I am currently reading two books. A non-fiction book called The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. And a fiction book called Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

Desmond Morris is ace. Have read his work so many times-in interview he seems a sound chap too. If you like this, you should check out 'The Third Chimpanzee' and 'Guns, Germs and Steel', by Jarred Diamond, his stuff if very cleaverly observed and written with a wonderfully dry wit. The former, I have read 3 or 4 times but someone has lifted my copy-:mad:

This is probably more informative than anything I've read in Library Technician school. It's also filled to the brim with wit and sarcasm.

"Invisible Monsters is great."

Yeah its really good so far. My favorite by Chuck though is Rant and Haunted.

Yeah I've heard the Naked Ape is hard to find, some of my friends had to special order it. Mine was left over from my dad when my parents died. I've read it once through already but it's so good I had to start reading it over again.

If you havent read it, your missing out. This prize winner is a very complex, dark weaving of many characters in tough horrific situations. With seamless plot development, the reader is propelled right through to a melancholy end.

Straubs dark prose has been called "intellectual horror". Its worth your time if havent read it.

If you need some help breakin down barriers musically and maybe a little guidance through life and through life through music, check out: The Music Lesson, A spiritual search for growth through music. Explains alot about things I never thought of. I really recommend it.

Oh, it's one of those movin' books. Unlike the book "How to Post in the Right Topic", which is a work of which I am certain you are VERY familiar.
