serial rapist Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Speaking of Bill Bryson, I think everyone should read this book. Breaks down so much shit, history, science, dinosaurs, dna all of that and more. Easy and entertaining to read and super informative.

DrPiddlesworth Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Just read this. I liked it. I like the way Margret Antwood writes. It is very informal. And I just started this. It seems pretty weird but well written so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BETELGEUSE Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hell yeah, the reason why i picked up a walk in the woods is because I finished this one, and it became one of my favorite books, and thought I should read more shit done by this author. The information is quite amazing, and covers a vast scope of knowledge, I highly recommend it! Speaking of Bill Bryson, I think everyone should read this book. Breaks down so much shit, history, science, dinosaurs, dna all of that and more. Easy and entertaining to read and super informative.

Albert Camus Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 pretty confusing, just started From what i hear, this was supposed to be printed with different color fonts so the reader could keep better track of all the flashbacks in the book, but at the time it wasn't possible, and then they just never did it. I just picked up the confederacy of dunces too but haven't started it yet. A walk in the woods is a rad book, real easy read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecarwreck Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 FFFUUUUU This book's been a mindfuck so far. It really helps if you've read the portrait first there's a "key" somewhere online that lays out, section by section, the central symbols and "path" of each. hell of a book if you stick with it, though, and one of THE BEST ending lines ever. Just wait til you get to Finnegan's Wake. There's also a bunch of comic book versions around... you know, for the kids. In other news, I'm "reading" this today: yeah.

KM4RT Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 FFFUUUUU This book's been a mindfuck so far. It really helps if you've read the portrait first I think it's the only book I've not finished once I started. And I've started it a number of times now. I just don't seem to fucking get it!

KM4RT Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 A 40+ page sentence......wank factor? I'd like to finish it one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarwreck Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 here's a couple sites that were handy when I taught that beast: Skeleton Key Corresponding Map of Dublin Schemata That last one really helps keep shit straight (and in line with The Odyssey--so if you can remember that, you're golden.) Shit's life-changing after about 3 reads. Muddle through and keep in mind the stream-of-thought factor (i.e. 40-page sentences) and it'll be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranx0 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It looks as though you are interested in work by American authors. If I may suggest by other American authors: Flannery O'Connor - Wise Blood (see the movie from 1979 too!) Henry David Thoreau - Walden Samuel L. Clemens aka Mark Twain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockTheCasbah Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I did crystal meth on accident one night and sat down with a pen and paper in my garage, completely confident that I could not only design, but build with mathematic precision, a spaceship. I went to Barnes and Noble and grabbed this book that night... THREE days and about 24 xanax bars later, I finally came down to earth and realized that I had an entire notebook filled with complex spaceship designs that made no sense at all. But the book is good. PGW/ASTRONAUTFARMER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
