I wandered Chapters today aimlessly, trying to find a good book to get into, and I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I automatically go to the Biography section, or the self-help because those are my regular isles of choice. I absolutely hate walking around in circles at a book store, trying to make it look like I know what I'm looking for, just like everyone does!
I was looking for something to wow me, make me more aware, and maybe a just a little bit smarter.. I found nothing! Getting overwhelmed with all of the choices,I walk through the isles and start to sweat, so immediately head for he exit. That mission failed, so I tried a little on-line research....
THE INTERNET IS A WONDERLAND OF BOOK REVIEWS! God bless google!! I found some pretty cool-looking reads, and I am making an oath to read these books and write a review and share them with you and pass along the knowledge. I think I should start a book club!! (Thank God i'm not single)
Here they are:
I love Lydia Lunch- she is the no-wave punk princess, so any book about her crazy life is a good read. I read up on her latest book Will Work For Drugs. It is a collection of essays, fiction, poems, and interviews. As cliche as is sounds, this book is promised to not be another poster board for heroin punk, and I'm going to find out if that is true-- A review to come!
My second choice is How To Talk Dirty And Influence People by Lenny Bruce. Im a Lenny-lover, so I knew I would be interested in this book. It is a biography in his own words, and yes he talks about his drug habits, HOWEVER.. It's gotten great reviews, and his exposing hypocrisies is brilliant. I'm excited for this one!
and lastly, Hellions: Pop Culture's Rebel Women by Maria Raha. Nuff' said!!! I can't wait to dive in!
