What yall readin, dawgs?!
Im reading a shitty book about star signs and sex! It’s absolutely stupid! Apparently, my piscean turn-ons are homewrecking, married men and soft core porn! which is so untrue,
I only like to date guys who have girlfriends, not married. And I like to watch hard core porn!
hehehehehe! Nah, Im just kidding.
It’s still a shit book though. A good book to read is “The coming global superstorm” It scared the shit out of me!
Finished Gaiman´s “American Gods” last week. Now I´m trying “His Dark Materials” by Philip Pullman. And after that, “Illium” by Dan Simmons is waiting for me, as well as “Desperation” and some older King books with connections to the “Dark Tower”.

…I thought a book was just what vincent was holding when butch shoots him.
i just read some crazy stuff by a guy name Franze Kafka, Metamorphasis and The Judgement. Its crazier than stuff David lynch thinks of.
Currently im reading War of the Worlds, and im amazed at how well it reads and hold up after a hundred years old.
[quote] some crazy stuff by a guy name Franze Kafka[/quote]
The “guy” is one of the most fucking famous and prestigious writers of all times! Are you trying to say you never heard about him before? Btw, it’s Franz Kafka.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound arrogant… and it’s good that you got to know him and read his work… it’s just… I can’t believe someone didn’t know Franz Kafka! :o
I assumed he was trying to be funny, but, who knows?
Well, he could have at least spelled it right if he was…
I am currently reading Endymion - the third book in Dan Simmons’ Hyperion-saga. I really can’t recommend these books enough to all the sci-fi geeks out there - these are the sh1t of the genre. And yeah, the sh1t in the best frickin’ way possible. Awesome, awesome books…
Have you read “Illium” yet?? Cause, like i said above, that´s probably gonna be the next book i´ll read. I´m kinda thinking about waiting for the second part so i can read the whole thing at a single blow, but it may take Simmons years to come up with that…
Right i’m reading White Jazz by James Ellroy. I’ve read three oghter books by him he is a genious. He’s my favorite author. everyone should read him.
