[Severed_Head_Stoner]

LOC is awesome! the history is really interesting, its about the only book ive read and enjoyed in ages. Im reading it now. well, not now, but when im done, i will probably start reading it... i'm not sure, i will make up my mind some time in the future.

[BeastOfCarrion]

go for Necroscope by Brian Lumley
(if you wanted a recomendation)
its nice, bloodthirsty, grim and hit has vampires and zombies AND comunists!

[Brutally_Hacked]

the last book I read was while I was at my dad's joint, the only half decent book there was a clockwork orange, and when I'd finished that I had nothing better to do than read some 'clan of the cavebear' shit. It was tolerable... until she fell in love :sickface:

I don't mind zombies and vampires , but communists?
It must be very scary!

[Trendkill_420]

clockwork was a cool book hacked.

I just finished "the dirty dozen". Good book
now i'm reading "all we are saying", the last interview with john lennon and yoko.

[BeastOfCarrion]

i know, i couldnt read it without being surrounded by daylight, for fear i would be consumed by pure evil

[HELLBLASTER-666]

now i'm reading "all we are saying", the last interview with john lennon and yoko.

I have the tv on and when I read this,someone
started singing "Imagine".
What a fucking coincidence!

nihilist why do you say that

[johnmansley]

nihilist why do you say that

It's pretty obvious! Mein Kampf was Hitler's vision and philosophy - something which our grandfathers fought and died for in order to prevent from becoming a reality. I've never read the book, and I never will as if I were to do so I would effectively be dancing on my grandfather's grave.

[metal=life]

Fuck no.. I hate Hitler and his views but reading it will only give you knowledge of his ingenious stupidity. (try and make sense of that)

[The Doctor]

it makes perfect sense.


now reading White Line Fever, by Lemmy Kilmister.

[Severed_Head_Stoner]

Hey Doc, is that a grammy bag your holding up in your profile pic? If it's even you

I started a thread on it, but that was a pretty stupid idea, so i deleted it

I'm not reading anything at the moment, i just really wanted to ask that :D

[The Doctor]

im a pothead :stoned:

HAHAHA

[BrokenCrimson]

My auntie just sent me a big, fat, black book! The complete works of Gogol, hoo yeah! Still smells like the bookshop half a world away. Just read one of the short stories, "Nose". I'm going to read "Viy" next, it's suposed to be really scary, and mom recomended "Horrible Revenge" because it reminds her of me. This book is going to keep me very busy.

[atifman]

pfft... atif you didnt even know what a metrosexual was until i called you one BIATCH

of course i did! i saw it on southpark! :kaioken:

[The Doctor]

also reading some calvin and hobbes now

[guitar_demon]

lucifer rising

[Trendkill_420]

That'd better not be about D12 :mad:

It's a book based around world war 2. It's a great read, i recommend it.
When i get my ass in gear, I'm gonna pick up stephan king's new book.

[timedragon]

Right now im reading Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Short stories kick ass. Its easier for me to read those, cause if a certain one sucks, you can just skip it. But if you buy a book and it turns out that it sucks, thats just a waste.

[BeastOfCarrion]

then dont buy books, be cheap and borrow them from other people/libares
that way, when you are finished you can just give it back, without loosing any time

i just baught a book today called Public Finance, it cost me a whole $90 :eek: (Australian, and yes that is a lot) god i hate textbooks :(

[timedragon]

then dont buy books, be cheap and borrow them from other people/libares
that way, when you are finished you can just give it back, without loosing any time

Yeah. Actually, thats what i do. I was just making a point on why i like short stories. I hardly buy books. They are fucking expesive arnt they!

[Severed_Head_Stoner]

im a pothead :stoned:

HAHAHA

Really? me too, nice :)

I'm reading sum SF Larry Niven book - Ringworld, its pretty good.

[johnmansley]

They are fucking expesive arnt they!

Novels aren't that expensive - especially if you buy them online. As BoC said, university textbooks are real expensive. I paid £42 (~$70US, ~$100AUS) for a Calculus textbook that I only looked in about 10 times in 3 years. Worth it though...

[timedragon]

maybe im just poor. its hard for me to buy any books

[johnmansley]

My folks buy books all the time so I just borrow anything that they're not reading. I'm too lazy to go to a library, but usually my parents will have a copy of anything I want to read.

My favorite author is king.

Awesome, yeah that's the one I wanna read, ha I'm proud to be a Canadian...even though a month ago the Prime Ministers son's freight ship was searched and there was 14(somewhere around there)kilos of coke on it...and NO ONE WAS CHARGED...

Yeah, but the coke was hidden on the side of the ship. That technique is used by traffickers without the sailors knowing it. However, Paul-Asshole-Martin is still a crook.

[lamb_of_god]

I'm trying to catch up on The Dark Tower by Stephen King. I'm on book 4 but I haven't read it for like a year. Don't know why. I think I'll go read it some more now.

Yeah and idiots actually voted for liberal after that fucking scandal :mad:

shhh, that arguement doesn't go well around here. :) (though i agree).

No offense, but if you didn't vote, you've really got no right to complain about the government. :D

Well this thread went south in a hurry.

I'm reading a lot of books.

You and me both, white man. Why do I buy another half dozen when I'm already reading half a dozen? Because you're a fucking toad, that's why.

Spot on! Yes, m=l, I have read it. It leaves out alot of significant detail, as [edit:] THE published version of the book is retardedly abridged. But I don't hate it because of that fact - John said it all for me.

[far_beyond_sane]

Read it. It's twaddle, really. Only of historical interest.

[Stuff is Great]

Just picked up a doozy: 'Strumpet City' by some depressio Mick named James Plunkett. Honestly, if this was any more miserable it'd be about Welsh people mired in their own pointlessness & wondering why they weren't as exciting as Irish factory workers circa 1907.

Read it. Powerful stuff.

Also read Naked Lunch, by William Burroughs. It's a nice, linear story & a good, easy, simply-written introduction into moral writings of the 20th century. Honest.

I just got a greek book "In Defense of
The Heathens"(well,that's my translation)
and "The Shining" by Stephen King.

I started reading the first one,which is quite good
though a bit subjective(it's about how Hellhnes
and their culture were treated by Christians in
the Byzantine ages mostly).

[Decrepify]

Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra
Undermining of christianity.

[HELLBLASTER-666]

Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra

I remember trying to read it 5 years ago but
I couldn't understand anything!
Are you getting it?

[Decrepify]

I remember trying to read it 5 years ago but
I couldn't understand anything!
Are you getting it?

Yes, reading this book is bit difficult, because it takes time to understand his views, I am now trying again to read this because before I really didn't understand it. Though, I think that he is trying to undermine through his philosophy humanity ethics, and mostly of them, christianity.

[BassBehemoth]

The Runaway Jury by John Grisham.(I bought it today at a used bookstore..it was really an impulse buy)

[Dyldo]

Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra
Undermining of christianity.

Haven't read that one, but have read plenty of exerts from it. Although some of his views are askew he's got a great view on how to cultivate problems into usefulness and a very poetic way of explaning philosophy.

[MyOwnSavior]

I'm currently reading the Dark Tower series by Steven King.

[Trendkill_420]

Excellent fucking series!

[FearFrost]

I've been reading "dark horse novels" its the comic company but the have BIG comics kind of like novels, good stuff, this morning on the plane I read "predator: race wars", and as we speak im reading "aliens: labyrinth"... They are good reads.

I bought The Runaway Jury a few weeks ago...and now I've only started to read it. It's a really fucking good book so far..I must read more of John Grisham! This is the first book of his I've read, is there anyone else that has read his stuff?

[BassBehemoth]

Is it written by Amon Amarth? :p

Nice, I haven't read that, but I am doing a research project about John Steinbeck for my English report.

-Calvin and Hobbes

[guitar_demon]

haha calvin and hobbes, i used to have a calvin and hobbes avatar here till i got my cat one

of mice and men was alright, nothing really special though

[johnmansley]

Of Mice And Men is a great read, the re-make of the film (with Gary Sinise as George and John Malkovitch as Lenny) brought me to tears at the end. The story is tremendously well-crafted by Steinbeck and there are quite a few poignant motifs that reappear throughout the book. One of the best books I've read.

[Undying_Hatred]

I'm not really a fan of Steinbeck, most likely because I was forced upon his work for school projects. Im reading Lords of Chaos right now for my individualized writing class.

[L,B'XXX]

I'd be willing to bet your dad is my age and that was on my high school reading list back in the 70's.

I just finished "Big Trouble" by Dave Berry. It was hilarious. It had Russian bad guys, a guy who lived in a tree, a python that got lose in the airport, A nuclear explosive that looked like a garbage disposal and a game called "killer" that the high school kids played. Plus a toad that caused hallucinations and crazy cops.

I'm beginning "The Present" by Johanna Lindsay which is a historical romance I read at Christmastime.

[guitar_demon]

i read the play "the night thurough spent in jail" uh it was interesting...

jesus, there's some stupid people in this book. like a cadet/trainee police officer in ukraine was telling off a sergeant for walking a dog without a muzzle or leash, so the sergeant flames him back and they both get angry. so eventually, the sergeant pulls out a grenade and throws it at the cadet, but the sergeant's dog runs after it and retrieves it. the cadet runs in the other direction but the sergeants dog bolts after the sergeant and both get blown to smithereens.

:rofl: i love this book.

[Infinity]

I just read The Long Walk again. Awesome book.

[i_hate_nu_metal]

bored of the rings.

[Dissection]

I've been meaning to pick up Lords of Chaos. That and the Satanic Bible, just to say I've read it.

[SmotPoker]

Power of The Mind. its a book about how to organize your thoughts and think more clearly and quicker. Alot of it bores me pretty bad, but its still a good read for the most part.

[Azewaldo]

Long Way Round, by Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman.

These two british actors take a motorcycle trip from London to New York... going east! Good read for motorcycle & travel enthusiasts alike.

You say some stupid things..

[blizzard_beast]

Right now I'm just studying a c.15 Italian fighting manuscrupt, called "Fiore di Battaglia" (it's a translated version).

The long way round, I've seen some clips from the DVD, it looks pretty cool. I think visually it's a lot more entertaining don't you think?

Verging slightly off topic, I hate motorcycle law in England, If I get a license at 18, I'm limited to 250cc, so I have to get a shitty bike, then the one I really want at 21! :mad:

i feel your pain man, same here with cars. once you get your license and you go on the 3-year probation, you're not allowed to have a V8 engine or over a certain amount of Kw. it will be when i turn 21 that i'll finally get my HSV grange......:cool:

[blizzard_beast]

Fingers crossed that the law will change by the time I'm 17! HSV Grange - that sedan monstrosity? Classic American cars are big in Australia, aren't they? get yourself a Camaro.

[Pandemonium]

Shit, I'm reading a lot of stuff. For pleasure, I'm reading Otherland Volume 2 by Tad Williams, a sci-fi/cyberpunk saga. Then, as usual, I'm reading a couple different metaphysical books. And then there's shit for school. I'm reading stuff from my Literature book, Human Ecology, Child Psychology, Sophie's World-a novel for Philosophy class-, and my German text. I'm learning German, which is already fucking awesome.

[SARS]

at the moment, EICHMAN. A biography of Adolf Eichman (the guy who organised the transportation of Jewish people in WW2).


Conclusion for about half way through the book, he was a boring fuck.

haha fingers crossed indeed!!!! HSV's are the best, no questions asked :angry: hehehehe.

nah, chevvy's aren't really my thing unless i found an ultra cheap 60's/70's thing. and classic american cars are going out, the young crowd these days opt for cars your grandmother drives (honda accords, mitsu mirages) and fUlL3 s0Up d3m uP h3Kt1kly 4 s3rI0uS.

anyway back on topic, reading the road laws, about time i got my learners.

[blizzard_beast]

Classic American cars are always in Andrew!
I really hate those Japanese cars, mostly because a lot of them don't actually have any performance upgrades, it's just a look. Then they've got those bumble-bee exhausts that make out like they've got 300+ HP under the bonnet.

[Pandemonium]

Cars are the devil, filthy, filthy, objects.

[blizzard_beast]

Err, no. I prefer motorcycles anyway.

Haha, not electrics, my friend. I swear to God, when I'm 25 I'm buying a hybrid. When hybrids are in popular use, maybe 25-50 years from now, full electrics will start catching on, too. It's going to take a while, and we can't do much now other than try to wean society onto hybrids, which in turn will prepare us for electrics, methinks. Go hybrid, my friend. Besides, other forms of transportation pollute indiscriminately as well. Some people believe in taking the train to get extra cars off the road. The problem is many (if not most) commuter trains are diesel, thereby replacing the exhaust of all cars taken off the road via the passengers. Buses might be a better alternative, although they still pollute, the number of cars they temporarily displace on the road might be worth it.

It doesn't really matter in the long run, anyway. While people are definitely working on replacing cars with environmentally friendly cars, sadly, there isn't anything being done to quell the pollution let out by factories, mills, and the like. There are also people who seem to enjoy dumping their trash in the woods. Sometimes I go and I find stuff that looks like half of somebody's house, really, like tables, mattresses, books, pictures, chairs, tools, even video games. Why put this stuff in our woods, swamps, and fields? It can just as easily be put on the curb or driven to the dump.

Then there are the perverts and drug addicts who go in the woods to do their nasty little deeds, leaving behind a plethora of homemade crackpipes (including much plastic that doesn't biodegrade well), syringes (again, plastic), condoms (rubber is bad as well), and pornographic magazines (that, fortunately, are either taken home by unrelated perverts or simply biodegrade in a few years).

I could rant forever, but I won't.

I would go hybrid if I had crazy money to spend. I am a poor college stupid; I have a hard time keeping the crappy cars I can afford. Pollution in general really gets me flaring with anger. Modern society has given me no choice but to own a car to get to my job and school which are beyond the distance of walking or cycling. Well, my job is only five miles away, but who wants to come home after dusk where we live unprotected?

That's terrible about what you find in the woods. Do you ever find books or video games that are worth keeping?

But hybrids dont go 21432432423 MPH and their not fucking super dick growing cool!! :rolleyes:

I dont get the point of fast cars.. there's speed limits, obey them.

[blizzard_beast]

Fast cars are only useful if you actually go to trackdays and the like, or if you go on the autobahn or something. Mostly people just go for the appearance, and for them to look so "ztyleesh" people want the performance to justify that.

[Chris Rezendes]

...That's terrible about what you find in the woods. Do you ever find books or video games that are worth keeping?

Books? Yes. Video games? No. They are usually broken. Sometimes tools, too. If I'm in the woods, and I find something useful, I always take it, even if I just throw it in the trash when I go home after realizing I don't need it and it will just clutter my room.

Haha, you'd get killed around here. Down in SE Massachusetts and Rhode Island, people completely ignore not only the speed limit, but also disregard just about every other traffic law as well. It wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to say that every day when I turn on the news, a new person has died in a car accident around here, which is pretty bad considering what a small area this encompasses.

People legitimately don't worry about killing themselves on the road because they don't realize 100% how dangerous it is. Sure, they know it happens to other people. Sure, they've seen it on the news. Really, though, it doesn't matter because they don't think for a second it could or would happen to them... and these people usually tend to be the worst drivers, and thusly, the ones at highest risk of killing themselves (good riddance), their innocent passengers, and any innocent people who happen to get in their way.

The likelihood of a young person being killed in a car accident within the region I live is rather unnerving.

Its the same here, But I go the speed limit... I do it cause I have no need to speed, and I enjoy pissing people off.. nothing quite like going 45 MPH when everyone else wants to go 60 MPH. It makes me feel all warm inside looking in the rear view window and seeing the fools try to pass me. I just wonder how many tickets I've saved these people.

[Bia]

LMAO....I do too....I enjoy watching people BEAT on their steering wheels and then flip me off when they finally do manage to pass me.....it's a HOOT I tell ya.

They should leave 15 minutes earlier.
