Those all look new. I can't tell if you're totally broke or very wealthy.



I used "highly recommended" too, and now I wonder why the phrase "lowly recommended" isn't ever used.

"Is Dirty a good album?"
"I'd recommend it, but lowly."

SEE ROB!

Ahhhh pony.. its too bad we're all not in college anymore, when the forum was mostly college folks we used to talk about books and shit all the time. Now, its just you with a great reading list..

I'm starting back up in grad school again this Fall but that shit is all Ed and Ed Psyc books.. no fun at all I miss reading all kinds of obscure and boring historical monographs and digging through primary source materials :(

I scored this today and I am so happy
I should visit the webstore of my fav used book shop more often so I don't miss out on the good stuff (usually only go there once a month cause once I go in there I won't leave for 2 hours... :/ )

DO I LOOK BROKE TO YOU???
but really, do I look broke? :/
(not buying much besides books these days and if you're smart and bored at uni you will find books pretty cheap on the internet most of the times)

i like john giorno, i wanna lick his beautiful face behind which his beautiful brain is hiding. IT MUST BE SO BEAUTIFUL, that genius brain, I wanna cry

Why cry when you can dance with a fish?

evollove, YOU ARE A GENIUS, let me lick your face and then dance with a fish!!

Just finished these three this week:

For real, if you want to read a deeply disturbing account of one man's life in Jazz and drugs and crime, STRAIGHT LIFE by Art Pepper. Just finished it. wow. the turn up was REAL

Now reading this

I started reading this last night at work:



I really like it. The pieces actually read like something a stoned person would put on their tumblr account, or whatever. I think it's entertaining and there are a lot of honest thoughts which I am thinking about sometimes (all the times) too and I find it really nice that someone had the chance to put out a book like that.
The same with Gabby Bess and Heiko Julien's work. Really easy to read, funny but still very thoughtful and good for reading at work or on a train when you can't really read more than a page at once cause STUFF IS GOING ON and you can't .. say.. read a whole chapter in a novel or something.
I need to do some more research and find more people that do similar stuff.
IT'S NICE, me thinks.

edit:
Also, I found out about this book last night and googled a bit and found some quotes from it. Liked them. Want to read it. Have to wait til I get MONEY next week though (WHY CAN'T I HAVE EVERYTHING THE SECOND I WANT IT!!!!..................... ok)

Recently finished All the Pretty Horses (McCarthy), about to embark on Infinite Jest (Foster-Wallace),

Currently still juggling Underwold (DeLilo), Bleeding Edge (Pynchon) etc.

Thanks.

Realized I haven't posted in this thread since like June 20th of last year. I've been working through A Song of Ice and Fire, and I'm about halfway done with the 3rd book. Would be interesting to get done with it by the end of Game of Thrones season 4.

Reading a comic that a co-worker lent me.



I am on the 3rd book so far. Good stuff!

i tried reading that some months ago, but i couldn't stomach the prose.

i'm gonna have to get the cliff notes.

I work with a lady who is HUGE into fantasy novels and she has read all of the fire & ice books, and she says the same thing about the prose. She said that she likes how the TV show is cutting so much extraneous character background exposition that the books are rife with, especially books 3 and 4.

that's great to know, thanks.

plus on tv, there's the khaleesi
