  2. I'm a strickly stereo guy, I'm no audiophile but I like standard quality. I'm buying Audioengine A5 in a couple of months, I really don't care for surround sound.

  3. I recently finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy, as it seemed one of those books 'you should have read'. First of his I've tried, and I thought it was very good. Any other works of his in particular anyone can recommend? Now reading Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, which I read about a decade ago in school. It's even better than I remember... a true classic.

     

    Blood Meridian. It's a transcendental western of apocalyptic nature.

  4. hey guys do you know any good book about Classical Music (history)?

     

    The lives of great composers by Schonberg

    Norton Anthology of Western Music by Burkholder

    The Rest is Noise by Alex Ross

    thanks! have you read any of them?

     

    Yeah man, The Rest is Noise is a masterpiece, but it's essays about the 20th century classical music. You'll end up understanding that everybody has copied everybody ha, and how important the transition from romantic to modernism was. Schonberg is an awesome introduction to every composers imaginable, but it's very opinionated and he hates Mahler lol. The other is a textbook, it's massive in two volumes with almost 1000 pages.

    The year is 2312. Scientific and technological advances have opened gateways to an extraordinary future. Earth is no longer humanity's only home; new habitats have been created throughout the solar system on moons, planets, and in between.
