    I finished reading 'The Book of Five Rings' (similar to Hagakure, the Bushido and such, japanese philosophy and swordmanship stuff).
    Now I'd like to get off amazon 'The Playboy interviews: Directors' (Interviews of Eastwood, Bergman, Cohen bros and more film directors). I hope I don't have any issues with local customs by ordering a book abroads :/

    silmarillion. I have never read tolkien before, so I thought I'd start with the actual first one.
    I'm not a big reader actually, the last thing I read that amused me were the walking dead comics.. and before that I only read if I had to for school..

    Currently finishing up rereading After Dark, by my favourite author Haruki Murakami. Another Japanese author, new to me, is up next...

    Reading two books at the moment, one for University and one for enjoyment, but both have been enjoyable.

    I love tolkien, but the silmarillion is mind-numbingly boring. Like reading a god damn history text book. Still worth reading though

    I actually just finished the hobbit again. Next on the list is Catch-22

    It's supposedly a classic. I read it, but couldn't quite get into it at the time. I should reread it sometime.

    I don't have much time to read so the time i do have, i try to read "the classics". 1984, Brave New World, the Sound and the Fury, and Catcher in the Rye were some of the ones i read last year.

    Besides Transworld and other skate-related stuff (Mullen's autobiography, Impossible, The evolution of the deck, etc) and whatever the fuck I'm reading for class, I tend to split my reading between the bathroom and the rest of my life lol.
    here are my 3 currents:

    Toilet:

    Encounters - My school's bi-quarterly literature publication. Poems, short stories, and plenty of great photos. Perfect for me to pick up & put down at nature's whim.

    Everywhere Else:

    A great book championing for the acceptance and celebration of natural hair among African Americans (most black people hate their hair)
    &

    A crumby book on networking. Cuz I'm great at meeting people, but I'm terrible at doing so with a goal in mind....either I like you or I don't, and I don't really ask for favors...but I intend to write for magazines, so I need to work on my Rolodex in that industry :/
