Top Five Books

1. Catch-22: Joseph Heller
Alan Arkin gives the performance of a lifetime as Yossarian in the movie version but, like Johnny Depp in Fear And Lothing In Las Vegas, unfortunately he's the only reason worth watching. Do the books instead.
2. The Dice Man: Luke Rhinehart
What if, for every decision you make, you listed options and rolled a D6?
3. Interview With The Vampire: Anne Rice
The exchange of blood is a thinly-disguised metaphor for sexual intercourse. This book is steamy! Of course, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt had that whole aspect of their characters' relationship excised from the screenplay to cover up their latent tendencies. The ass-hats.
4. Snowblind: Robert Sabbag
Real-life exploits of a reformed international drug dealer. Wanna get coke into the country? Infuse it in a white suit and wear it through customs!
5. Where I'm Calling From: Raymond Carver
I hope this is legal because it's an anthology of short stories, upon many of which the movie Short Cuts was based.

I don't read nearly enough.
