what are you reading today?

[airportlobbytx]

Final on Monday....3 more chapters!

Don't bother reading that - I can summarize it in two sentences. All men want to do is have sex, perhaps because they are attempting to reinsert themselves into their mother's vaginas. Women? Who knows what they want, besides a gaggle of babies and some lip gloss.

There, saved you a few hours. Now go read something good, like some Proust.

Haha Penis/Womb envyyy

That was our last section. Now I'm reading about obedience...in other words, how easy it could be to take over the world, or atleast take over the part with stupid fucks in it who can't think critically!

Alright my study break on SuFu is over.

last week i read haruki murakami's hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world

i'm a fan of his and i really liked this

it was imaginative and fantastic without being unbelieveable or distant

I just finished his Wind-up Bird Chronicle and am now reading Kafka On The Shore. He is an amazing writer.

Wind-up Bird Chronicle

We might have to start a Murakami thread - it seems that there are quite a number of people who are reading him around here.

[buffalocloud7]

thus spoke zarathustra

nietzsche

i had trouble getting through that one. only read like 10 pages at a time...and i liked it too.

[tweeds]

nietzsche is very compelling...yet i couldn't get through beyond good and evil

i read zarathustra aloud, and slowly

two or three sections a day is as much as i can do

[doctorgnar]

Indecision, Benjamin Kunkle

Dude who founded n+1, which I think is a bunch of bullshit, but this book is really amazing. Funny, insightful. Very good use of language.

"The regular alliance of happiness with idiocy has always been for me as a happy person one of the world's more painful features." pg 37

glad i'm not alone in that. i have beyond good and evil but have not gotten the courage to pick it up yet.

[jsmilez]

Just got some Vonnegut.

Cat's Cradle

Sirens of Titan

Slaughterhouse Five

Breakfast of Champions

[bee hee]

I'm re-reading Kafka on the Shore to keep me in Murakami mode for when After Dark comes to the library I work at.

[lucky_cloud]

just picked up voltaire's candide with the chris ware cover:

it's really funny! I've never read an 18th-century book with such dry, biting, dirty humour.

[chromesquared]

Just finished this:

Starting this:

[Comma H]

American Gods- Neil Gaiman

The Chrysalids- John Wyndham

[MiniW]

The Richest Man in Babylon. sound financial advice from the past. took only a few days to finish.

[ryanchang]

I'm not reading it right now, but hands down the best book I've ever read is American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. He's pretty graphic in his descriptions, so it's not for everyone.

Another great book is Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.

Too bad the movies they made of these books sucked.

i back this. bret easton ellis and jay micinerney are probably my favorite writers right now.

anyway, am reading The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis, will re-read American Psycho soon, and i just finished A Tale of Two Cities for the second time.

[jeepster]

just finished The Beatles by Bob Spitz, moving onto Britpop - Cool Britannia and the Spectacular Demise of English Rock by John Harris. i have Kurt Vonnegaut's A Man Without a Country lined up, because the Britpop book is a bit too preachy and kinda boring, but ill see how it turns out.

[buffalocloud7]

just started the Satanic Verses by Rushdie. i've read fury and midnights children already but somehow never picked this one up...

[Analyst]

Just started the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Currently on Book II.....5 more to go....
