Re: What book are you reading now?

i've been just getting into Tommy Lee's biography Tommyland. Pretty good stuff so far. You can learn a lot from a guy who has lived the lives most of us only dream of, and then fucked it up...only to live to tell about it.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Since I moved to sf I have a nasty habit of reading like 4-5-6 books at once -opposed to plowing through them one at a time. Anyone else do this? Any negatives?


No Logo by Naomi Klein
Branding and the evils of brands.

& (inversely)

Chasing Cool
Branding and the essence creating and maintaining a cool brand.

&

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol by Andy Warhol
Basically Andy talking about life and experience through his pretty quirky filter. Pretty fun read.

& (the bane of my existence)

Processing (Creative Coding and Computational Art) by Ira Greenberg
Basically a bible for the data visualization application processing. It's a bitch but it's really fucking amazing what some people are doing with it.

I do that.

Aside from school texts and MCAT shit, I'm reading a book on Commodities, Thomas Paine, and Greek Mythology all at the same time.

i hate doing that, maybe it's just me, but i like to keep my head wrapped around one at a time. to me i get more out of it than when i've tried to ready a few at a time.

Re: What book are you reading now?

right now I'm reading The Horses Mouth by Joyce Cary (I think thats the author)
freakonomics was good.
celestine prophecy was really good, if yer into that sort of thing. Did anyone read all 3 of that series though? I thought the 2nd and 3rd were weak, I was disappointed.
Stranger in a Strange Land, I re-read that every so often just so I don't forget.
