Hungry Lightning by Pei-Lin Yu...... it's a diary of a woman anthropologist doing research with the Pume of Venezuela for 2 years. I really, really like it, but I also have a hard-on for anthropology

Recently the last two books I have read/reading are:



I finished Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I really enjoyed this, it isnt quite as good as American Gods but I was pleased with it. There were some very likable and dislikable characters in the novel, which is always good. It also seems to be a mini-series, and there is a film coming out in 2009 that is rumored. Information about it found here: http://books.google.com/books?id=saCZRfN-FloC (this site will also let you read a few pages of the novel)

But it reads:

Richard Mayhew is an unassuming young businessman living in London, with a dull job and a pretty but demanding fiancee. Then one night he stumbles across a girl bleeding on the sidewalk. He stops to help her - and the life he knows vanishes like smoke. Several hours later, the girl is gone too. And by the following morning Richard Mayhew has been erased from his world. His bank cards no longer work, taxi drivers won't stop for him, his landlord rents his apartment out to strangers. He has become invisible, and inexplicably consigned to a London of shadows and darkness - to a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth of sewer canals and abandoned subway stations. He has fallen through the cracks of reality and has landed somewhere different, somewhere that is Neverwhere. For this is the home of Door, the mysterious girl whom Richard rescued in the London Above. A personage of great power and nobility in this murky, candlelit realm, she is on a mission to discover the cause of her family's slaughter, and in doing so preserve this strange underworld kingdom from the malevolence that means to destroy it. And with nowhere else to turn, Richard Mayhew must now join the Lady Door's entourage in their determined - and possibly fatal - quest. For the dread journey ever-downward - through bizarre anachronisms and dangerous incongruities, and into dusty corners of stalled time - is Richard's final hope, his last road back to a "real" world that is growing disturbingly less real by the minute.

I am currently reading Battle Royale



I REALLY enjoy this novel. It is a little gorey, but it is well written, i really enjoy it. I cant really find a back read that will tell about the story without revealing important details. i wouldnt suggest wiki because i just looked at it, and it ruined a bit of the book for me =/

Different Loving by Gloria and William Brame

It's about different kinds of kinks with interviews with both tops and bottoms. It also talks a lot about the history of the D&S scene and how it deals with things like the notion of power and pain. It's really interesting.

Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye

sad, and funny--like any good satire.

I would also suggest his Post Office

i hate harry potter, so i dont know how i would compare it.
stephanie meyers is an amazing writer! the way she describes things and goes into
detail is so awesome. but it is made for teens to read, so i dont get the sexual and
sensual feel like i would with anne rice and her vampire books... i wish that it was
more on a sexual level, it would have made the book even more amazing, but like i said,
it was made for teens to read... annnnnd the writer went to BYU so she is mormon

Battle Royale like the asian movie. Grade 9 class gets kidnapped. thrown on this island. have to fight to survive. one man leaves?



The book i'm currently reading is 'Kingdom Of Fear' its kind of weird. Its like a Biography of Hunter S.Thompson and collection of stories but also talks about how America is changing with hits perception of fear or just fear in General.
