Nothing like a good, depressing Dostoyevsky to sit down and read with a cup of coffee in the afternoon :D

Re: BOOK! (Hardcopy edition)
I am into rock criticism lately.
On the nightstand currently:
Greil Marcus, _Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music_ (1974).
Dated and a bit pompous, but has moments. Some good investigations of the roots of rock in 1920s blues recordings and American country music. If you're into The Band, it's a must-read.
The best rock criticism is by Lester Bangs. He's a trip. Try the compilation of his columns called _Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung_.

Bones rediscovered his German roots. Great book, the Myth of Germany Vallainy.
..gnutella..
Re: BOOK! (Hardcopy edition)
^^ Nah, just discovering the truth about WWI and II, and also a fan of Germanic and Norse mythology/that old time religion. Happy New Year, sim!
^ I do have a little on my dad's side, bacon. I am enjoying the book quite a bit. The more I read, the more I realize the extent of the bullshit we are fed in American schools, Hollywood, etc.
P.S. My wife and I are going to the local community college soon to learn German. :O

^ Cool and good luck, love learning languages. We are quite a few here in the grill that are bilingual, trilingual etc. It's all good.
And btw Bones, you probably know a norse myth then. Vikings did not have horns in their helmets, typical Hollywood bullshit :/
cheerio
