The Ultimate Mindfuc|<.
No one wants to read what other people read, so why keep it stickied?
I just read a fortune cookie message: "You begin to realize how important it is to share your opinions with others"... hmm, but I'm always shoving my thoughts into people's faces...
KAKAW.
I was thinking of starting a homegrown sort of newsletter for the books I read. Ya know, news and stuff. Reviews also.
Just read:
Primo Levi: The Periodic Table
This books, I enjoyed very much. It is a linking of events in the authors life to different elements. For example, a period of his life, he met a man who enjoyed climbing mountains, had the mountains in his blood, would climb for a number of days without eating. The chapter was callled Iron. Very good stuff.
Joe Haldeman: The Forever War
I enjoy most books I read, cause I pick them carefully (or they're a classic, whatever). This is a classic in the SF Masterworks series. I've really enjoyed most of the Science Fiction I've read so far. This is no exception. About a man named William Mandella, who was conscripted to fight aliens, and his struggle to stay alive with his eventual life partner, trying to survive the ravages of time and the war.

It used to be stickied, but then Clive went berserk and unstickied it. What a total madman.

Tried to read some Robert Rankin ... got bored and decided I didn't like his writing style, too much weird and not enough funny

I'm just done reading this month playboy
meh
Shadow Assassin
Well, most of the books I read are Star Wars novels. Wading through all of the New Jedi Order series is proving to be a difficult task. >.<
That, and I read a lot of manga. Mostly Rurouni Kenshin, though I do have a few others...

Ooh. Hmm, let's see. I've read Terry Pratchett's Sourcery, I got a little bit into Wyrd Sisters before giving up on that - not that it was bad at all, mind, I just felt like reading something different - I finished the Marilyn Manson book, and I'm now almost done with Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. Today, I picked up Life of Pi by Yann Martel at the library, simply because it mentions sloths in the first part of chapter one. I love hearing about sloths.

I am reading 'Freedom is not free'. So far it sucks terribly. Not even worth mentioning, just like issuing a warning--Do not read it.
Razor Sharp Thumb Tack
I read Bill Mahr's "when you ride alone you ride with Binladen"
I am in no way responsible for the above post. It was my hand's fault. Bad hand.

First bit of chapter 1 of Life of Pi, there. What radness.

Hope and Fate
I'm presently reading The Years of Rice and Salt, by Kim Stanley Robinson. Granted, the first books I read by this author was the Mars trilogy, which was...dull. Sure, it was scientifically great work and very realistic, but the story itself less than spectacular. The Years of Rice and Salt is a bit better, actually, though I had some reservations about it, a decent alt-hist on the postulation (rather deus ex machina, albeit) of the removal of Europe from the global picture during the Black Death (99% of Europe's population killed instead of 33%). Not the best book, but not the worst, either.

I just finished George Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?, which I highly recommend. Absolutely hilarious.
Next on the list is Social Security and its Discontents by Michael Tanner. I know, I'm boring, but hey, I love politics.

You're not boring. And you should read Politcally Correct Bed-time Stories if you can sometime.
