"Hemingway can suck it." <-- the best quote I've ever seen on Myshitz.cum

Siddhartha takes like a day to read, do that one first so we can finally discuss it.

Haha, I'm going to insult the first person who calls it "buddhism"

What are you reading these days, NADatar?

I finished Lolita a week or two ago and haven't read anything since. I'll read like 20 books and then take a month break, don't know why.

Momz got me some Buchowski, Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut, and... I forget but a few others, for my bday. Probably read A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich first though, I read the introduction a week or so ago but have just been watching movies and pulling the pud as of late.

You will LOVE Cat's Cradle! Is this your first Vonnegut?

I read the first Illuminatus! book this week, pretty cool, lots of homage to Joyce, Pynchon, Lovecraft, etc. Also a bunch of Chekhov for class (that reminds me... I have to read the play "Cherry Orchards" tonight... )

Reminds me, need to read Ulysses dammit.

I've read Player Piano (years ago, could stand to read it again), A Man Without a Country, Slaughterhouse-Five, and... I guess that's it. Vonnegut fucking rules.

I've only read Slaughterhouse-Five and The Sirens of Titan. I really should read more of his.

Read Portrait first, it's pretty much mandatory
