mackfatsoe Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Just read Child of God by Cormac, it was a fast read, had all the standard Cormac violence, sexuality, man in nature type shit. Entertaining for sure. Next gonna read Paul Auster's Book of Illusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|O__________o|-robojones Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just finished Stephen King's Under The Dome. 1075 pages and didn't have to slog through a single sentence. Couldn't put it down. I've been a fan of his for as long as I can remember...I think Cujo was the first one of his books I read. I was 8 years old with a horrible flu & was home from school for 3 days. Finished Cujo and after that I was hooked. He pumps out literature like a madman and his writing style is second to none. dark tower series i read in one week... at the end i was like fuuuuck thats fucked up. cosign on the king . reading http://bestlittlebookshelf.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/life-of-pi-by-yann-martel/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethinglikethat Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Extremely dense but if you enjoy military history or science writing (preferably both) this is an exciting read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALIgula Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Are those books meant to be jokes or actual facts and stuff? both. there are two authors. the doctor adds factual medical tidbits, while the other author adds the humor....kinda like love lines with dr drew. they are very small books with a lot of interesting things to read about....like why someone poops or pees a certain color....and myths. they are made small to be put in the bathroom for people to read while they poop...and pee.

Banana fishd Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I dont know if I posted this...but I am still trying to read this and brave new world. I just got through a reading binge two months ago and am still suffering from that: Franny and zoey Raise high the roof beam carpenters Neon Light Fathers and sons Matilda I am trying to find a new zine with short stories to hold me over until I feel like reading books again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarwreck Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I could recommend a ton of lit journals, if that's what you're looking for. I'll pimp the one I'm an editor for first, though: Harpur Palate (the cover art might look familiar to freight heads)... and an online one that is done by some friends: Ragazine. HP is smaller-ish but we get good stuff and Ragazine has a lot of weird and eclectic writers. If you want something with "bigger" names, check out Paris Review, Black Warrior Review, Meridian, Kenyon Review, Laurel Review, The Literary Review, Ninth Letter, Thema, etc. etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toiletseat Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 some book about a guy and some dudes who are walking in the middle of nowhere, and at one moment one stops and calls it a day. the other ones just run around in circles and after that there are a bunch letters and stuff. the next day one was a goat that said it wanted anal sex. some more sleeping, eating and fornicating followed by boring games of chess, it is located in the city of berlin.

abcs Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 i been reading Naked Lunch. Having some mixed feelings about this book. First and foremost i like William S Burroughs. I read The Soft Machine, Junky, Nova Express and a couple others. The guy was a solid. His prose immaculate. Naked Lunch is very abstract. There is nothing subtle about its complexity and Im cool with that. Actually a difficult read unless you constantly remind yourself that its not supposed to flow together whatsoever and or make perfect sense. Ok. That said this has got to be the most homoerotic shit i've ever read. Im like 75 pages in and so far scattered within those 75 pages a lot of pretty descriptive gay sex. Not just a little bit. More detail than necessary IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 i'm finishing up blood meridian and wow. that one takes a little bit with it when it's done. harrowing. i'm gonna have to read lolita, it's on so many best novels lists and i'm trying to read the classics. that would prolly also include stuff like burroughs, which i can't say i'm too keen on reading. as for all the weird kids shit, literally haha, no thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 read burroughs. You wont be disappointed. Bear in mind the content is questionable but the delivery more than makes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
