. But then Tzara was the quizzical darling of everybody... and Serner the most obscure of them all. Quote
JohnS Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Just finished re-reading Jazz Masters In Transition 1957-69 by Martin Williams. Nice set of essays from a golden age. Sent me to the cd player/turntable a few times. Quote
