kaen Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 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. im stoked about this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest atropa Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 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. there was that bit where they're all sitting at a table at the author's house and him and his assistant get in an argument. haha, i enjoyed that bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 do yourself a favor and burn it instead lol, why's that? I've heard negative and positive things about it. I had already planned to read it over break, then had it recommended to me by a super conservative libertarian ex-professor of mine during a debate over national health-care. It seems a lot of people either love it or hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 i hate it. i also hate girls who love it. it's a dealbreaker for me, if a girl has any ayn rand on her bookshelf and takes it seriously, i'm done. i'm sure your girlfriend is lovely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest leprechaun Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Roughing It - Mark Twain. My mom was cleaning off some of her bookshelves not too long ago; I found a Mark Twain collection (circa 1915) in pretty good condition that belonged to my grandmother in the trash pile. To think she was going to throw them out! I rescued them and am slowly reading each book in the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest margaret thatcher Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 just finished: mark e smith - renegade. rambling arsehole but quite funny, he comes across a lot more intelligibly on paper than on record. armando iannucci - the audacity of hype. not as funny as i had hoped. runs out of ideas at about the halfway stage. f scott fitzgerald - the great gatsby. finally got round to reading it, yeah it's a classic, some great one liners in there...."i've been drunk for about a week now, and i thought it might sober me up to sit in a library". tony wilson - 24 hour party people. he comes across as a bit of an arsehole too, but frankly i didn't really care. quite interesting reading, but i think i knew most of the stuff in there, and he tells the reader to "read more books" when he's rambling on about situationism, but still quite a good read. and i'm currently reading clement freud's most recent posthumous book, "a feast of freud", which is hilarious so far. intelligent grumpy bastard.

Guest Ron Manager Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Naked Lunch by burroughs I read this recently. Mixed thoughts. It was interesting at times but then at other points I just thought it was inane drivel. The Man In The High Castle by Phillip K.
