I've got all four in .doc format  8)  Purple prose is required, as are cardboard flat characters.

Share, please!
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

Turned out two of those files were broken  :sad:

However, the good thing about Twilight being insanely, unreasonably popular is that there are always other working downloads if your original one turns out to be crap.

So I present, instead, pdfs of all four.  I'll mirror the link in the O:MF thread too.  And start reading these, and making notes tonight.

This really is the eternal debate, isn't it?

I could read Reich, Kafka, Sun Tzu, or the Twilight quadrilogy.

Decisions, decisions...

I'm reading Fisk, Robert Jordan, a book comparing Foucault with Zizek and (after dinner) Twilight.

Being unemployed is awesome.

I'd only spend my wages on books anyway, so its win-win really.

Is it plugged in?

Given the amount of debate on this thread, I think it makes it obvious that...

there are NO books that NO-ONE should read.

Dianetics.

I think that goes in the category of "Books That No One Should Believe".

Theoretically that should be every book ever.

I have a copy of that, left behind by my ex roommate.  I'd burn it if I didn't think book burners should be tossed on the fire.

There are a couple of copies of it on Scribd. It's full of the really horrible alt medicine talking points about how "evil and stupid" doctors are. I miss the days when they hung quacks.

Anything by Orson S Card except Ender's Game.
The Sword of Truth series except the first book (Wizard's first Rule)
Daniel Goleman - The Meditative Mind

... and

This thread.

;-)

I beg to differ on one point on that first point. 

Ender's Shadow was also a good read.  :)

Everything else seems correct enough.
