Violent Gangbanger Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just arrived in the mail, the most beautifully printed book I own now (the edges of the pages are gold, tite). As much as I loved Nov York (I don't remember Novurkistan too well), this book was very subpar, too all over the place. Now working on this.

HUSK Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 yeah i've always contemplated buying Hitman every time i'm in Stop & Shop. Thinking I'm going to stop in buy some food and pick that up tomorrow.It's funny around my area (Mass) thats all they have at Stop and Shop book section is books about White Bulger, and his crew, such as John "shae" Red " the one who didn't rat", and all other books about Whitey and his FBI friend, as well as Hitman.

TheGreatGatsby Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I read "All Souls" a few years ago and it totally burnt me on books about Whitey/Southie/whatever. The image that's portrayed is nothing that you actually see. Anyone who is proud of being third generation Old Colony is a fucking dirt bag and all of the yuppies that pay absurd amounts of money to live among the dirt bags are even worse. Just to make my useless ranting somewhat on topic, has anyone read "Infinite Jest?" Worth the time investment or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grd Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Literally just got through with this and frankly I'm sad it's over. It's all kindsa aces, it's filthy, brilliantly written and draws you in entirely. 800 odd pages but it's a quick read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 like all really successful people Irvine welsh is doing a prequel. it's shaping up well - I'm rationing it to only 25 pages a sitting because I could sit and read it cover to cover. - big fan of some of Irvine welsh. Other books of his (Filth) I can't get into. review here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/9200314/Skagboys-by-Irvine-Welsh-review.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup forgot his password Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just finished reading this twice, Amusing Ourselves to Death, by Neil Postman. If you're looking for a book that argues against everything you do, this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize this one came out yet. Must go get. I just finished game of thrones, and I read Looking for Alaska, recommended by a friend. Meh, kinda teen young adultish for me. I also read the chuck palaniuk books recently, all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
