Moby Dick

Moby-Dick by Herman Melvill, I haven’t actually read this one, but I’ve heard such good things I thought I should mention it.

Elvis

Denounced as tabloid trash when first published, this 1981 bio is anything but. Goldman has a brilliant eye for detail and larger-than-what-you-see analysis. And the descriptions of the way this hillbilly lived are just laugh-out-loud funny.

Story of My Life

Some say Jay McInerney partied too much and it hurt his output, but the fact that the party produced this brilliant, hysterically funny description of the party makes the partying worth it in my book. That the novel’s narrator is based on a young woman who, I’ve heard lately, grew up to become John Edwards’ mistress of course only makes it better.

Don Quixote

The fact that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza have been ripped off as Ralph Kramden­/Ed Norton and Fred Flintstone/Barney Rubble should tell you something about why this first great novel endures.

Most of S J Perelman

The man who wrote many Marx Brothers movies was the greatest wordsmith America has ever produced. This collection brings together his comic essays, most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker. You have to read him with a dictionary, but it’s worth it.

Unhinged

Favorite part of Omarosa's book: Melania sends messages with her clothes. Like her "don't even think about fucking me" pumps. Perfect for the "go hither" look in her eye.

Thrive

Look what arrived here today! Arianna Huffington's new book, "Thrive" - I read it in galleys, and its one of the few worth reading again!

Mugged

Reading Ann Coulter's book to prepare for her appearance on Real Time tomorrow. Oh, this should be good.
