best title ever for a book: "raw shark texts"

just read "raw shark texts" by steven hall. a wild and crazy book. i can't even explain it, but to whet your appetite, here is a shot at it: a man wakes up having no memory. his former self leaves letters and information for him to follow because he has to be careful; he is being targeted by a conceptual shark who feeds on memory and thought. so if he doesn't want to get completely consumed and lost forever, he must evade the shark. a complication is that a girlfriend, who he doesn't remember, died when he was with her in greece. he wants to remember her and he wants to escape the shark. so he goes on a quest.

a reviewer said "matrix, jaws and da vinci code all in one book." i'm not sure i like that description because i think it's smarter than those movies/books (except maybe the matrix). but anyway, IF you like really weird books, read this one. if you don't like really weird books, absolutely don't read it!

on itunes right now: "starlight" by muse. i'm taking a radiohead break. for about an hour.
