    "The Lemon of Pink" is such a good album. I like "Lost and Safe" as well.

    ALSO I just finished "Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name." Really good. Hello, "Team of Rivals."

    i FINALLY was able to get handey's book from my local library (it was "in processing" for at least a month and a half) and have been enjoying it quite a bit.

    I starter reading Clockers over the weekend of the 4th, and I love it so far. Totally hits the spot.

    I just finished "Black Postcards" by Dean Wareham. It was probably the dullest rock autobiography I have ever read, and I've read "Stone Alone" by Bill Wyman.

    Holy cow. I just started reading this over the weekend. I heard the movie's a pale shadow of the greatness that is the book.

    Richard Dawkins "The God Delusion." I wish reading it was mandatory worldwide.

    Michael Ian Black's 'My Custom Van: And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays that Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face' comes out this Tuesday!

    His blog is consistently hilarious, so I have high hopes for this.

    I've been reading the Ender's Game series. I think I'm on the 4th one now.

    If I recall, Ender's Game series gets all "Mormony" at the end.

    Re: The Books Thread

    the story has a nice wrap-up at Xenocide (book 3)...i read book 4 and it wasn't bad but i couldn't tell you anything about it, very forgettable.

    Switching it up between the new Handey book and 'Comedy by the Numbers'. Both are great.

    Got Thomas Pynchon's 'Against The Day' on deck.

    Two enthusiastic recommendations for anyone that hasn't read them already:

    Jonathan Lethem's 'Motherless Brooklyn'
    Steven Hall's 'Raw Shark Texts'

    Just finished I Killed. it's all anecdotal stories from comics. I imagine any ASTer would like it.

    "Soon I Will Be Invincible" by Austin Grossman I just read and loved. Can't shut up about it whenever superheroes get mentioned in conversation.
