Good evening everyone, wishing you a nice weekend with much reading.

Thanks very much for your continued support.

1. Currently Reading: Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr. 

Long overdue. Great so far but Whuff...It's a rough one.

2. The Sermon by Recoil

A very cool track from former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder's experimental project...Wait till that sick synth drops at 2:50

3. "Tell the truth. The ego is never the truth."When Henry Rollins became friends with Hubert Selby Jr.

4. The time Cioran met Camus

5. Pink Elephants on Parade

This frightened me when I was a kid and it still does.

Thanks Cliff. I read Last Exit earlier on this year, certainly memorable. I must revisit it in the future. I just finished Djunes Barnes' 1936 novel Nightwood set in 1920s Paris. A short, modernist book which kind of works. Currently reading Arthur Koestler's novel Darkness at Noon (1940) about the incarceration of a man by a totalitarian regime, a regime that he helped to create.

I could only read part of Last Exit. Too intense. Right now I'm reading Helter Skelter, about the 1969 Charles Manson murders. Fascinating.

I’ve been meaning to pick up Last Exit for years but for what ever reason I just haven’t. I pick it up at the bookstore all the time and have every intention of buying it but never do. Dunno why. It’s funny I just finished The Black Dahlia last week. I’m a huge fan of L.A Confidential (both book and movie) so I gave it a go. It’s great. The pacing is solid. There is a bit of padding but it’s well written so it doesn’t really matter.
