Books[views:7983][posts:43]________________________________ [Dec 29,2004 5:08pm - retzam ""] There hasn't been a books thread for a while (at least a few months), so I thought I'd make one. I just finished The Lurker At The Threshold by Lovecraft, and now I'm reading The Dirt (hahaha this book is already one of my favorites and I'm only at page 50). What is everyone reading? |

| ___________________________________________ [Dec 30,2004 12:59am - BestialOnslaught ""] Right now I am reading 3 things: - America, The Book - John Stewart and co. - The SS: Hitler's Instrument Of Terror - Gordon Williamson - The Double - Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Daily Show book was an xmas gift along with the new Carlin book and a new Godfather book (?!?) by an author who licensed the property from the Puzo family. I hope it does the original justice. dugoxistance said:And I hope to get back into my Terry Goodkind books. Fuck yeah! I am looking forward to the 8th installment (wait... 9th?)... The last one was pretty cool in keeping up the tradition of exploring different histories and mythologies, expanding on the mystical elements of the world. I like all the books, but I felt after The Blood Of The Fold, the next 3 or 4 books were a little lacking at times. The Pillars Of Creation was very promising but then got wrapped up way too quickly and conveniently, I was kind of disappointed with that. I just looked at Terry's site, I guess the next book WILL be the 9th full novel, 10th publication if you count Debt Of Bones. |

I guess when this storyline is done he's starting over with new stuff in the same setting. i love Goodkind even if everyone says he's a Tolkien and Jordan rip off. Fuckers. Richard Rahl is my dad. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 30,2004 6:27am - lady_czerach ""] I'm re-reading "The Evil That Men Do," by Roy Hazelwood. I read it a while ago but Handinjury and I were recently discussing its awesomeness, so I'm reading it again. |

Fuckers. Richard Rahl is my dad. I feel like I'm more on Nathan's side of the family. I'll read anything Goodkind puts out for the foreseeable future; I don't really see that much blatant Tolkien-ism and I've never read Robert Jordan, so I have no complaints. |

""] left behind books are so gay - i mean not even cuz their christian fiction - they are just seriously awful and unreadable - and the ending of the series is the most anticlimactic shitty ending of anything ever - the movie is laughably awesome though |

| _________________________________ [Dec 30,2004 11:59am - retzam ""] I have a friend who's really into Lovecraft. Actually, he was the one who let me borrow The Lurker At The Threshold to read (although that was one of his posthumous works, so I'm not sure how much of it wasn't written by him. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2004 2:20pm - silky ""] "my cousin, my gastroenterologist" by mark leyner. I've been looking for a book/writer like this for most of my adult life. It's total chaos. It's the literary version of grind core. It's/he's so bizzare and unbelieveably funny. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 31,2004 3:37am - eddie ""] dark tower 5 as of 20 minutes ago |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 31,2004 9:44pm - MyDeadDoll ""] i'm finishing up choosing death. i got a ton of books for christmas and i'm having a hard time choosing which to read next |
| _________________________________ [Dec 31,2004 9:55pm - dunwich ""] I've read "My Life With Spirits" by Lon Milo Duquette...haven't read any of his other books. I'm taking a break from "The Discoverers" by Daniel Boorstin to read "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchet. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 31,2004 10:58pm - retzam ""] For Christmas I got: Get In The Van by Henry Rollins Hendrix by John McDermott and Eddie Kramer The Know-It-All by AJ Jacobs I'm anxious to read all of them. I'm very very proud of my Mom for picking out Get In The Van, cause I don't even listen to Black Flag but I know it's going to be a great book just from my brother opening a random page and reading it out loud, hahaha. The Know-It-All from what I can gather is a memoir written by a guy who tried to read all 32 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (I don't know if he did it or not, but his dad had also tried it and only got to like halfway through B), and it basically documents the negative/hilarious effects it had on every facet of his life. Sounds good! |
