I read that "the human zoo" book once.

I don't enjoy reading fiction.

I do read non-fiction.
For uni, for my thesis, and the rare book for myself.

Where's the love for Fantasy?  Also, non-fiction.  I tend to read a lot of magazines lately, too, like Scientific American and Maclean's and Popular Mechanics (and Reader's Digest *welp*).

I enjoy reading spin off topics

You should all read The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

I stole this from a charity shop once. I read half of it but can't remember why I never finished it. I can't remember anything about it though, since I was 15 at the time.

I'll be honest in saying most of the books I read are christian books so fiction/non fiction delete as appropriate. I've often been told to "read a novel or something." I probably really should.

you stole from a charity shop yet your a christian

your going to hell dude

recommend me some good nonfiction books.

is maclean's actually any good? it just looks like a canadian time/newsweek

i have heard good things about 'freakonomics' you could try that out if you think you can wrap your head around it

right now i'm reading an anthology of dfw essays, that mcsweeney's that chris ware did, some comic analysis book, crying of lot 49, and the sound and the fury. i have also read a small part of dan brown's body of work, gonna look into some susan stewart collections because she's a cool lady, and i have been hoarding redundant issues of boulevard for a while but idk if i will ever open one. i should probably finish yiddish policemen's league since i started it before i left for school. someone left this book about eating bugs on a table so i read half of that and that was pretty interesting and non-fiction, it was this one. i don't think i could eat a tarantula, it would not feel right. anything else would probably be ok though. i don't know, they seem too mammalian. actually they probably don't have the hairs anymore since those are irritants.

i have been meaning to check out z magazine and off our backs and believer for a while but the only one i've actually looked at is believer, note to self read things

Yeah I mostly read non-fiction.

mostly non-fiction. I recently finished a pretty cool book about how the 'back to bop' movement has ruined jazz, and at the moment I'm going through Che Guevarra's diaries (read his cuban one, halfway through bolivian and got motorcycle to go). They're really good, it's weird seeing how his actions contrast with those he's fighting against, and how compassionate he is. I wouldn't wear one of those t-shirts, but still he seems like a great man.
I haven't read much fiction in a while, i used to read star wars books, but they're terrible and don't count. I never understood why Harry Potter and LOTR were so great, and Twilight or Da Vinci code are just as bad if not worse than Star Wars books, so I'm avoiding those like the fucking plague.
I don't read more than a few hours a week though, hopefully more when uni starts back up and I have two train journeys every day to fill-up. Other than that it's various Art History books, and that kinda shit. It's interesting and fun though. Max Ernst and Alchamy is a great read.

You should all read The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

the good thing about this book was in 4th form chemistry i knew bromide water is used to stop people getting randy. aside from that it's not that great, the writing style is really lazy and some parts are plain ridiculous.

The last book i read was called "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling. if you go to amazon.co.uk it costs around £120 to buy brand new (i got it for like, £3 i think) last time i checked. its an ok book but nothing really happens in it.... still it had interesting things in it like people using fungi to clean themselves, it grows into there pores, and then it dies and when it comes out it takes all the dirt with it. there are even talking dogs, one had its own TV show.

EDIT: ummm yeah i read a lot, pretty much all the time, have so many novels floating about, a lot of fantasy, some sci-fi.

recently i read long winded postmodern mega novels. i enjoying them thorough!!
