This makes me a pretentious liberal right?

The Ice Man - Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer, by Philip Carlo.

I'm about fifty pages shy of finishing and I've found it very interesting. This guy has killed over 100 people, some he'd feed alive to rats, some he'd kill with poison/guns/explosives/etc, the most memorable so far was when he stuck a flare gun in this guys asshole and fired it. The only problem is the book is somewhat poorly written. Philip Carlo has definitely done his research but he needs to take some more English classes. Nonetheless, it's a good'n.

true hallucinations: etc. by terrance mckenna
cosmic trigger by Robert Anton Wilson
the color of cities by can't remember
book on surrealism

I just had to take the Hitchens book (God is not Great) back before I could finish it but I would definitely recommend the first 80 or so pages.

Apparently a Kerbling doesn't have the power that it once had. It's a shame, I liked the 'Book Talk' thread, it had history.

"Drugs Are Nice" by Linda Crystal Carver.

The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman, which has a great opening of about 30 pages that about summarizes the entire book, and then into a belabored 'history of the internet and isn't it amazing what it has wrought' section which was tedious as hell and caused me to give up.
