As audiobook. It's good, but it's hard to listen to when the guy reading it gets in the character of the teenage girl

Just finished:

Now on to "Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas" (everyone seems to be reading this, hoping it's better than the movie which I loved)

I'm reading "the state of africa". all about how the european powers divided up the continent between them, splitting some cultural groups and forcing others that hated eachother into new countries, and then how those countries became independant.
very interesting, a lot of history I was totally ignorant of

Author? I love African history.

I'm reading Orhan Pamuk's 'Snow'. He was actually taken to court by the Turkish government for it, which is what attracted me. It's about religious fundamentalism in Western Turkey, and the push-pull between religion and secularism in the Middle East. A Turkish poet-in-exile comes back to Turkey to work for a paper, and goes to Kars to write about a rash of Islamic girls committing suicide. Very interesting premise, and the writing is absolutely glorious. The particularly offensive parts for the government were the acknowledgments of the genocide against the Armenians in 1915, though it's really only in passing as background for the story. Pamuk gets the last laugh I guess though, as he won a Nobel Prize for Literature.

The R. Crumb Handbook...a hard cover comic book that's way easier to read than a real comic book.

I love Vonnegut's writing style, can't get enough of it. He has a bunch of books but they're all quick reads not so much in that they're short but they're interesting so that they don't let you put the book down.

I recently read his book "Man Without A Country" as well...not a novel but a bit of a memoir, really interesting to see Vonnegut's views on the world of today with his witty humor thrown in.
