Great stuff. A real eye-opener.

You should give it a try, Mazzy

i've read it. i liked it but it didn't really open my eyes. most of my atheist friends hate him. i liked his mini-series based on the book though.

i'm reading a book called discourses of brigham young by john a. widtsoe. i don't agree with mormonism but it has a lot a things about god and christ that i agree with.

i gotta get my hands on The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum.

i read a little about it and it sounds sick.

[Fireal1222]

im sure i already posted it somewhere in this thread


but i believe the last book i read in full was "goosebumps: attack of the mutant" when i was like 12



that book was great. by the way


anyway. the latest reading ive been doing  is usually in a high times. or studying different types of philosophies on life

[yoda on mars]

the last thing I read was THE HAMMER OF GODS: LED ZEPPELIN HISTORY.

[ChickdelaLynch]

I read The Average American Male all last night. It's a really great book despite being dirty as hell. At points you feel bad for the guy, and at other times you think he's just a misogynistic asshole.

Anybody read "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy? the book kicked ass, imagine "The Stand" only bleaker

That book is amazing.  Seriously one of the only books I've ever read that I had trouble finishing.  They just made it into a movie, can't remember if it's a short film or full length, but just was shown at a film festival.  Ketchum is one of my favorite authors, very realistic and raw.  Let me know what you think.

Check out "The Gay Science" by Friedrich Neitzsche. It will change your life if your willing to put your vows to rest.

haha i should have figured you'd already read it...a book like that

they've made a movie based on the book. the few reviews it's been getting, so far, have been really good. sounds like they're staying true to the novel.

Lol, yeah of course I've read it.  If they stay true to the novel it'll be one hell of a movie.

I recently finished After Dark by Haruki Murakami. I loved it. Everytime I read a book by him, it always relates to my life at that moment and that creepy. I love his style of writing.

Next I'm reading Slaughterhouse Five. Never read it. Excited.
