head south Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 What books are you reading right now, and what are they about? Currently I am reading a book called Playing Off the Rail about a rich author who takes a professional pool player across the country to gamble. It is pretty interesting actually. I just got finished with Unbearable Lightness Of Being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

head south Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 Originally posted by E MARTYR so who were you before you got banned? :lol: I didnt get banned. Can you grow up a little and quit being such an idiot. It seems that you are stuck in a pattern where you act like an idiot then hope one person laughs and you get a reaction, then nobody laughs, then you talk shit and say how you where "joking", then one person shuts you up by making you look like an asshole (which you are) infront of everyone on 12oz, then you announce you are on hiatus (for whatever reason), then you are back to repeat the process over and over again. Just give it a rest, friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIPHER_one Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, author of The DaVinci Code Its really good....but, its a little too familiar.

MrChupacabra Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 in the past two weeks i read: The Tesseract by Alex Garland - don't really want to explain, but just read it Domain by Steven Alten - book about the end of the world and this one guy who knows about it and is trying to prevent it but is in an insane asylum I Am Legend by Richard Matheson - a book about the only man left in a world full of vampires, and how he tries to survive The Jungle by Upton Sinclair - book about socialism and the meat industry in chicago definitely recomend all of them. The Tesseract kills, Domain and I Am Legend are both very good, and The Jungle was a good read, but a little boring at a handfull of parts About to start The Human Stain by Tim Roth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villain Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I just read "Terrorism Theirs & Ours" today by Eqbal Ahmad. --- Very, very informative... I'm in the middle of "The Symboitic Man" by Joel de Rosnay --- Much systems theory, visions of utopia... interesting, but how practical? I'm also in the middle of "Tricks of the 3d Game Programming Gurus" by Andre LaMothe --- Nice, very nice. Also chipping away at "Anacalypsis: An attempt to draw aside the veil of the Saitic Isis or an inquiry into the origins of Languages, Nations and Religions" by Godfrey Higgins Esq. --- Easily the most profound book I've ever laid my hands on.
