I'm still standing by my suggestion of "Supersense". In chapter 6 he talks about hermaphrodites, freak shows, chi, the anal glands of civet cats, fluorescent potato plants, the Kreb's cycle, the Great Chain of Being, tiger penises, homeopathy, the placebo effect, chocolate fudge shaped like a dog turd, incest, and masturbating with a chicken carcass. How can you resist a book like that?

The comments on that look suspicious. Can I trust it?

HAWT!  But I want to see one with you smiling.

And I'm with Iason and Supersense.  Anal glands of civit cats--come on!  How can you resist?

Its legit.  TPB commenters are about one step above Youtube commenters, at the best of times. I've gone to download legit economic textbooks before, only to read comments saying "trojan", "this infected my computer" and "nazi fuck die USA Amerikkka!" below it.

1.  I was smiling.

2.  Supersense sounds like it was written by Aini.

Aini and LMNO.  On acid.  In a fetish bar.

Also, I finished the Dan Brown book.  I actually forgot the name for a second there, it was so memorable.  I think I'm going to watch Angels and Demons, just to fully round off the experience.

The part where he compares DNA, the Kreb's cycle and symbiosis to essentialism, vitalism, and holism respectively sounded more like Kai.

Except essentialism is bunk, vitalism goes way too metaphysical (strong emergence is a better argument), and holism is....well, actually, holism is pretty much right on with what I would talk about.

Wait, so have we decided on the next book? Is it DB?

Are we done with Angel Tech?
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

How about Foucault's Pendulum? I started reading that recently, and it's not half bad. I've got a PDF to distribute too.

I'm wrapping up Angel Tech, but we can move on.


But Foucault's Pendulum?  I suspect reading a doorstop of a book will kill the momentum.

Fuck, we might as well read Infinite Jest.

You have a point. I didn't really realize how long it was, reading a PDF version.

What about The Mothman Prophecies? I got through that in a day.
