What good books have you read recently?

[Fizzwitz Glorypoop]

Well, didn't he write The Prince to impress that one dude? I could be wrong about that, though.

[Fredfredly ⊂(◉‿◉)つ]

He wrote The Prince to tell Lorenzo de Medici how to run florence.

also, in the one im writing, i have a neon coloured picture of Prince the singer on the cover...heh heh heh

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

So are yuo supposed to tell Bush how to run America?

[Cain]

Bush is a tool.  If he read The Prince, all the oil execs and Enron people would've died in plane crashes or of heart attacks by now.  As well as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle.

[Fredfredly ⊂(◉‿◉)つ]

i actually dedicated my to cheney.

heh. my paper sucks, but im DONE!

also i put a pcture of Prince on the cover....heh heh

[Cain]

Oh dear God...

Good work with the dedication though.

[Sinister Dexter]

Reading Four Past Midnight by Stephen King.  I'm actually about halfway through Secret Window, Secret Garden.  King's very good at what he does.

Finished Deception Point by Dan Brown, the best suspense writer I've ever read.

[Cain]

Brown?  Suspense writer?  Please for the love of God read some Ludlum or Robert Little, asap.

Now reading John Horgan - The Psychology of Terrorism

[Baron Von Stevenstein]

I just got the Illuminati Pappers by R.A.W.

[East Coast Hustle]

I just finished "The Outlaw Sea" by William Langeweische.

Cain, you need to read this one. Ignore the nominal point of the book and focus on his description of the ocean as an economic and geopolitical entity and how it deals with the problems that arise in relation to the concept of nation-states.

[Cain]

That does sound interesting, I'll order it as soon as I'm back home.

[Rev. St. Syn, KSC (Ret.)]

Reading: "The Montauk Project" - LAIL

[Cain]

I'm reading the Inculabula stuff that relates to that.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Not a book but:

Hunter S. Thompson - Fear & Loathing in Elko

I've read two books from the library in the last few weeks

Magical Thinking, by Augusten Burroughs. It's a good book written by a guy who may have a schizoid personality (hence magical thinking.) There's nothing _too_ obscene, but he does give um.. graphic descriptions of acts that would have him arrested in Utah, and a few of them involve Catholic priests. Don't say I didn't warn you! It's still interesting, but yeah... the blowjob-from-the-undertaker chapter caught me off guard.

I pulled a random book off the fiction shelves this morning, called 'Zombie.' by Joyce Carol Oates. I know if the guy who wrote the review on the back cover read the book, but it's still decent. A lot of ampersands; It's kind of like being inside the conciousness of a delusional murderer. So far, in 80 pages, I've learned how to perform an ice pick lobotomy.

"Hammer the pick five centimeters deep, through the bony deposit. Move pick medially seven to ten degrees, then laterally fifteen to twenty degrees. Remove with a twist, apply pressure to the eye socket to prevent hemmoraghing." MMMMM, I sure hope the chick sitting behing me on the bus didn't read it over my shoulder
