Books that shouldn't be out of print

What abt ppl that read comic books or tabloid newspapers or thrashy paperbacks? I think most of us read something. Its just the way that some ppl here seem to be narrowing the range of things a person can read (I hope Laura was kidding abt 'scholock paperbacks').

I'd be more likely to date someone who read nothing-but-horror-novels than someone who read nothing-but-the-classics, so if anything, my biases would skew more towards trashy on that scale :) I could never date anyone I didn't have sufficient taste in common with, but it's the "in common" part that's important, not making sure they only like what I think they should. That's true for whatever media you'd want to mention, but it's especially true for books: I write. If I can't hand someone a story and say, "I think I like what I'm doing here, but I'm worried I'm ripping off Philip K Dick," and have them know who I mean and why, the relationship would never go anywhere.

Dave Rimmer, Like Punk Never Happened: Culture Club and the New Pop (classic of Britpop sociology/theory, best record ever of early '80s pop)
Tom Wolfe et al, The New Journalism (classic collection of pieces by Didion, Thompson, Christgau etc.)
Scott Woods and Phil Dellio, I Wanna Be Sedated: Pop Music in the '70s (hilarious, tone-perfect look back at the then-most reviled musical decade, from 1994)

Hey M, I finally found my copy...

I second this one.
