Funky_Gibbon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just about to finish LA Confidential, really enjoyed it up to now LA Confidential is a great book and quite different from the film. If you like it then you'd love American Tabloid or The Cold Six Thousand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shh! Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman" by Haruki Murakami. Short stories, its good, not his best but still enjoyably surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samesame monkey Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Just started 'The Gum Thief' by Douglas Coupland. Early days but it's pretty good so far, much better than 'J-Pod' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Blowing It by Judy Astley, a fifty something lady with a witty and wicked way with words. Tells it how it is. Saucy and very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am currently reading: Female Chauvinist Pigs: Woman and the Rise of Raunch Culture by Ariel Levy If it concerns you that vacuous celebs and It-girls are held up as role models for young women then this is the book for you. (Thinks of Jess) Levy, like a lot of women, seems perplexed by the way that intelligent straight women are going to pole dancing clubs for kicks and that women who essentially feign desire for a living are used as a symbol of female sexual liberation. The book primarily explores American culture, so although the points of reference may not be recognisable, the issues that she raises are universal to the West. There are chapters that deal with Playboy & SATC (to name a few) and Hooters also gets a mention. Is is a very accessible, readable book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
