  1. Depress­ing bunch of books. Light­en up between by read­ing Richard Rus­so’s ‘Straight Man’.
    I would stay away from ‘The Cor­rec­tions’. Read it and want­ed to throw it across the room. Depress­ing book about dys­func­tion­al sib­lings and a 50’s era mar­riage. Not a fun read, may be well writ­ten, but who cares when it makes you feel so damned awful read­ing it?
    Ran­dom­ly surfed your way. Good luck on that list.

  2. Yeah, read only hap­py books, watch hap­py movies, lis­ten to hap­py music, talk to hap­py peo­ple, think hap­py things. Jesus Christ, now I’m angry.

    Any­way: Space Mer­chants. A pos­si­ble addi­tion, unless you’ve already read it. And for the love of God, read The Cor­rec­tions, but maybe not before A Heart­break­ing Work of Stag­ger­ing Genius.
