News at the moment. namely http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/politics-sponsored-dcortez/10938-shooter-advised-dohbama-transition-new-post.html as far as books go, im reading Manly P. Hallâs âAncient Mysteries Of The Free Masonsâ may re-read William Gibsons âNeuromancerâ next.
@BB1: I loved âThe Chamberâ have you read it?
Re-reading Jackboot The Story of The German Soldier. I have an interest in military history and this book traces the German military from Frederick the Great to WW II. It is a fascinating read. âGentlemen, you have chosen the most wonderful profession on this earth. You have before you the highest aim there can ever be on this earth. We teach you here how to reach that aim. You are here in order to learn that which alone can give the life of each of you its ultimate significance. You are here in order to learn how to die.â The customary address made made by the commandant of Lichterfelde Cadet School to new cadets, aged ten and eleven.

Probably going to start on âUlyssesâ soon, since I havenât read any of James Joyce yet. âSultâ by Knut Hamsen will be my side project.
The Urantia Book. A new age take on life, science, religion, philosophy, life after death etc. Written by unknown authors perpetrating to be spirit beings.Quite contraversial but extremely interesting. If it is true I want to die now lol. Stefan
@ shikitohno: âA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Manâ is good to read before âUlyssesâ. Its sort of a prelude. Its a challenging read on its own, but I found a lot of myself in that book when I was a younger man. I have not yet challenged brave Ulysses.
Iâm reading⌠The art of electronics By Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill Itâs a little bit hectic
Tom Clancy - Sum Of All Fears
Stephen Kings: Under the Dome! The Wiz!
james joyce is my favorite fart sniffer and it"s because he is an amazing writer. I wish I could remember the word I used to use to describe his writing. It basicly means something along the line of reveal the divine through hinting at it through the mundane. The most blatant example of this is in my opnion is the story âgraceâ in dubliners. In my opnion you should start with Finnegans wake it will stretch your brain out, plus itâs one of my favorite all time books. Up there with âThe Atrocity Exhibitionâ for mind bending read time.
Oh Iâam reading the only story in Again Dangerous Visions Iâve not read yet. Great collection for the fan of more adult science fiction (when I say adult I mean deep and meaningfull not porno.)
Bob, you canât do that to me. I was thinking there would be some hot action in there involving a robot and a human. Kidding, of course. When did adult become a byword for gratuitous sex, by the way? Many âadultâ titles seem like the fantasy of a teenage boy, and not the least bit of the intellectual challenge Iâm hoping for when I pick up such a book. Planning on finishing A Savage War of Peace today, as Iâve got little else to do. Next, itâs either Zaregoto, or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Yeah there is a diffrence from adult and adult only. Reminds me of a calvin and hobbes where calvin is looking at list of movies and then says something about how one says it contains adult situations and asks hobbes what that means. Hobbes say it must mean it has things like doing taxs and going to work.
Henry Miller is another good one for finding the wheels and levers for the universe, all while ripping around the brothels of Paris and sleeping hungry on park benchesâŚ
