You're supposed to read that at an all-night diner counter, with a big omelette.

Yeah I got that feeling. Definitely would work as an all-in-one-go read.

I misread your post to mean I should read it in a diner all in a single night.

I was just being silly.
You're really supposed to read it aloud, with Björk, and every time someone wets themself (in the story, mind you) you have to drink a shot of eggnog.

Björk doing an audiobook reading of this I would be up for.

Lulu in Hollywood, the autobiography of Louise Brooks, who was a bad-ass silent-era Hollywood film actress. Good stories, eye-opening stuff.

This might be my very favorite book about film/Hollywood. Either this or Hitchcock/Truffaut.

I see what you did there!

Reading some of the Amsterdam Cops series by Janwillem van de Wetering. Right now is a later work, The Perfidious Parrot.

Finished two books last night:

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (John le Carré) - Pretty cool except like it felt like a lot of things happened at the last moment. That might be because I didn't really understand the details of the plot - a common thing for me with stories like these. Anyway I liked the setting and the mood and the writing and will likely seek out some more books by this dude.

Tokyo Ueno Station (Yu Miri) - I liked this one a lot.

Working my way through any Poe Ballantine book I can get my hands on. People have been telling me to read him for years, and being the Davey-come-lately that I am, I’m finally getting to it. Just finished Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere and currently reading 501 Minutes to Christ.
