I just read the whole of Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas in six hours. I think my head is going to explode.

Fact:  If too much awesome is in your mind at once, you will pass out and someone else will wake up.

I must try this some day.

In the middle of a collection of Jorge Luis Borges' fictions, and RAW's Quantum Psychology.

I think I need to add some humor in there. I mean, Wilson has humor but not the right kind I'm talking about.

I'm reading Borges' fictions too, but in Spanish. I don't think I'm good enough to comprehend a fair share of it, though.

Has anyone here read that book "How to teach your dog physics"?  I was considering getting it for someone's birthday present.

For those six hours, and a few hours afterwords, I felt something very much akin to 20mg of Adderall, but without the unpleasant side effects. My synapses were full of gonzo. I thought I would finish it later today, but the effect it had on me meant there was no way I was getting to sleep without finishing it.

OK, got the first Sinister Forces book today.  Anyone who mentions Lovecraft, Columbus and Islamic imperialism in the first two pages of their book is alright by me.

Just finished The King in Yellow and The Gods of Pegāna.  I can see why they've had so much influence, although the former has a lot less of the horror aspect than I expected.  The latter is somewhat gnostic.

Next is Slaughterhouse-Five to finish, and then I'm going to see if The Republic is worth its reputation.

Even reading it in English there are so many references to Argentinian places and history (I guess, maybe other Spanish countries too) that you have to read tons of footnotes to get it.

I have a collection of Borges' fiction that a friend bought for me, but it's been sitting on my bedside table for six years and I've never opened it.

I like Borges.  Short, to the point, good writing, an occasional mindfuck.

I have started The Great Shark Hunt, but I put it on hold to read Columbine by Dave Cullen. Hell of a read, and clarifies a lot of the rumors and misinformation surrounding the tragedy, and just as importantly covers how that misinformation became so widespread so quickly. It's a recent release, too; the author spent nine years researching this shit.

I have started The Great Shark Hunt,

HST's second worst book.
