american gods, by neil gaiman. it's good so far. i like his ideas better than his writing style or descriptive power. so far, i like this book better than neverwhere, which i read a little while ago.

american psycho is a great book. i was impressed with the sheer amount of effort that was put into describing everyone's wardrobe. that, and the album reviews, of course. i think i've read few things as graphic as that book.

That was a great book with an interesting premise behind it.

Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation

Includes:

a queen bee worried because all of her lovers drop dead during sex
gay octopi and bottle-nosed dolphins
super-lover drosophilia
a praying mantis who bites off the heads of her lovers because they're more satisfying without their heads
etc

It's a fun read and backed up by science, anecdotes to other species, and references in the appendix.

I picked it up because I saw a photo of the author having a drink at a party with Craig Venter and the astronomer Lord Rees. Is that a bad reason or a good reason?
