books & music

the last couple of books i've read:

author: Tom Robbins
  • Still Life with Woodpecker - was just ok througout but cool ending, i thought... this book has personal interest because some putz gave it to melenie when we first started dating with quotes on love highlighted in the book. tom robbins just has total bananas adjectives that make you crack up in run on sentences. love that aspect. this book is about pyramids, love, and seeing the animate in inanimate objects.
  • Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas - was pretty good, better than still life, i thought. about the stock market and aliens giving stellar information to the Dogon in africa, and timbuktu... very eccentric character in the book, similar to the woodpecker in still life... maybe i just related better because i sell to people in the financial industry right now... a faster story too...
author: Haruki Murakami
  • A Wild Sheep Chase - good read by haruki. kafka on the shore was the best one thus far. weird, twisted shit about war, japanese food, transcending reality into your subconscious and wells (as in, with water). oh and turning into ghosts to help your friends out
band: The Kooks
  • their new album "inside in inside out" is dope. coldplayish britrock of the moment.
