Best American Essays of 2004 - I liked the A Sudden Illness, Yarn,
My Lost City, My Father Is A Book, Bullet In My Neck, and Lifelike. I probably liked Arrow & Wound the most.
Ishmael By, Daniel Quinn - Second time reading it and it's lost a lot of whatever made me like it the first time. Dang.
Green Hills of Africa By, Ernest Hemingway - Second time I've read this one too. The only difference is that I still like this one.
Breakfast At Tiffany's By, Truman Capote - I was under the impression that this story was going to be something like 16 Candles or the Breakfast Club.... it wasn't. I liked it a lot. The book also included three other short stories by Capote; House Of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar, and A Christmas Memory. All good.
Currently reading;

And I'll never stop reading, Norton's Anthology of Short Fiction.

Currently reading: When Rabbit Howls by The Troops for TRUDDI CHASE
I am halfway through and I say this is one of the most accurate protrayals of MPD. I think it should be taught in psychology classes. It is a must read for anyone wanting to learn more about Multiple Personality Disorder from the perspective of the ones living it. Therapists not familiar with MPD/DID should also read this novel.

Movie Makers' Master Class: Private Lessons From The Worlds Foremost Directors - By, Laurent Tirard
I've read a share of books on film but this one probably takes the cake as far as entertainment goes. The author, Laurent Tirard, interviews a number of different Directors from Scorsese to Woody Allen to John Woo to Oliver Stone to David Lynch and a number of others which includes a number of foriegn directors (#!). They each talk about how they got started, their motives, who they make films for, directing actors, etc.... but what makes it so interesting is how different each one of them is. Scorsese is a full on organizer while Allen shows up to a set without knowing what he's going to do until the actors are in front of him. If you're a filmmaker you have to read this. It's like getting a private lecture from all of these directors. You'll agree with some of them and disagree with others but either way you end up learning something.

i'd recommend, since it's literature, all the last and recent storyline in Daredevil (Marvel Comics) is more than worth reading!
And it's a gift for meeeeeee!!!!! (In my best Gollum impersonation).
