I read constantly... It's like a sickness almost. Right now I'm readin' The Scar by China Mi�ville, the guy who wrote Perdido Street Station, which was a simply mindboggling novel... my other faves are Neil Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Michel Farber, Irvine Welsh, William Gibson, Clive Barker... but I read almost anything and everything, fiction, can't stand non-fiction for the most part.
so, any of you read?

Ah Irvine Welsh! I'm reading Porno at the moment in English (and I'm Dutch) so it's a bit hard to read the scottish parts. And I love Clive Barker as well, not the real horror stuff, the book of blood. I really liked Imagica, if that's the right titel. It's the first book of art. That's a real good one. I'm a big Michael Crichton fan myself.

Imajica was insanely good. Last week I read one of his called Arabat, which was actually in the 'Teens' section of the book store. Very good anyway. Porno was pretty good, I'd been missing Spud, Renton and Sick Boy. If you like Imajica, you should check out that Perdido Street Station, it's a lot like Imajica, where the author created an entire universe out of nothing.

yeah mixmag is full of stuff about drugs which really does annoy me sometimes. I like the section about whats going on thats better than the dj mag whats going on guide. I do think there should me more on equipement and production like dj mag. I would say the mags now more of a FHM for dance music.
