I need a case of those wolf shirts for xmas.

An American Demon - Jack Grisham

I'm only a little ways into this and I'm not sure what to think. Is it an autobiography or some twisted fiction?

Dude was/is the singer for TSOL, one of my all time favorite bands and he's a well known psycho. Jack Grisham stories have always been a blast and my hopes were high for this to be a crazy ass memoir, but instead...Dude tells his story as if he is a demon on earth. No, seriously, he wants the reader to buy into his being a demon. Not just a psycho, but a fucking demon. More than a little silly, and it's starting to piss me off because I'm ready for some tales of TSOL/punk rock gang insanity and I'm just getting this crap about how he's a child demon without a conscience. I'm moving through it painfully slowly because I've had hella little reading time and it's nowhere as compelling as I was certain it would be, being the memoir of Jack Fucking Grisham and all. I keep hoping that it will turn a corner. If/when it does, I just hope it doesn't end like every rock star bio does nowadays with the dude, clean, sober and loving his boring ass life.

I heard about that, chief. Sucks.

Same here. Sorry about that. I'm also sorry that I have contributed hugely to your demise, being that I purchase everything I own off Amazon. EVERYTHING, MY GOD THEY HAVE EVERYTHING. AND SUPERSAVER SHIPPING.

Sorry, Moloc.

Big bummer, man. I love Borders, though, I too, purchase way more from Amazon. Still, over the years I've given thousands to Borders for sure.

I hate that Barnes and Noble is the last man standing. That place sucks balls compared to Borders.

I still give anything for a return of Oxford. That place was the shit. Or Tower, they had the best rock n' roll book section ever.

book store off north highland is closing as well, they are a dying breed which is a shame i can't get down with the nook or the kindle

badcarburetor · Post by **badcarburetor** » Sat July 16th, 2011, 12:11 pm

Very little that I actually want to read is available on Nook and Kindle. It's certainly got its uses if you are all about the NYT Top Ten kind of titles. I guess it's all about Acapella now, huh?

Odinson666 · Post by **Odinson666** » Sat July 16th, 2011, 12:21 pm

the book nook and crystal blue are big ones for me as well
, of the three books i am reading now , two were from borders and one is from the library , but the library is limited on horror and the more occult oriented non -fiction , they do pretty well with sci fi and fantasy
the changing retail landscape is starting to effect the flow of new books coming out i notice the same old shit the past few months, i guess i am going to start going to those book fairs in decatur and toco hills,
similar to music where i am having to go bak a re-read things i haven't picked up since high school,

Damn. That's fucking crazy. Used to shop at the one off Ponce but I usually buy books second-hand from real live bookstores (Book Nook, A Capella, Booksomething [North High?])

Badcarb owns the gold for bringing up all the great shit that used to be in this city and Oxford Books and Oxford Too were great shit.

Gods, I miss Oxfords and Oxford Too. And the SF & Mystery Bookshop.
