hopefully there will be an article in the paper about doom metal noisehat t-shirts so i can start a thread about it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

i am a culprit, aren't i? i promise i won't start a thread about anything i read in the NYT for one calendar year. unless it's really dumb.

andrew: the piano teacher movie is kinda "meh" but there is a blowjob scene that is amazingly uncomfortable/hot.

seconded, ian. though i didn't really find it hot, just unconfortable and slightly embarrassing, like i was watching somebody apply bandages to a self-inflicted wound.

finished freakonomics and now i'm reading bringing down the house

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Mezrich's follow-up to Bringing Down The House is maybe better, I can't remember the title but it involves arbitrage of asian futures markets. pure evil.

douglas rushkoff get back in the box

i quite liked this, as the only 'business' book i've ever read that was actually insightful in any way

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 25 August 2006 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

yeah..im into it..but since its a business book, i get bored with it easily...its been on the desk for a week now..should get back to it and finish it...his last collumn in arthur was utter trash though. sure, he was mostly right, but i expect more smarter things...

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

It is hilarious.

Also got this book called BEERS OF THE WORLD, which is like a coffee table book for people who only ever have beer on their coffee table.

ive heard good things about the warlocks by oakley hall..input anyone?

― bb (bbrz), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

My old man only read Elmore Leonard. He offered "Rum Punch" and "Ryan's Rules" aka "SWAG" as starting points. I read "Ryan's Rules" it has ten rules on how to not get busted doing crime. Note: the protagonists do not follow these rules.

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

still reading:
Rising Up Rising Down - William T Vollman (3,000 pgs to go, yo)
also:
Illuminatus! - Roberts Shea and Anton Wilson (only read 1st book as kid)
45 - Bill Drummond (recently read "The Manual" had to follow up)

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman - Haruki Murakami
new short story collection, not a fan of the translators, but oh well

The Mind of Bill James: How a Complete Outsider Changed Baseball - Scott Gray
not bad, though my expectations were low. found a few typos/grammar problems, maybe i should go into editing?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

How is Rising Up, Rising Down? Other than long.

― John Justen,a ninja slapboxing fajitas out of J. Casablancas dental dam. (johnju, Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:35 (nineteen years ago)

Pretty great. I read the abridgment so I found a "cheap," ($100) slightly damaged copy of the volume set online. Vollman's writing for clarity here, so it's an easy read, despite the length. So far, I read great stuff on Napoleon and Stalinist Russia.

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

just finished Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

how long is the abridgement? i'm too lazy to ask the internet.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

500 pgs.

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

no wait, 750

― Dr. Alicia B. Titsovich (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

wow i'm still reading zola - nana, though i'm almost done (10 pages left). i guess that's what happens when you only read on the train.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

Reading:
-Loos essays for Modern & Post-Modern Architecture
-Vectors and Smoothable Curves, amazing essays by this poet
William Bronk
-William Bronk poetry
-and I just started reading Houellebecq's new book, which is looking to be a stinker so I might drop it

― trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

i love loos! he wrote some crazy essays, huh.
