You may study... but be warned that I may drug Rob Lowe and bring him into the hotel room and have my way with him. Sexually.

perfectly acceptable.

 

[Lunar Still]

Now that's entertainment.

I don't go nerdy for books anyway, as long as I have something enjoyable to read, I'm happy.

On a related note, we are about to read "Coming of Age in Mississippi" by Anne Moody in my Lit Interp class. That's unrelated because I have no reason to believe it will be enjoyable.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I just finished The Book of Jhereg, by Steven Brust, on the recommendation of a couple friends. Damn good genre fantasy with a couple really impressive turns of phrase and a good wry tone, but the plot really moves too fast and loses some opportunities for real effectiveness that way. Still a worthy read.

Next up, I'm really not sure. I'm boxing up all of my books and I don't know when I'll have them shipped up (beyond a box of shit I can't do without), so I guess I'll see what I can locate at the libraries.

my books were boxed up in the basement for the room-swap that took place while i was away, and i lost my copy of Richard Matheson's Hell House in the process. still rather pissed about it.

[Lies and Perfidy]

Yeah, I'm making sure to box everything up myself to avoid that. I'm shipping up the essentials (George RR Martin, my Arthurian source material, a couple others) and my movies tomorrow before my flight, but the rest are gonna have to stay until I'm really settled. It's a complicated situation, I might be moving three times in the next three months before I have a permanent place.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

i'd be quite unsettled at the idea of all my books displaced for that long.


but then, i'm just crazy.

 

[EricT]

I get worried when I'm away from my DVDs, Books, and CDs for more then a day. I always tend to think someone is fucking with them.

Then I was informed that the room I store all my CDs and DVDs is going to be given to my dads girlfriends daughter come June, so I'm gonna have to find somewhere to store the thousands of CDs and DVDs I have.

 

[perniciosa]

I read a lot of thick books with microscopic letters like Physiology, Parasitology, Microbiology, but now I'm focused on a book with big and colorful pictures - atlas of anaomy.
I didn't read a non medical book in months, I wish I had more time for reading...

As I am wont to do, I'll respond with another quote:

"Mark Twain. Jesus fucking Christ, he's dead and he's still funnier than I am."

I just saw this and fucking

 

[lad]

no disagreement on that. you're talking to the girl who's first crush was Batman.

i meant the people who aren't replying, thus not reading.

have i ever asked if you read Preacher?

I didn't post earlier because I'm reading a pocket-sized Chambers book on 'Scottish Traditional Music', its history and the general theory entailed, which is pretty poncy of me. *shrugs*

 

[Ghost of Red Dragon]

Preacher >>> all other reading material
