What's Everyone Reading At The Moment?

[realitybites]

Didn't you formerly post here as Icicles?

I hope you're doing well. There's someone for everyone.

No. I think Icicles was Elizabeth from New Jersey. She used to talk about her trip to Iceland.

I've only posted as realitybites.

There is a relative of the Ebola virus named after my hometown of Reston, Virginia. The Hot Zone is a nonfiction thriller about the Marburg Virus, The Ebola Virus, and the Reston Virus. This is one of the most disgusting, gory, and horrifying things I've ever read in my life, and it's all true.

Alice Munro just won the Nobel Prize for Literature. She's one of my favorites.

Paul Krugman - Conscience of a Liberal


Superb book about progressive politics in America ( or , indeed , the reasons behind the lack thereof )....

 

[DAVIE]

okay, he got fame through a terrible game show (which I never watched). I actually got to know his name through a band called The Lovedogs and found this book at the library so I thought 'why not'? It's actually pretty good. He didn't always have tourettes, which is quite strange and it gives you an insight to his broke down family and even mentions Siouxie and the Banshees as his mother played with them at many of their gigs. He is a real Adam Ant/Jim Carrey type character. Strange indeed!

Peter Warlock - The Life Of Philip Heseltine


Great biography of a fascinating composer. His song cycle "The Curlew" is one of the most sad and affecting bits of music I've heard. Can still remember reading some accounts of the work and then wandering into the HMV store in the city , then happily finding an album of his just sitting there in the rack , almost as though it was waiting for me ...

A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst by Hosho McCreesh. My favorite small press poet. He deserves a bigger audience.
