Whatcha' Reading?

If anyone is curious as to what I'm currently reading.  I've read this before

... and I've really enjoyed it.  It's been so long it's like I'm re-reading it again.  But Barker is always a good time to be sure.  What are your thoughts Dear Readers about Mr. Barker?  Like him?  Dislike him?  I first read The Damnation Game when I was eleven, probably a little too young to be reading it, but I remember liking it quite a bit, though that makes sense since I was reading Alan Moore's run at Swamp Thing at the age of six.  Weird ginger, party of one, my table is ready.

I just finished this Generation of Swine by that maniac journalist, Hunter S. Thompson.  A bit more revelant for me than Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72' though I was still a young pup nursing on the teat of life.  Good read.  Looking forward to the book coming by way of Amazon, Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie.  Delicious.  What are your thoughts on the ole gent HST?  Like em'?  Hate him?  Don't know how he is?  If you've never read either writers give them a chance, you might like them.  If you have read them give the books a second or third read through and enjoy all over again.
