Reading Tab

I'm almost done reading The Metaphysical Club, by Louis Menand and recently started going through Owarashi Michi no Shirube ni (Sign at the End of the Road), by Kobo Abe. I've been slowly making my way through several novels lately: The Bourne Supremacy, West of Eden (Harry Harrison) and The Wasp Factory (Iain Banks). West of Eden is pretty good, one of the better science fiction novels I've read in the last two or so years.

Angels & Demons, by Dan Brown. It's no DaVinci Code.
The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan. hmm... Seems like he's throwing the baby out with the bathwater a bit, like science has somehow been perfected and finished discovering all there is to know... Interesting reading, though.

With Nails - the film journals of actor Richard E. Grant

I started reading this last night and have already laughed so hard at little comments he makes that I dare not drink while reading. It's also already made me cry, the bastard. 20 pages in: he's the LeStat of the film world.

Hmm, I read this, and I got a totally different vibe, as if he was finally giving credence to things like intuition etc. One of my favorite Sagan books, to be sure.

How's that for a difference?

Well, their ain't no lampost in those books. Is that it?

Well my book is for grown-ups. Thats the biggest difference.

So, The Communist Manifesto isn't?
