I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the following:

White Noise by Don DeLillo - I have to read this for a class next semester and I've always wanted to read it so I guess I will finally.

Last, I read Ham on Rye a month ago and instantly liked Bukowski. What should I read next by him?

-I'm guessing you haven't read anything by DeLillo(?) If so, White Noise is a great introduction to his stuff. I was introduced to him by my favorite professor a couple years ago and can't put his books down. Hilariously funny and a perfectly valid critique of American culture.

-I just read my first Bukowski, Women, and loved it. OBviously can't compare it to others, but I'd recommend it.

I haven't been able to finish any of the 'great' Russian novels so far... let's see if this one is any different.

love the contact sheet

edit: shit host

i actually didnt even get through the prolouge to underworld. i wasnt catching the significance of the cultural references.

are you talking about Martin Amis?

if so, what are his good books?

looking for 32's.

i think cosmopolis or great jones street are my favorite delillo. falling man was pretty good, so i wanna read the new one, but its so short i think if i like it itll just be a tease.

having said that, amis, delillo and ellis all put out books in 2010. if wallaces post mortem novel comes out before new years, this will be my favorite year for novels maybe ever.

I have Falling Man sitting here on my desk for my next read... Like you said, it received positive reviews, but I doubt it'll live up to Cosmopolis or Underworld (for me)...

Amis? Ellis is the American Psycho dude?

And I'm guessing Wallace is DF Wallace? Got through 150 pages of IJ and had to shut it down

should i read the sound and the fury or absalom absalom?

only faulkner i read is as i lay dying.

neither.

murakami's After Dark is probably his worst book (at least that translation)

hows point omega? i love delillo and would have bought it if it were longer. i cant justify spending $30 on a hardcover that thin. maybe ill just read it in the store.

it's pretty standard delillo... last thing I read from him was Cosmopolis, which I thought was better than this. I went to the library and read the entire thing there.

finished Nausea (sartre) and Invisible Cities (calvino), moving on to After Dark (murakami).

trying to read a book a week this summer. maybe I can burn myself out before grad school starts

What. I hope you don't actually avoid all soy products because you're afraid of your estrogen levels.

Soy appreciation.

Primarily, soy affects the quality and concentration of a male’s sperm, especially if taken in large quantities or if the subject was exposed to high levels in the womb. A recent study at Harvard University showed that there was a definite correlation between men with low sperm counts and a high intake of soy foods. The study revealed that the average sperm concentration of 80 to 120 million per millimeter of an adult male was more than halved when soy formed part of the diet. The case is more compelling in the study of obese males whose sperm levels are even lower owing to the estrogen making properties of fat tissue.

I'll stick with non-soy vegetables, whole grains, and fruits, while you appreciate your lowered libido, growing breasts, and ill-performing sperm.

Milo has a fanclub on FB!

I had a cat named Milo that was quite popular too... Lived to be ~20 years old.

Brady:

(3D... he's very patient when the film cameras come out)

I don't eat those shitty fake-meat products because of all the soy shit that is in them. If you're a dude eating soy, you might want to reconsider your choices (before you grow breasts and your balls shrivel up into raisins and you start humping dudes).

PS. spinach portabella mozzarella lasagna for dinner tonight

last night tried a bomber of Bear Republic's Red Rocket ale for the first time... nicely complex.

My mother bought a 12-sampler of Great Lakes for my little birthday get together today (I've had them all but they are still fantastic).

Fitzgerald is by far the best

check this shit out

since yesterday was the day it was, my stoner neighbor comes out to our roof-top deck and asks if I want to smoke. now just before this, I took my morning pills: multi-vitamin, flaxseed oil, 5-HTP, and l-arginine. I forgot that I'd taken these, so I go and rip three successive bong hits of some good weed.

Now why would I mention the 5-HTP and L-arginine? Well, I've found that both supplements propagate the effects of both marijuana (while mixing 5-HTP and alcohol could be deadly). So 5 minutes later I'm sitting on the roof seeing imagined rainbows flashing in the sky, hearing words come out of my mouth that I did or didn't say, thinking that my neighbor got me high so he could kill me. Turns out he smoked me up so I could give him a ride to work. "I can't drive, man..."

5 hours later I'm still high and he asks me for a ride. I said, "sure" $30 for a half hour ride! Drop him off after some run-around, and make it 3/4 of the way home... Flashing red and blue lights! :eek:

My license plate fell off the back of my car like 3 months ago, haven't had any problems cause I don't drive that much. Cop was super cool, even though I was slightly stoned and only had my motorcycle permit on me. Gave me a warning and I nearly shit myself as I drove off.

Got home and made a grille portobello sangwich, smoked another bowl with my neighbors, and drank an Anchor Steam beer.

good times.

looks yummy
