Vince's book was really good, just finished it. A quick read, and yes, these guys should have been dead long ago. Next to The Dirt and maybe The Heroin Diaries from Sixx, Tattoos is one of the better Crue books. Better than Tommyland, in my opinion.

I don't think I could read Sixx's memoirs-not after I heard about the spaghetti incident!

No - you absolutely DO NOT!!
I read The Dirt and felt so dirty, I should've scrub myself with Clorox.
The Troop. Gross. So far it's not much more than that-minimal characterization (and some of that 'borrowed' from The Body, Carrie, etc--author is definitely a King fan), not much in the way of world-building either (just some more borrowing, this time from Lord of the Flies). Only about a quarter of the way through, though; maybe it will pick up.
EDIT: Just read an interview with the author wherein he cites the influences mentioned above (amongst others). I feel a bit better about it now & have hopes that it will shift into high gear soon.

I finished Timothy Geithner's Stress Test. It's a great book for anyone who wants to understand the financial crisis from 2008-09.
I'm reading Robert Wilson's A Small Death in Lisbon. Someone recommended so I'm giving it a read.

For all book/humanities lovers, I dearly recommend the movie "wit"(2001) with Emma Thompson. She plays a 17th century poetry teacher who undergoes chemotherapy for stage 4 ovary cancer. An irreverent, different and sad story, marked by the incredible acting talent of that actress. It should have won an oscar!
I finished Poppy Z. Brite's Exquisite Corpse and it was quite the gory experience 
, has anyone here read it yet? Now I'm reading Dan Simmon's Song of Kali, I'm really enjoying it

I have recently bought a copy of Naomi's Room by Jonathan Aycliffe, which I've heard a lot of very good things about. I really hope it lives up to the billing it's been given. Plenty of people say it's the scariest book they've ever read.

I loved Song Of Kali but I never want to visit Calcutta after reading it!!!I finished Poppy Z. Brite's Exquisite Corpse and it was quite the gory experience
First in line today in the book store before heading to college. Pathetic, some losers might say... "Edge of Eternity". immensely entertaining book. Even if you skipped the 2nd book - because it was dreadful maybe because Follet was tired of writing about WW2 - you will understand everything in the third. Gosh, the cold war might be the most exciting era to have been alive. Or more scary, it depends on the perspective.
