Some of the books I have read lately...in no particular order

Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway (My first taste of Hemingway...don't know how I feel about it)
Redneck Manifesto - Jim Goad (Recommended by friend, he now claims he has never read it. I now have no idea how I ended picking this one up. Very informative.)
Sailor Song - Ken Kesey (Rollar-coaster ride, damn good book.)
The Beach - Alex Garland (Better than the movie...as always.)
On the Road - Jack Kerouac (Classic, must read)
The Rum Diary - Hunter S. Thompson (set in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'll be there on the 21st of next month!)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson (the closest movie adaptation I have ever seen from a book)
Dharma Bums - Jack Kerouac (dare I say, better than "On the Road"???)
Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (A wee bit scatter-brained for me)

This is one of the most entertaining books that I have read in a long time. There is a sequel called "Hayduke Lives" that I want to find.

Here are some of the books that I got for Christmas:

Paulo Coehlo - The Alchemist
David Suzuki - Earth Time
J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Chic Scott - Pushing the Limits: The Story of Canadian Mountaineering
Nicholas Schaffner - Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Oddyssey
Robertson Davies - What's Bred in the Bone (I didn't get this for Christmas, but I am reading it right now...much to my father's delight!)
