The Civil Wars sereis by Marvel Comics
I am looking at the pictures of all the great babes in the book "The Dog Whisperer", but I can't read.
I am going to get on the phone and call Cesar Millan right now to see if he can help me.
Peter walks in and grabs the phone away from me, then says it is time for me to go outside.

I got about a book and a half through that before I lost interest gave up on it. I quite liked The Illuminatus! Trilogy, but this set just couldn't keep me interested. I might go back to it one of these days just to finish it off.

Nearly finished Mason & Dixon - Pynchon's writing might actually be growing on me, who knew. :dunno:
Confessions of a Crap Artist by Philip K. Dick.
The first book seemed to mostly be an exercise in demonstrating that anything that can happen, does happen- a novel idea that is somewhat lacking as a novel. The second book was better for me in terms of story where each chapter was almost it's own segment. The biggest flaw I think is a real lack of character development and it's pretty much required that you be familiar with the characters from Illuminatis to get any kind of connection there.
Illumanatis could be a good read on it's own, but I guess for the rest of Wilson's stuff you have to appreciate his style, and it appeals to a narrower audience.
Twice I've managed to get distracted away from going further than the first chapter of Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49. Oh, well. maybe someday. Gravity's Rainbow sounds promising.
The twilight saga because I always stay one step ahead of my girlfriend by knowing more than her no matter what the cost. And let me tell you it is a large cost!
