the Bret Hart book is really awesome.
earlier this week, I finished up Bolan: the rise and fall of a 20th century star. great book. awaiting “on some faraway beach” , brian eno’s biography.
currently reading lame deer: seeker of visions.
I’m backed up with alot of Native American readings, which is fine by me. just yesterday I got “To Become a Human Being: The Message of Tadodado Chief Leon Shenandoah” . Before I get to that, I plan to read “Mother Earth Spirituality” and “the Lakota Way”
[reply]Currently reading Mr. B Gone by clive barker, so far it’s pretty slow, which is unexpected, considering it’s written from a demon’s perspective!

Cool did not know he had a new one out, I’ve been a Clive Barker reader since the Books of Blood era. As of late he has seemed to have lost some of his bite, but I enjoy his fantasy stuff just as much as his horror. Still waiting on the novel he’s working on where Pinhead meets Harry (Lord of Illusions) D’Amour.
Currently reading The Dark Descent, an omnibus of horror short stories. This one covers a lot of ground from early writers such as Poe, Lovecraft and Le Fanu to genre greats like Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, and Barker. (Who knew that Ambrose Bierce wrote a story somewhat anticipating the movie Predator over a century ago?)[/reply]
Wasn’t Harry introduced in Lord and then managed to slip into Everville? I know he was in it and a major actor in the plotline… Just wondering.
[reply]At the momment I’m reading the last Saul Williams book he released “Dead Emcee Scrolls”.
I don’t know if there is going to be a show near you, but he’s playing a show that goes on sale friday with Les claypool, secret chiefs 3 in NYC in march[/reply]
Thanks for the heads up but sadly I’m in Scotland.
I have been lucky enough to catch two of his live shows over the years though including his Niggy Tardust tour.
That show sounds great though…are you attending??

I just got my ticket this afternoon.
I haven’t seen any except les claypool and the last time i saw him was with primus in like 99/2000
Let us know how the show goes down. I’m sure it’ll be a beast!
Collapse, that’s pretty cool about the autograph. Is Imagica horror or fantasy.

it’s fantasy and horror. not fantasy like D&D, or horror in the typical sense either. it’s about the nature of love, death and religion. it’s not absurd though… it’s hard to explain really! i suppose, now that i’m thinking about it, it shares a lot in common with the bible, lol.
I’m reading Magicians of the Golden Dawn. Amazing, well documented and sadly out of print bio of the famous Golden Dawn occult group. I’m just getting started but have been blown away so far with the depth of research, a very rare thing for a book like this.
I’m also listening to Ender’s Game as a book on tape. I like to listen to books on tape as I drift off to sleep. Haven’t read this book for years and years, it’s good fun and surprisingly brutal.
right now i’m reading the legend of zelda vol 1 manga, tour smart (which is surprisingly really good), and about to start the new wayne dyer book…
yesterday i was perusing a book i read ages ago called generation Hex… wonderful read on magic and how people got into the craft and such…one of those disinfo books.
William S. Burrough’s “Naked Lunch”…required reading for the Ministry fan [;)]
Chris Connelly’s “Confessions Of The Highest Bidder”.
Also, Boyd Rice’s “Standing In Two Circles”. Very interesting read. That’s an old-school industrial artifact right there.
My ex-girlfriend let me borrow some Burroughs stuff on CD a while back. Man’s got some serious 'tude.
Liek Special Ed. I´ve got a fascination for biographies and the fate of famous folks.
Please Kill Me - The uncensored oral history of Punk " by Legs McNeil & gillian mcCain. pretty fascinating from Andy Warhol´s group of miserable people, velvet, MC5 to the Stooges to The Ramones & the whole NY “scene”. Very interesting read!
Just finished About a boy - Biography about Keith Moon of the Who
He was a madman…sadly!
HP Lovecraft Omnibus 1 - At the mountains of madness. Classic read!

Ha!! I’ve got that book! my sister got it for me about 10 years ago for my birthday! I like the picture of the real life Alfred E. Numen.
