|

|
I got "Choosing Death" for my b-day. Have been readingthat and am almost done. |

haha, I'm a very slow reader, but this one is just GLACIAL
I'm not very far, I pick the book up, read a page or two, put it down, come back to it after a few weeks
so it's early on. Satan's advising the minions against attacking Heaven. He hasn't appled the garden of eden yet. |
|
Some book called the Exes and it was kind of crappy. About a Boston rock band who wants to ''make it big in the boston scene''. It's pretty funny actually.
edit: Pagan Kennedy is the author. |

My girlfriend introduced me to my main man AC and I think he's fucking rad. We found some rare book of his plays at a store in Burlington VT but didn't have enough money to pick it up.
|
|
yeah I tried reading The Exes
I like Cintra Wilson and J.T. Leroy better though |
|
I'm the same way. I read it opn the train, I usually only get 1 or 2 pages done before I fall asleep. That part's pretty good, but it gets a little slow after that. |

|
that book of plays has an awesome play 'The Misunderstanding'
the Innkeeper and his daughter off their guests to supplement their income (kinda like Motel Hell), but they unwittingly kill their long lost son |

|
rachel said: The Da Vinci Code, Angela's Ashes, and Twilight of the Idols and the Anti-Christ. |
'Tis is the follow up to Angela's Ashes. It's not as sad. Most of the time it's pretty funny. |
|
I read Nickel and Dimed a little while ago. I need to find another book though. |

The chapters rotate between the two stories. its pretty good. |

Conversations with Iannis Xenakis by Balint Andras Varga
I forgot I had this--Xenakis is one of those composers who makes dissonant arrangements by default. Great for horror soundtracks. |
|
The Secret Teachings of all Ages- M.P. Hall 800+ pages of philosophy,numerology,symbolism, interesting stuff. Behold A Pale Horse, Haven't read the whole thing yet,but it is the first book that gave me chills,and Rule By Secrecy by Jim Marrs,and 9/11 The Road to Tyranny by Alex Jones, good read but the Documentary film is better. |
|

all you cold dark winter bm kids should read some Jack London. his descriptions of freezing and/or starving to death are awesome - true horror. get yourselves a compilation of his short stories. if you are lucky, somebody will be eaten by wolves - mad cool. he also wrote "the Iron Heal" which is a good read if you're into socialism or politics in general. |

America's Secret Establishment is a great skull and bones book. I forget the author, you can find it in current events/political science.
|
|
Hmmm, I'm surprised I didn't post on this thread back in February. I bet I missed it due to computer troubles.
Lately I've just been reading Harry Potter. I started the first one the week the new one was released and I'm on the fifth one now. |

YES! It also "skims" over the 300 various roll backs he's arranged as well as restructing several Clinton laws, not to mention how he dismantled the EPA into a regulatory committee for big business. Very well written, not alot of big talk you'll forget, non partisan too. |
