I'll have to pick this up.  "Edie" is one of my favorite books, an oral history of socialite and Warhol groupie Edie Sedgwick by George Plimpton.  Just amazing.  And yeah, I was surprised at how well the format worked.

Ulysses is amazing.  Do you know anyone else reading it?  It's hugely helpful to talk about while getting through it.

 A hilarious story told solely through the interoffice email messages of an ad agency in London. The assorted cast of characters is immediately recognizable. I highly recommend it.

A fine book, if a bit dense.  In college an English professor pointed out that this book, along with From Ritual to Romance, are on Kurtz's bookshelf in Apocalypse Now, so I made it a point to read both.  Fascinating things therein.

Walden's the next book I'm about to start, except I think I might have lost it (grrr)  I just read Cyrano de Bergerac this morning (started & finished).

I've heard interviews with this guy. Quite interesting.

I saw it in the Virgin Music Store two days ago.  It's unbelievable.  It's also unbelieveably expensive (like $70).
 
 Oh, and I'm currently reading:

Yeah, I saw it on the Barnes and Noble site, it's one of their top 10 books on music, but the only one that really caught my attention.  It's "on sale" for $52.
