The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder
Got it yesterday and already about halfway through..interesting reading
if you start psychoanalyzing me i'mma throw feces at you I got it to psychoanalyze me...why, do you think you're crazy too?  you got awfully defensive over my choice of reading...lol Hey if you are into a good psychological read, another gem is The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout. |

Rob is a big fan of Nick cave as the story goes. Angels has a lot of influences in it, this book would be a mere piece of the inspiration for the album.
Edited cause my phone is 'tarded.

Not sure what's on the agenda next. Wey swears it's Swan Song but I kinda want to read Amy Tan's Saving Fish From Drowning.
oooooh that reminds me, I need to re-read Swan's Song. it's been a few years since i've read it and it was an awesome book. I wish I would've listened to you both sooner--you AND Wey were right. I'm at over 700 pages and have been reading it since the first week of December. It's really reminiscent of The Stand but really different from it in a lot of ways too. |

Let's see... since Swan Song I've read:
Dark Angel - Before The Dawn
Dark Angel - Skin Game
Dark Angel - After The Dark
Those three were based on the long-defunct TV show of the same name.
I also tried to read Clive Barker's Weaveworld but I just could NOT get into it.
Now reading Ruth Rendell's The Fallen Curtain. REALLY good collection of short stories.

I'm about halfway through with Laurell K Hamilton's new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter novel, "Flirt".
Has anyone here read any of her novels?

"General Design Considerations for Canals and Canal structures"
by Frank E. Rippon of the US Bureau of Reclamation.
Yet another dry, dry read. Tech manuals from the 1960's are their own class of torture.

Finished Simisola. Excellent book. Started in on Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass earlier this week. Pretty good so far. I also got a really good haul of Ruth Rendell books at Half Price Books yesterday--couldn't believe my luck, as that place is so hit and miss.  |
