Seriously...is it really necessary? You really are a fuckin douchebag.

It'll really help, I think. I've barely started Ulysses, but reading Portrait beforehand led to increased understanding.

You're a fucking flute if you don't read Portrait, it's like watching The Godfather 2 before the first. You'll probably give up on it anyway, so it doesn't really matter

zing! (but almost positively true nonetheless)

and to answer your IM question you left, I WAS saying to skip that bitch, hahahah. But I wasn't really serious, I just know doomcifer was waiting for someone to tell him not to bother reading it

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hey, fuck you guys. okay.

 

[Chromatose]

ah fuck, just skip 'em both and read Finnegans Wake

 

[Krilons Resa]

You know what - fuck Joyce and his pretentious crackpot ramblings altogether!! To complete tomorrow morning's beershit, I'm gonna wipe my ass with Ulysses!!

 

[Chromatose]

That's the spirit! Joyce would be proud.

Well that's the exact opposite reaction I thought I'd get, heh.

I thought you mentioned before that you'd never read Ulysses...?

 

[Chromatose]

hahahah

it's true

 

[NAD]

I started Joyce with Finnegans Wake, but I've been told I'm as insane as I am stupid, so I'm okay with it.

Finished Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut the other night, not sure why that one took me a few months to get through, usually a Vonnegut book is accomplished with two whiskies and one sleepless night.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Been spending a lot of time at the library because I am a cheap fuck. Among recent reads:
The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara
Gods And Generals & The Last Full Measure, Jeff Shaara (basically tell the story of the Civil War, with Angels being specifically about Gettysburg and the other two books sandwiching it. Cool shit.)

Song of Troy, Colleen McCullough (Trojan war, blah blah blah, lots of buttsekz but also lots of killing and cool characterization and stuff. I'm a Greek mythology geek so I dug it.)

Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurty (Just grabbed it today, haven't read it yet but I've heard great things.)

 

[Susperia]

Picked up Gods and Myths of the Viking Age by HR Ellis Davidson today. I'd read it a few years ago already, but it was on sale and a really pretty hardcover version for only $7 so I grabbed it.
