reading rainbow | Allyson in Wonderland

Remember how I was reading Atlas Shrugged…

Yaaaaa, it was kind of long so I'm going to take a little break and go in a completely different direction. I'm currently rereading Bret Easton Ellis's, Less Than Zero so that I can be prepared for his latest work Imperial Bedrooms.

This book starts 25 years after Less Than Zero left off. So in the spirit of 80's excess, I'm listening to some of the best yuppy music I can find.

So sit back, pop your collar, and rock out.

Everything She Wants – Wham

Do You Really Want to Hurt Me – Culture Club

How Soon Is Now – The Smiths

White Wedding – Billy Idol

I Ran – A Flock of Seagulls

Faith – George Michael

In The Air Tonight – Phil Collins

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta."

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

(The original 1962 version with James Mason and Sue Lyon is much better than the 1997 remake.)

So let's talk books. And charity.

Out of Print Clothing is a tee shirt company that makes printed tees using out-of-print bookcovers as their inspiration. For every tee they sell, they will give one book to the charity Books for Africa.

For the guys…
