The last five books I read:
Nature Speaks by Tsai Chih Chung
Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner
Ruining It For Everybody by Jim Knipfel
Snorlax's Snack by Junko Wada
What Liberal Media? by Eric Alterman
I highly recommend all of them. Especially the Snorlax one.

Also, go get Woody Allen's "Without Feathers" or "Side Effects." And the Daily Show book, but don't read it for like...a year or so.
Posted by: aaron at December 15, 2004 01:51 PMDo NOT read Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Do, however, read Truth And Fiction In The Da Vinci Code, by Bart Ehrman.
Also, read Nickel and Dimed . . . if you're up to date on your BP meds.
Posted by: Doombot at December 15, 2004 04:20 PMOh Hilatron, here is what you must read:
The Chap Almanac
&
The Chap Manifesto
by the chapists!
Beijing Doll by Chung Sue
About the life of a teen rebel in Communist China
Mr. Nice by Howard Marks
Britain's Biggest Oxford-educated Drug Smuggler
Also, I highly recommend all of the "Best American Non-required Reading" series edited by Dave Eggers, who has better taste than talent, & a group of teens.
Right now I'm re-reading Hollywood Babylon. That's always good for a few laughs and some hairstyle jealousy.
I apologize for my grammar -- my new job is eating my brain!
I forget, have you read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman? Cuz they are the best. books. ever. (and given how much I hate the whole "period between each word for emphasis" thing, you should appreciate how much I mean this).
Posted by: EV at December 16, 2004 10:05 AMhis dark materials is AMAZING. well, I've only read the first two, but I'm sure the third is equally fantastic. I can't wait to see how the movie people make it so it's not all about how evil the church is. nice.
