Guest 277: 930-933 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just finished Sagan's 'Demon Haunted World' which was mostly delightful, reading 'Manufacturing Consent' by Herman and Chomsky, 'Gravity's Rainbow' by Pynchon, first fiction after falling into a bit of a black hole when 'Infinite Jest' was finished, read 'A supposedly fun thing...' right after but don't want to go through DFW's work too quickly. Bedside reading is 'The Oxford book of modern science writing' compiled by Richard Dawkins, he also writes a short introduction to each extract.

Guest Gary C Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Divided Soul by David Ritz A biography on Marvin Gaye. David Ritz most famously penned the lyrics for 'Sexual Healing'. It's really good. I've had it knocking about for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Dylan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 shit I was scrolling and saw DFW, thought they released THE PALE KING. I mean why can't they release it finally? Don't Nabakov-it on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm not sure if I'd want to read the Pale King, it's new DFW but it's also unfinished DFW... It might be torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) revisiting Desmond Morris' wonderful "The Soccer Tribe" as well Frederick Foer's moderately interesting "How Soccer Explains the World". On top of that, a stack of books on violence against women. Really light-hearted stuff morris was briefly my shrink as a kid (no, rly). he's fucking awesome - told my folks to buy me a computer and a bunch of fighting fantasy gamebooks. and midnight's children is awesome. a nose and some knees. knees and a nose. immensely enjoyed this.
