What am I reading......NOW?
09/25/06 at 4:42pm

Before this thread ever gets started, I've gone ahead and started my own blog about it: http://cscottjamesreadingblog.blogspot.com.

As revealed elsewhere on the boards, this was created first to actually upload some files onto the net, though it didn't work out as I hoped. But since I've entered the Dark Side, otherwise known as the blogosphere, I might as well keep it up.

Reply #5 - 11/30/06 at 2:36pm i recently finished reading 1984. i'm proud of myself, it's probably only the 4th book book i've read this year. "book book"s meaning books with lots of words (as opposed to books with lots of art, drawings or photographs - what i usually read).

I was just talking to someone about that book last weekend. When you finish, tell me if it's worth it. **Edited to say: you are reading a short story. I was thinking of a novel. Now I have no idea which one. Ignore me.

Reply #12 - 01/30/07 at 2:40pm Yeah, I'm reading his bibliography and I'm totally confused as to which book was actually recommended to me. Clearly I should drink less.

...the latest issue of Wax Poetics. I'm pissed coz they have Lee Perry on the cover yet the feature about him is taken directly from the biography People Funny Boy, which I read a couple years ago. So what if they revised the book!! Don't get a fan's hopes up on discovering something fresh and hit 'em with an excerpt they probably already read.

grrr. Still, the issue is pretty slamming, lots of articles & reviews about/of reggae & jamaica of hte 70s.
