I've just finished reading Italo Calvino's The Path To The Spiders' Nest.  For a first novel it's reasonably quaint (nothing like later post-modern Calvino) but quite touching and lovely despite the horrendous backdrop of the Italian Fascist occupation.

Now I'm dividing my time between Calvino's masterwork, Invisible Cities and Pierre Schaeffer's In Search Of A Concrete Music.   This balance sort of works given that both books can be read for a bit then left for a day or so.  Invisible Cities is a series of vignettes on imaginary cities and Schaeffer's is (for the most part) a series of diary entries.

Currently reading Caliban's War, the second in The Expanse series which is set far in the future and revolves around conflict in our solar system between Earth, Mars, and colonies on the asteroid belt (among other things). The first book in the series, Leviathan Wakes, was extreeemely good.

At a stand-still right now, but I've been working on Lord of the Rings. I'm halfway through the Fellowship, but I hope to finish all three in a timely fashion. Gotta love some good old LoTR smile

Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski. I love his blatant realistic style. Like a punch in the face! It's like READING dubstep.

Salmon Of Doubt by Douglas Adams. My mum bought me a set of all the Hitchhikers Guide, Dirk Gently and Salmon Of Doubt for christmas. Didn't know I'd already read them all except for the Salmon Of Doubt, bless 'er. Before that I was about halfway through a Lovecraft anthology that I'll pick up agai when I'm done with Doug.

I'm reading the 1Q84 trilogy right now, in Swedish. On the third book now. Love the dark writing style but there is a lot of repetition and I mean there is a lot of repetition...!

Has anyone read Oceans of Sound by David Toop (I think it was)? Have a memory of that being an interesting music read...
