'Aliens... Angels... Demons... Zombies... Ancient Evils... Modern Horrors... These are MADMEN'S DREAMS. Eric S. Brown and D. Richard Pearce present a deranged collection of 34 horror and sci-fi tales so startling they could only come from the nightmares of the insane. Brown and Pearce take the reader into the darkest corners of the madhouse in these tales that run the gamut from classic horror and science fiction to intense action and psychological terror. "Madmen's Dreams" is a peak at the inner workings of an unstable mind. ' ...

Also few books for the comparative religion exam and 'Japanese Music' by Hisao Tanabe.

Carl Sagan is such a cunt. I'd write him hate-mail...if he were still alive.

I've made my peace with the good knight, Sir Hawking. I feel like I owe him a wookie life debt, in fact.

What's your beef with Sagan?

perhaps it was just the way he said billions.

it takes a real cunt to say billions like that.

other than that, I've had a problem with him since Project Blue Book.

Just finished



Not sure what my next read will be. I have so many to choose from thanks to a mega crush on a girl who works at a second hand book store down the road. She must think I really love books, when in fact I really love her.

If he were still alive I would want him to be my dad.

MacCarthy-The Road. I'm digging it. Goes well with Velvet Caccoon-Atropine.

I've started browsing through 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die by Tom Moon. Here is a list of them, without the descriptions and reccomendations: http://www.1000recordings.com/the-list/
The A's weren't so good, but the B's look better.

You noticed that too? There's a benign way of saying "billion" and Sagan really doesn't know what it is.

Skimming through these for the second time through, just to pick up some extra tid-bits here, and there...







Both are outstanding, and highly informative reads from beginning to end.
There's nothing like a good non-fiction book on a subject that I'm interested in.

I can't believe I've started reading this series:
I can't believe I've never read this series:*




*Delete as appropriate.

what's the first one? it's broken. I'll read these, even if they don't apply to me probably.

All in all this was a good biography....def. hunt it down if you are a Burroughs fan. The only problem I had with it is that it BADLY needed some more editing. Eliminating some of the irrelevant rambling about unimportant people in Burroughs' life would have cut down on the books fairly lengthy 659 pages.

The immense details makes it a very a comprehensive overview of his life though.





I'm reading this for shits and giggles....it's all right.
