fermentor666 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I just ordered: Masters of Doom, David Kushner - Story about the rise and almost fall of iD Software. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction The Yage Letters, William Burroughs I am currently reading/just read: R. Crumb: Conversations - Selected interviews and articles on Robert Crumb, from the start of his career until 2003. Very good reading. A Hacker Manifesto - Book about the "hacker way of living", so far so good. Metropol - Comic book series by Ted McKeever. Exceptional art and story about a plague hitting a city that kills it's residents and turns them into demons from hell. Five people come back as angels in order to save humanity. One of them used to be a graffiti writer. Written in the late 80's, I believe, available in trade paperback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I think this is "What Book Are You Reading Pt. 16". Thanks for continuing the legacy, why write. I will post up tomorrow, as I am long overdue for a trip to the library, so that will be done tomorrow or the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effyoo Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 and I picked up shogun because you did. haha fuck, I meant James Clavell. Clive Cussler writes shitty spy novels. theres no way i should confuse those two names...Woops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duh-rye-won Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 shogun is illlllllllll.... so many characters, it can get mad confusing. i've read it twice and i still got confused 2nd time around. sometimes you need to just kind of read and be a little confused and not care. but anyway, probably is my favorite book of all time. Toronaga-san is the motherfucking ultimate bad ass ninja of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
