Have you been reading any good books recently? - I crave knowledge.

I have been trying to read more this year. I have started by reading "Industrial Society and its Future" By Theodore Kaczynski. Honestly, It was a very good read and it provided some insight into current societal issues.

Here's some books that I am planning on reading this year (I may add some books by HP Lovecraft if I get far enough into this list.):

• The Metamorphoshis (Re-read).
• Wuthering Heights.
• The Stranger.
• Demian.
• Hell Screen.
• American Psycho (The book).
• No Country for Old Men (The book).
• The Vippu Drawing Manual.
• Realistic Figure Drawing by Joseph Sheppard.

Are you reading any books or planning on reading any? Is there any that you would recommend?

Jame Ellroy at his best. Incredibly violent and full of great old-timey racial slurs.

~1300 pages about an asshole self-hating jewish bureaucrat who ended up shaping 20th century NYC. One of the best biographies ever written.

I came here to recommend Ellroy. I'll read American Tabloid it sounds quite good.

I can't really remember if I've mentioned it before, but every now and then, I read Sharpe's Command. The more I read of it, the more appreciate it. The battle/scouting plans and the banter are engaging, but perhaps it helps that I used to binge-watch the ITV series. They take the piss out of Big Nosed Arthur (the Duke of Wellington) in both the series, and the books, as well.

Re-reading Stephen King's The Stand. I read it for the first time shortly after the original mini-series aired. That was a really, really long book for a kid but I loved it. Still holds up today.

I've started reading Robinson Crusoe. Hadn't the foggiest that his old man would be a German merchant, who moved to Hull, then up to York, where his youngest son, Robinson (of course) would be born. Crusoe's original family name is Kreutznaer.
