Don't get me wrong, it's a good read and the man know how to weave words keeping the reader in the moment. It could also be a self-help guide for women.

The Hell-Fire Clubs : sex, satanism and secret societies by Evelyn Lord.
probably the "definitive" book on the subject as she puts the work in required to say "this is what we know happened and this is what we speculate". Catriona, by Robert Louis Stevenson. A sequal to Kidnapped! !!!!! who knew??!?!?! Get more Alan Breck for your fix!!! (because he really is the coolest character that came out of this genre) Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. Dood, get a pen name!!!.... Especially when you're writing such cracking good american style horror/hard boiled detective novels, where people like Raymond Chandler and Steven King envy your ideas (or should). And thanks for the manly pages of booze, cigs, brawls, and sex. i'm getting tired of all this secret lives of bees bullshit.

Re: currently reading?
David Sedaris: "Me Talk Pretty One Day" (2000, Bay Side Books). A few years old, but still mighty hilarious. Sedaris is at his best with personal essays rather than fiction, although his dry wit and sarcasm may blur the line between these anyway!
And off the shelf, an old favorite: J.D. Salinger: "Franny & Zooey" (Little Brown, 1957). Book one, a tight little story about being sick of ego, ego ego! and having yourself a little breakdown. Book two: Glass family self-help (the original Tannenbaums), and moving toward a state of peace and self understanding after said breakdown.

Re: currently reading?
I finished 'boring, boring, boring, boring, boring' by Zach Plague. which is not really a good book but has some very good moments that at the end worth read the whole book to get them. It makes such an amazing ridicule of the art world. Is not that is bad neither.. maybe is just a normal book. I liked it i think.
Im reading now "2666" by Roberto Bolaños. Way too much to go. But i think is a beautiful apocalypse garantee in this one.

Re: currently reading?
Currently reading "The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible" by A.J. Jacobs, and I'm in love with it. Jacobs's last book, which I need to read too, is called The Know-It-All, where he read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica from A to Z. For this book he follows every rule as literally as possible and chronicles all the hilarious adventures from not touching his wife for a week after she menstruated to stoning an adulterer with pebbles.
