What are you reading?

The Handbook for drinking. Damn fine read! That it`s not yet drenched in drinks I spewed out laughing is a drunken miracle!

One question though, who does all the cool drawings to be found in there and the magazine`s articles? The boss FKR himself, or some sweatshop working chinese children who`ve never heard of clean water let alone alcohol?

So I can understand our governing bodies, I'm reading Das Kapital by Karl Marx, the beloved of the left wing.

You purchased that in your box of goodies from this site, I bet.

Well done, young fellow

Delved into the phone book, with a good bourbon. I`m already at "P", but don`t tell me how it ends

The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce Vol. 1: The World of Horror
I rediscovered this book in one of those moments of synchronicity. I had been reading a Lovecraftian cyclopedia, and the editor kept referencing Bierce in regards to the names of characters and cities that various authors used as an homage to him. A few days later, I finished a sub-par scifi novel about an asteroid and went back to the box that I found it in and re-found this book.

More people should read Bierce. He's almost like a Mirror, Mirror Mark Twain.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hunter S. Thompson, 1971

that`s a bible to me!
The anxiety he describes when entering the Vegas airport fully loaded can not be captured in any movie

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors: A Search for Who We Are by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan. I cannot recommend this book highly enough; it even has plenty of information about alcohol use and drinking culture.

If you see a copy then snap it up without any shilly-shallying and enjoy a damn fine, and surprisingly easy, read, given form by one of one of the finest minds of our times.
