i'm sure that made a LOT of new pixies fangs in the coming years
i know i did!
I'm reading the HOBBIT
GAH
I saw the movie - and it's the first movie based off a book I've seen that not only doesn't cut out parts, but adds a LOT. It's a bit bizarre. Whatever.
I'm feeling strange tonights.
I have yet to read those two. I wonder if AC thought of HoL when they titled Leaf House? Im reading like six books simutaneously (at a reaaalllllyyy slow pace) atm. I just finished reading Ghost World and Scott Pilgrim.
narny im taking american psycho really slow, i have yet to reach pg 100 since christmas. i pretty much only read when i have time to listen to an entire album on vinyl and im currently dealing with exams and drivers ed
its okay, ty. I love that book but I kinda want to take back my extreme fanaticism. i first read it during the period i was obsessed with the minds of serial killers and postmodernism, so that could have been contributing factor in my unabashed adoration. And yeah, I understand. exams are killing me. have only got 4-5 hrs of sleep everyday approx. the last two weeks.
well, im being an overcheiver this whos taking an extra class, and whos in like 50 things afterschool and is a horrible procrastinator. and its especially bad for this year because the principal wanted the students to create a play with an intergration of all major art forms i.e. acting, art, dancing, singing, photography, film and the practices this week and writing have taken up a lot of time.
vesufius, I'll let you know once I get into it. I think (or hope?) I've got a pretty diverse taste when it comes to reading, so I should be good. The only book I've read recently that I can honestly say I didn't like was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Apparently it's got quite a satirical side to it, and I figure you might have to actually get victorian culture to appreciate the satire haha.
And I adore Palahniuk, even though I've been limited in the books I've read of his. I want to grab Invisible Monsters Remix sometime. Also, I heard Diary (or was it Choke?) was being adapted for film.
Sadly, I have so many history books to read so I have no time for all these great books you guys have been talking about. On the subject of history, you guys should check out W.E.B. DuBois -The Souls of Black Folk, and also Jacob Riis -How the Other Half Lives. Both books are very important for a strong understanding of America's flawed past.
Anyone here read Confederation of Dunces?
Im seriously considering studying it for my english final project.
EDIT: Confederacy of Dunces*
Im such a dunce
I snagged up a Bogart biography, Movie Monsters from the 1900s and an old English literature book filled with poetry from my college's library earlier this week. free books are the best books
Reading Tom Robbins Skinny legs and all. He is funny. Also reading John Lockes "I'm a douchbag who attributes human achievement to the king and God" for political philosophy
“Perhaps I should have been a Negro. I suspect I would have been a rather large and terrifying one, continually pressing my ample thigh against the withered thighs of old white ladies in public conveyances a great deal and eliciting more than one shriek of panic. Then, too, if I were a Negro, I would not be pressured by my mother to find a good job, for no good jobs would be available. My mother herself, a worn old Negress, would be too broken by years of underpaid labor as a domestic to go out bowling at night. She and I could live most pleasantly in some moldy shack in the slums in a state of ambitionless peace, realizing contentedly that we were unwanted, that striving was meaningless.”
"Lana Lee was on a bar stool, her legs crossed in tan suede trousers, her muscular buttocks pinning the stool to the floor and commanding it to support her in vertical form. When she moved slightly, the great muscles of her nether cheeks rippled to life to prevent the stool from leaning and tottering even an inch. The muscles rippled around the cushion of the stool and grabbed it, holding it erect. Long years of practice had made her rump a dextrous and wondrous thing."
