Guest im not witty Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 i was talking about lullaby. havent heard of diary. as far as "fucked up books" go..... sarah by jt leroy is crazy. rules of attraction by ellis is good and weird invisible monsters and survivor by palahniuk are good and fucked up as well.

GucciCondom Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Alright witty good lookin' out. I'll be sure to check some of them out. Is the Rules of Attraction movie based on the book mentioned? *edit for rewording because it sounded wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BROWNer Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 my reading habits are consistent, but irregular. i'm like mamerro right now, as far as actual 'books' are concerned..i still get a fat ass chunk of 'non book' reading in otherwise. before school i was reading a huge chunk of my day and night. books usually take me some time depending on which book and the subject, but primarily becuz i'm just too interested in a fat ass bunch of other things to be able to focus on one thing at a time. by the time i've gotten into a book, there's something else i'm just dying to get some info on, so its a bit messy...i need mass variety. but yes..reading fucking rocks.

ROLL MODELS are in poop man bob's TP thread that you loved so much. ;) don't mess with the cutters.haha i stayed away from lance's book for quite some time because i lean towards snobbiness and his book LOOKs like some oprah self-help shit. but it's not. i got it for a christmas present two years ago and just crushed it in a day. real dope. i used to read a ton, but now i met this girl.... where does the time go? i ain't complainin' (i'm in the rain doin a buck forty hydroplanin') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 i can't read that long... i get bored/tired. 2 hours is my limit. i read about 2-3 books a week. just finished up: two gentlemen from verona.. bout to finish the myth of sisyphus in about an hour and play winning chess. bout to start up the wall the ethics richard II and either winning chess or chess tactics, haven't decided. oh, and i always have a couple comic books here and there. unlike browner, i dont really like reading anything short, just doent feel i get any depth... over the summer i was reading some rediculous stuff... i fead a 50 page essay on feminist textbooks for no reason. (i almost posted it too, but, knowing this board, anything that long aint getting read). molemen-death wish banger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoner Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 i just finished reading: "Saying yes, in defence of drug use" it was ok, not real good but not real boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracked Ass Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hey Vanity, go with the chess tactics book. If you want to seriously improve you have to break your head solving a lot of diagram positions, "white to move and win" type shit. I haven't bought any new books in a while, so I'm reading the old ones again - Imajica, Omerta, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 cracked, they're both tactics books... one is just about 40 years older... chernev is better known for his annotated games (and well, being a master, of course)... i've actually heard from some actual chess instructors (none of which i can afford) that all books are pretty much useless except for annotated games. however, having studied tactics in the past (bobby fischer teaches chess... great book for the money), i found sever improvement in my game. i just got bain's book in the mail today.. i kinda got ripped off, a few of the problems are already filled out, but ah well... not enough to warrent a return... cheers.
