That said, whatever you guys come up with, I'm reading. Either way though, I'm reading Life -Keith Richards “I can’t untie the threads of how much I played up to the part that was written for me,” he says. “I mean the skull ring and the broken tooth and the kohl. Is it half and half? I think in a way your persona, your image, as it used to be known, is like a ball and chain. People think I’m still a goddamn junkie. It’s 30 years since I gave up the dope! Image is like a long shadow. Even when the sun goes down, you can see it.” Feel free to pick this book. -two birds with one stone for me.Halfway through his electrifying new memoir, “Life,” Keith Richards writes about the consequences of fame: the nearly complete loss of privacy and the weirdness of being mythologized by fans as a sort of folk-hero renegade.
This looks good as well. I just read The Man in the High Castle which was good. If you want to read something interesting, download http://localroger.com/prime-intellect/mopiall.html before you leave. I was going to start reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman but then I started reading the graphic novel Sandman and then I stopped and then I don't know. You know how life gets. I need a vacation asap.
Sandman is among the realm of "wished I hadn't read all of them in one sitting". Certainly let that be stretched out to savor that because after it is over it is hard to find anything as peculiar as that series. As for the book club I'm reading The Trial of Joan of Arc which is covered in notes but very neat and enlightening. But I await to see what is to be read. I would like, at some point, to read Letters to a Young Poet in a group setting.
I hear Durham NC is nice this time of year ;-) Thanks for the link, I'll read it. Hang in there champ!
