I recently re-read "A Confederacy of Dunces". I've read it straight through probably four times over the years and every time I find something new that's hilarious.

SLOWLY working my way through Lonesome Dove. It's a big book, and I'm crazy busy at work. Not sure I've ever read at this slow of a pace; I hate it.

Just finished Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell (who I also plan on seeing tomorrow at the Missouri Literary Festival, along with Billy Morris). Good stuff by a West Plains writer. Very gritty.

I did. My expectations were not very high, and it exceeded those. The prose was unique (if a little over the top occasionally), and there was a hidden element of fantasy in a blackly realistic plot that gave it an interesting feel.

No True Glory by Bing West. Story about the battle of Fallujah in Iraq, very interesting.

Just read:
The Merchant of Venice. (good)
Lemp: the Haunting History. (excellent.)
Ghosts of Saint Louis by Bryan Alaspa. (Fucking stupid and horribly written.)

Still reading: Paradise Lost. (meh)

For the 5th or 6th time (there's like one or two chapters I skip because the subject matter in them is pure speculation bs):
The Secret Teachings of All Ages
