sexcauldron Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Started House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski yesterday. Pretty interested so far, but not into the weird formatting/lettering I'm seeing when flipping through the book, we'll see. Other than that I've recently been recommended The Terror by Dan Simmons and Hell House by Richard Matheson, anyone ever read either of those?

Bertha Christ Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 21 Jump: Book Appreciation Hey you heathens, I searched and didn't find an updated book thread for like 2 years, what the hell, don't any of you read anymore? Smash or trash this thread I know there are some of you that appreciate the smell of mildew between pages and the crack of the spine when you get halfway through a good book. Here goes the cherry pop of the first post; Holy shit I finished this in a day. Man, this shit was hella twisted. Still shudder when I think of parts. Meh, some chapters were better than others but a good read. Will mail to anyone who's interested. Message me. fuck cufk cufk cufgkjaksdngakjfb aerib Why does everything this man puts down on paper read FUCKING GOLD?!?!?!?!?!?! Man, even his twitter feed is hilarious and thought provoking. Damn, this book was another I couldn't put down. Now for the celebratory 12oz shop post... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranx0 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Re: 21 Jump: Book Appreciation Finished this one. I like non-fiction. I've Been Working on the Railroad: Memoirs of a Railwayman 1911-1962 is a fascinating recollection of fifty years working for the Newfoundland Railway, telling of wrecks and Reids, snow and steam, engines and engineers, and of Chafe's love for the railroad and the people who worked on it. It was published in 1987 and is now out of print and very hard to get. Has over 100 pages and lots of pictures of the Newfoundland Railway from 1911 - 1962. http://www.tidespoint.com/usedbooks/workingonrailroad.shtml Purchased this one recently and it's not the type of book to read from front to back necessarily. I just open it up to random pages and read his opinions on random things. In the Words of E. B. White: Quotations from America's Most Companionable of Writers by E.B. White, Martha White In a book that draws on E. B. White's books, collected works and published and unpublished letters and papers, the literary legend's granddaughter collects his best quotes--on writing, nature, everyday life and much more. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12044771-in-the-words-of-e-b-white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONY MAYO Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Interesting stuff. In a chapter about foreign aid to Finland the author states in what seems like mild bewilderment that among the more curious volunteers to the fight against Russia were "a handful of Japanese and a Jamaican negro".

Schnitzel Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Life is pretty boring of late and since I'm stuck as a homebody at the moment readign a lot of travel/adventure stuff guy follows in the footsteps of Captain Cook - it's p[retty good but when I first read it ten years back I thought it was much better two guys riding a bike across mongolia. was okay but then out of the blue one dude starts going right into detail about having a wank in the shower ..weird yeah this could have been good but I'm a guy so the description of ricardo's smoking eyes wasn't to my liking. usual scandinavian noir fiction.

John Smith Doe Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Pretty interesting book. It's an autobiography of dude named Jack Black. I was in the autobiography section a while ago when I saw a staff's recommendation that said "Jack Black's autobiography" and I thought it would be funny and realized I didn't know anything about him. But I was thinking of the actor :P Anyway, picked it up and realized it's a different one in the 1920's and I guess he inspired hella beat generation people like Kerouac and Burroughs n' shiiiiit. It's pretty interesting, he's just some kid/ young guy hooking up with all these burglars and learning the trade, hopping trains and smoking opium. Also picking away at this. Mostly trying to read a chapter or two right before I go to bed so I can get scared haha People always say this book is scary, and I've never been scared by a book, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's admittedly a little creepy so far. Also, never seen the classic movie before either, so I wanted to read the book before I saw it.
