| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 1:15pm - the_reverend ""] did you read other vonnegut like breakfast of champions or cat's cradle? I don't know danielewski.. but if you like vonnegut, try tim robbins. the book still life with woodpecker or half asleep in frog pjs, whatever you do stay away from even cowgirls get the blues.. that book sucked so bad. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 1:15pm - the_reverend ""] oh and the davinci code sucks for the first 50-70 pages and then after that rocks. it starts moving very fast. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 1:16pm - christraper ""] I usually dont have time to read exept when im on the toilet and its usually something by HP Lovecraft or Aleister Crowley. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 1:29pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy... short but immensely sweet The Star Rover by Jack London is very good Mythago Wood is another good book Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is awesome |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 2:13pm - tbone_r ""] i liked animal farm and black mass |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 2:15pm - the_reverend ""] snowcrash by niel stephenson? |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 2:15pm - swamplorddvm ""] I usually don't read actual books. I read mostly MAD mag (the best) and Discover mag, National geographic and the back of the coco puffs box. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 2:20pm - El Justin ""] angels and demons (davinci code guy) rules... really interesting theories on science and religion im reading some hp lovecraft compilation now... it's definite nerdery but it rocks |

Fuckin hilarious!!!! I forget who wrote it but if you go to a barnes and gnoble or borders theyll find it for you in the scifi section. Definitely worth checking out. Its way funnier than hitchhikers! |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 5:07pm - MarkKevorkian ""] Apocalypse Culture Vol. 1 + 2 |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 5:20pm - lady_czerach ""] anything written by Neil Gaiman. I'm just finishing up American Gods and I don't want it to end! Neverwhere is a good one to start with, though. |

Its way funnier than hitchhikers! >> have u heard of the television serious called Red Dwarf? Its probably based on the book, THAT is fucking hilarious |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 6:06pm - BornSoVile ""] last two books I read were Dude, Where's My Country - Michael Moore Beyond Good and Evil - Nietzsche Moore's new book was really really good. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 6:41pm - MarkKevorkian ""] Michael Moore is a self important, bloated, pinko, socialist. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 6:45pm - BornSoVile ""] That's why I like him. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 6:54pm - MarkKevorkian ""] Fair enough. Carry on |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 8:54pm - dreadkill ""] my friend had a book called "you are worthless", which seemed pretty interesting from what i read of it. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 9:51pm - dunwich ""] I enjoyed reading The House of Leaves. The way the format ties in with the story was clever but some of it seems a little gimmicky in retrospect. I know that he had a collection of letters from the book published but he hasn't done anything else to my knowledge. The last book I finished was "The Harlot by the Side of the Road" by Kirsch. I don't normally like detective/mystery novels but I've been enjoying Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 10,2004 11:26pm - anonymous ""] "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey is actually rather good. As said before, anything by Gaiman is awesome. |
