Pinecone but lots of fun 9/10

Still can't get into Delillo still convinced hes the real head of ISIS 6/10

Great. Lucid and illuminating took me 3hrs to read it all. 9/10
>How the Scots Invented the Modern World
7/10 increased my nationalism and boasting about how everything great is Scottish, much to the chagrin of my Greek girlfriend
>Cathedral
Bored me immensely. I like melancholy and whatnot but this felt like a suburban Hemmingway. 4/10

>Suttree
Ye. 9/10

Love me some Nick Cave and this was frightfully weird 7/10

I was never big into videogames, Ive had PS consoles since I was eleven. Its fun to play with friends, but if I spend longer than 2-3 hours playing I get bored and turn it off. I know people who'll forgo sleep to play whatever they want for 10-12 hours, be really tired and lifeless the next day and "not know why" its fucked.
