I'm still reading Turgenev and very much enjoying it. I really like the characters. Bazarov really is showing tthe faults of nihilism. It even seems like he doesn't believe in it himself anymore. Arkady seems to not believe in Barazovs ways either. He seems to call him his mentor just because nihilism was so interesting.
Anyway, I'll probably finish it today.

Sheakespeare's Bawdy by Eric Partridge, 1956. It claims to be an exploration of the 'the non-sexual, sexual, homosexual, general and valedictory' aspects of the bawdy in Sheakespeare. It further claims to be a 'literary and psychological essay and a comprehensive glossary' that is 'an invaluable work'. We'll see.

"Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea," by Charles Seife, and it is very good. It's all about the number zero - it's history, it's signifigance - and while that may not sound too interesting, it really is.

kurt cobain journals

fight club

Reading about the Philosophy of Language and theories about evolution and culture. Science and stuff...

A normal book I can recommend:
"Russendisko" by Vladimir Kaminer
funny german writer

Just read Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron (Clowes). Weird, very very weird...

Going to re-read Ghost World (Clowes), then going to try Skin Deep (Burns).

ohhh sillies. i can't read.

Neither can I. That's why I like these books with all the pictures.

who dosen't love good illustrations

my avatar very clearly displays that i can't read. and remember, i was talking about how much i love wheres waldo the other day. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO WORDS, AND I CAN'T READ.

'Staring at sound' its about the flaming lips, THEY ROCK!!!!!

You absolutely have to read the manga 20th Century boys or Monster by Urasawa. Absolutely.

I am reading Stephen Jay Gould's The MISMEASURE OF MAN

i'm reading three books

choke - chuck palahnuiik
breakfast of champions - kurt vonnegut
thumbsucker - walter kirn

Albert Camus - The Plague
and the next will be Parfume by Patrick Süßkind

not wanted on the voyage.

Breakfast of Champions is one of Vonnegut's best works.
You should give me a review of Choke. I've read Survivor and it was pretty good, so I'm thinking of getting something else by Palahnuik.


Right now Steppenwolf - Hesse. Easily relatable. It's very good.

Finished Skin Deep. Next up, a re-read of Ghost World.

Ellroy's White Jazz once again after LAC, Big Nowhere & Dahlia (awaiting De Palma's version of the book).
Had forgotten how he had written the book, I mean : lack of verbs, or use of verbs at the imperative tense; riddance of most of what makes a sentence; use of punctuation to build the rhythm of the novel : - / everywhere.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets- Stephen Crane

I read that in college.

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

"flash 8 professional" blah blah
boring.

Like an SY sucker, Lee's Road Movies.

yeah breakfast is damn good so far, i quite like god bless you mr rosewater though, that's my favorite of vonneguts.

you should read choke it was pretty good. it's basically about this crazed sex addict who pretends to choke to death in restaurants to pay his sick mother's medical bills. in a nutshell

heee-- choke was hilarious. though the scam is quite funny in itself, the fuck scenes are the best. ("scenes"-- whatever). a very funny book. liked it better than lullaby. though i haven't read all of his books. they were on sale at the bookstore the other day, but i picked other stuff (job related mostly--).

hah yeah the sex scenes would jump at you from nowhere. but then again he is a sex addict

much like me, babe, lets do it


Im reading Girlfriend in a Coma. its at a pretty fucked part right now.

ATTENTION: [SPOILERS]
fucking hilarious that he gets it on during his 12-stepper meetings-- ha ha ha--
[/SPOILERS]
the descriptions are quite hot.

oooh yeah let's make sex on a library shelf

gimme other palahniuk books to read? i consumed all at the local library and can't buy them all -- favorites?

also that he can't get it up in the church and that he gets beads stuck up his ass

]that's the only i've read

i wanna read fight club but covers that advertise "now a major motion picture" usually give me a rash. i mean, can you build a dignified library that way? :D

---

fuck i gotta go. back tomorrow.

yeah i was contemplating reading that. but then again it wouldn't have been already completely ruined as i wasn't really paying attention when i watched the movie
