The Junky's Christmas

The Wild Boys

The Wild Boys - Duran Duran

new and current

I'm reading one of my x-mas presents now. I got a $50 gift card for B&N and cashed it in today. This is what I got.

• Wild Boys by William S. Burroughs. It's been awhile since I've read Burroughs. I don't always like what he writes but it's always interesting.
• Comfort Me With Apples by Ruth Reichl. I've read two of her other books and follow her tweets. I haven't read any food books lately so this was the first one I chose.
• Stranger Than Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk. I read Haunted and Snuff earlier this year. He's written lots of books so there was a lot to choose from. This one looked the most interesting to me.

Unless my reading rate suddenly skyrockets, this should be my last book of the year. That means I'll have read 27 books this year. Not as many as I'd like, but not too bad, considering how busy I've been, and how lazy I've been.

I used to have these when I was in elementary school. Today I found them at the used bookstore and got them again. I love the cool sci-fi cover art. I also got:

• House of Stairs by William Sleator
• To the Land of the Electric Angel by William Rotsler
• Tik-Tok by John Sladek
• Roderick by John Sladek
