			Recently read; Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque by Joyce Carol Oates  A great writer of scary, disturbing tales. Met her last week and she's a shining miracle of a woman. She signed my copy, answered a question...it was a wonderful experience. Next was Invisible Monsters by Chuck Pahlaniuk, a book that asks lots of interesting questions about gender, body image and identity in this day and age. Good stuff. Started Thomas Ligotti's Teatro Grottesco. Looks promising and I hear nothing but good things about his body of work.

			Working on Anton Chekhov's Cherry Orchard in class, so I've been reading through a collection of his stories to help get in that world. Really amazing stuff. Plus, the collection I've got has everything in the order they were written, which really gives a fascinating look into his life. Can't believe that I never used to like this guy - had to really sit down to study him before I could appreciate his work.

			Sure have Doc.In fact that book was very influential for me when I was a teen.Still is I suppose,though my teen years are now a thing of the distant past.I list Camus among my favorite 3 or 4 writers.

			I like a lot of things he had to say in there. I was in a production of his Caligula back in college, reread the stuff and found it much more substantial and less nihilistic than a lot of other existentialism.
