| ______________________________ [Jan 8,2009 10:38am - Yeti ""] [img] as much gayness as this book is associated with, when i was like 13 this really did change the way i looked at everything. i just removed the whole "Satan" thing and applied it to actual life. |

[img] This is a spoken word album, not a book, but it should be a book. [img] This didn't change me, I haven't even read the whole thing, but Seth and I are characters in it. I force some kid to take acid through his eyeballs or something. #10 would be Notes From The Nest by Kurt Brecht (DRI) but I couldn't find a picture of it. |

Anyone can fuck, try making every woman 100% happy sexually... Why would I want to make a woman sexually happy? I only care about me getting off with a nutter butter on her face and kicking her out the door. Now that is happiness which I utilize often. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 8,2009 4:51pm - the_reverend ""] I was hoping he would re-write andromeda strain. looks like that aint happening. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 8,2009 4:56pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i agree the plot was great but there was too much medical and technical jargon. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 8,2009 5:02pm - the_reverend ""] WRONG. I wanted him to re-write the ending. If you don't remember, 300+ pages and he wrote the end of the book in 8 pages. It was due to pressure from his publisher. |
