Some gay plays by Daniil Charms. I mean, really, this guy is great, but his plays sometimes remind me of our story game there.

Currently reading the new pope's first encyclical, and you should too.

 

[marduk1507]

Really? Why?

 

[hyena]

it is really good. it's the first encyclical with flow i've read in a while.

I finished reading The Historian by Elisabet Kostova a while ago and although the book had a lot of highpoints at the end it left me unimpressed becouse the ending plot was too weak in my opinion

now reading: Künstliche Intelligenz für Ingenieure, Bd. 2, Technische Anwendungen (Artifical intelligence for engineers, Part 2, Technical applications)

I don't really have much time to read novels or anything else than technical literature.... so I'm sorry that I can't recomend something better

 

[Magrathean]

Better than scientific books, especially a.i. ones? Those are good enough. (I'm not being sarcastic.)

 

[hyena]

i'm just reading silly stuff these days, i need to get started on something better.

E. A. Poe (my immortal hero)

 

[Magrathean]

The only thing i've liked by him is "The masque of the Red Death", and even then i didn't quite like the ending. Really not a big fan of Poe.

 

[marduk1507]

Well, maybe youll change your mind as time goes by and come back to Mr Poe with a different mind. Or you wont.

 

[Magrathean]

That could happen. It's been years since i last read the man.

 

[RampageSword]

That could happen. It's been years since i last read the man.

Yeah it better happen, I mean, how could one such as you couldn't like Poe? Unless he killed your dog or mother I don't see a good reason.

 

[marduk1507]

Me too. But thats normal, I think he will rediscover Poe later. Its the same with me and Dostoyevski - everybody is like have you read this and that and Im like no, sorry. But I know I will, one day.

 

[Hitori]

the difference is Dostoevsky is brilliant, while Poe is overrated

atm rereading Brothers Karamazov

previously: Magic of Recluce by L.E. Modesitt, Animal Farm by Orwell, and blabbity blab

 

[marduk1507]

Overrated, how I hate that word.

 

[Magrathean]

Animal Farm by Orwell

One of the best books ever. =)

Overrated

I actually kind of like it.

 

[La Rocque]

Manhunt 'the 12 Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer' by James Swanson
