I'm re-reading "You Can't Win," by Jack Black.

No, not the actor, but a guy born in 1871 who was a hobo and professional thief. It's his autobiography and one of the best books you've never heard of. William Burrough's favorite book, as well.

I won't spoil the joy of reading it with details. If you want a very, very interesting account of criminal life from 100 years ago, find a copy. You won't be able to put it down.

Just bought this one from Amazon - sounds incredible! Thanks for the heads up.

im curious if anyone has read the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson? ive seen the first book, Quicksilver, at the store so many times, and read tons of good things about it. Im going on a long business trip on friday, and im almost done with the honor harrington series.

I've finished reading the first two books, currently on the third (System of the World). Quicksilver can be quite slow at times, in fact the whole series is a slog. The end part of the second book was really good, almost worth reading the preceding parts, but I would start the series only if you're a real fast reader
 
I would read Stephenson's Cryptonomicon instead, which fits his writing style better (asides for aside's sake, pretty much).

Recently finished Terry Goodkind's "Chainfire" and the newly-released "Phantom". The Sword of Truth series is my long-running favourite, after Sara Douglass's magical Axis Trilogy.

Yes, I'm an avid fantasy reader.

It is good for reference, Thanks for your help!

I've started re-reading my entire Feist collection. I'm reading "A Darkness at Sethanon" right now. Somehow these books are far worse than the first one of the series.

After this, I'll probably go through some Bukowski again. Ham on Rye is always a great read.

Probably shouldn't admit it, but I've done a little drinking at some of Bukowski's favorite haunts.

Not much to say about it really. I think I expected more.
