Battlenech... I knew the game. What about the books ? Interesting ?
It speaks about robots, isn't it ?

"My Cousin My Gastroenterologist" by Mark Leyner

Read that book. Loved it. Might buy other books by him.

That sounds really good, i'll have to add it to my list.
tell me what you think of it when your finished please.

The Fasting Girl
It's a medical mystery type deal about this girl in Victorian times who claimed to have no eaten for about 12 years. There's a lot in it about anxiety, hysteria, and the likes.
It's been interesting so far, bought it for like $6 so if it turns out to be crap it's not big deal.

the silmarilion.

that book was hilarious. might be a bit dated now but still.

marquis de sade- 120 days of sodom

this is very fucked up shit

very!

I have just finished Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon which was pretty much like his other books and thus pretty good I thought. now I don't know what to read next. Possibly Q by 'Luther Blisset'

I just started Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.

I've been shit with reading lately. I do that though. Read intensely for a few months and then don't read at all and vica versa.

sort of flipping through this Dada book i bought at the art museum.

is luther blisset aware of this whole "luther blisset" thing do you know?

A long, rather difficult waste of time.

Yeah, I think so. I think he's a bit bemused by it.

Gaddis

I was halfway through Elizabeth Bowen's Death of the Heart when I had my bag stolen (with book inside).

So I'm moving on to Always Outnumbered Always Outgunned, by Walter Mosley.

The Catcher in the Rye, again, but only because I needed a short, quick read. About a year ago, when I first read the book, I found myself, somehow, mesmerized by Holden's story. Now I find it almost, uh, phony. It seems like Salinger wrote the book for a chance to poke fun at kids like Holden, or that's how it comes across to me. Holden is almost as repulsive as the 'phonies' he finds himself surrounded by.

just finished post office by bukowski its pretty good its easy too not like the celine im also reading

Finishing Redemption Ark by Alistair Reynolds. I'm a bit of an unapologetic major SF geek. Next I'm going to read Empire the new novel about a near-future American Civil War by Orson Scott Card as part of this book group reading for April/Spring at this Science Fiction Message Board that I'm one of the admins at.

I don't know...reading Nausea didn't put me on a 'what's the meaning of life' trip or anything. I liked it but it didn't make me want to wade much deeper into the waters that the other French existentialist dudes did. Remeber, "Camus can do but Sartre is much smarter" hurhur.

I seem to remember Nausea being quite funny. It's been a while since I read it though..

I'm reading some HP Lovecraft short stories which is sort of like the equivalent to Jackie Collins for pseudo-intellectual geek boys.

must i be peered at by my own face?

Yes. You can rest your chin on your hand and gaze wistfully at your past self frozen in time forever.

your my ICON.

my your ICON?

Oooh, potential double meaning. Sassy.

Why is it most enjoyable posting on this forum at about 4am? What a pain in the arse. I'm going to bed. Goodnight chaps.

Good Night.

check my sig out:

It needs the dots.
If I wasn't a queer I would date her.

A biography of Primal Scream (the band, not the therapy). It's okay, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.

Dominic Sandbrook's White Heat, a history of Britain from 1964 - 1970. For 'study' purposes.

JG Ballard- High Rise
very impressive novel

Wow. I just the other day finished reading that. Excellent book. It reminded me a lot of David Cronenberg's film Shivers.

Yeah, I thought of Shivers too!
