chorus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I think it's fucking great that there is actual book beef going on in here. I wouldn't call 1984 a tin foil book to be honest. I think the point of it simply was to take the way the world is run to the extreme and by doing that raise a lot of questions and issues. The questions it raises about the purpose of war for example or about the increasing role of surveilance in our lives (as well as a lot of other stuff) are things that pretty much everyone should at least be aware of even if you choose not to worry about it too much and just get on with your life. No ones talking some huge illuminati , fake moon landing bullshit by doing that, least of all Orwell. But to continue to Book Beef, WHO EVER CALLED CAMUS AN EXISTENTIALIST IS AN IDIOT! Haha come at me br0. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Also who ever is reading crime and punishment, I read it because an estonian who couldnt speak much english (but obviously spoke russian) was trying to describe why he liked Dosteyovski. His exact words were "Dosteyovski...I like ... he is a .. truely ....GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!" and he made a tiger claw action with his hand. It actually took me a year to read and I got fed up with all the russian names etc and read two or three other books in between. But when I finished it I was very happy I read it. The guys a fucking masterful writer. I started the idiot and didnt like it anywhere near as much as Crime and Punishment. Shit's awesome, enjoy.

grd Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I read '100 years' ages ago, liked it and then pretty much forgot about Marquez; but last year I copped 10 of his books for a tenner. They're all good. I don't read too much modern stuff really but there's not a book of his I haven't taken something from.

Albert Camus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 vaguely related to this thread. I went to the kafka museum in prague yesterday. I really liked Metamorphosis when I read it, but hadn't read anything else. It's a pretty cool museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 if anyones into books like that, i thought that book was good. probably because unlike in No Angel, that dude was actually a full patched member for 1-2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 thats cool. i went through a phase where i was collecting first editions (or as early as i could find) and so my office smells like that. that hobby got too expensive though so i gave it up and just watch for them at estate sales.
