Guest Yegg Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 One pair between the two of us? Yes, it would probably help alleviate the sexual tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CondenseWindow Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Have you seen the sort of people who actually read that book? "Art" students, college dykes, and losers in their sister's jeans. And if you could explain how it's not pervy, pretentious trash that would help too. Thanks. If I wanted to read that sort of thing I'd go for American Psycho, which at least had a modicum of social commentary and humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I am ecstatic not to have to read anything for a little while. One pretty interesting book that I just finished reading for some research was "The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea." by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge. It's not about the CIA by the way. Also just finished reading a book called "With Their Backs to the World" by Asne Seierstad. An interesting look at Serbians in the middle of the Balkan conflict of the 90s PLanned reading for Xmas break: 2 books on the history of Korea, re-reading "Guns, Germs and Steel" and something else for fun. Oh yeah, and Susan Sontag is a despicable cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idrn Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 last xmas kaen recommended 'only forward' by michael marshall smith as his favourite book of all time so i got it for my brother - he lent it to me today and said it's one of his favourtie books of all time. really enjoying it so far. also reading 'finland, cultural lone wolf' so i can be boorish and nationalistic when drinking.

Guest zaphod Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 i'm reading mao II by don delillo. well written at times but the dialogue is really weird. i'm not liking his style very much although he seems to be a sort of thematic cousin of william gibson.
