I've been re-reading Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. First read it six or seven years ago and it's still one of my favorite books.

Favorite passage:

the chief of maintenance even gave Steven the key to a disused office on the Supper Club's neglected third floor, an old janitor's storage room that, unbeknownst to management, had been converted to a carpeted, furnished, and fully decorated pleasure pit, complete with a working phone. It was a space suitable for small gatherings, drug deals and empire building. The room was decorated with posters of Latina women penetrating themselves with vegetables, and it had been done up with pilfered carpet remnants and furniture from the adjoining Edison Hotel. As the space was located up a long flight of garbage-strewn back stairs, behind the reeking locker rooms, down a dark, unlit hall where spare china was stored, management never visited - and a young man could be secure in the knowledge that whatever dark business he was conducting, no matter how loud, unruly or felonious, he was unlikely to be disturbed.

Currently reading Alice in Wonderland. I know its a childs book but it is most interesting. I believe that the point the author is trying to make when he changes Alice's height is hinting at how easily one can go from feeling small to feeling large and vice versa. I.e. having power and not having power.

A book full of most interesting concepts.

Louis Carroll was a pedophile.

I'm reading "long walk to freedom" by nelson mandela. Pretty good so far, xhosa were pretty interesting people, you figure what's essentially a tribe would have little respect for women but they valued them highly while subscribing to traditional gender roles. That's the most boring part of the book too

Up next is a Walter Mosely book I picked up because I like easy rawlins books.

After that, JAMES FUCKING ELLROY has a new book and goddamn is my dick ever ready

Nelson Mandela put tires sprayed with gasoline around white kids necks and lit them on fire.

So I guess everybody has a fault in them somewhere.

Douglas Adams work is available as audiobooks on youtube, read by himself. The more popular titles several version of which some are better than others, with his writing style naturally providing two alternatives - waffling about ridiculous shit in seemingly random segues or droning about seemingly random shit in ridiculous segues. If this appeals to you, you can use the handy website Keepvid.com to download the file and play it on the road.
