Hey, I liked Number of The Beast. It was good in a realy stupid way. Kind of like Job:A Comedy of Justice, I think it was one of his hobbies, writing stupid books in between serious ones.

Number of the Beast had a neat premise, but it didn't have an ending. They just end up at a party with Jubal Harshaw from Stanger and that's it. Crap.

I like just chilling out outside in the rain with an umbrella and a book while looking at some trees

I'm re-reading American Psycho again and a bit of Hagakure and I'll probably start some Iain Banks or Vernor Vinge book later.

I'm reading Roddy Doyle at the moment because I'm really just a cheap copy of atoga.

I can't find High Fidelity anywhere and it pisses me off.

That's a realy great movie. Somehow, I never stopped to consider it might also be a book(unless you accidently posted in the wrong topic).

No, it's Roddy Doyle. Hence why I brought it up. IT'S ALL CONNECTED, PEOPLE.

What Roddy are you reading, Spazmo?

The Commitments is bloody amazing. I didn't know High Fidelity was Roddy Doyle. Are you sure, Darryl?

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Fri Jan 28, 2005 3:38 am

Er, never mind. I was thinking of Nick Hornby.

Okay than. High Fidelity was amazing. I want to have John Cusack's (sp?) baby, or at least adopt one in his good name.

The Van, and it's funny because they're Irish (lol)

Shouldn't you be screaming about gay oppression. I have a credit card and I don't even have a job.

Aside from that, I'm reading Lost Cities and Ancient Mysteries of South America by David Hatcher Childress. Its not bad if you have some backround knowledge in the subject and can pick out his own personal biases.

Still reading Murakami and Van Gulik.

I'm reading Catch-22. And not Pride & Prejudice.

I should finish Catch-22 sometime. I keep stopping part way through and doing something else and forgetting about it.

It's sitting in my next book pile.

Mandalorian FaLLouT GoD · Thu Feb 17, 2005 6:15 am

I've decided to re-read American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I fucking love that book.

Read Sandman by any chance? I know it's a comic, but it's still pretty fantastic. He also wrote Good Omens with Pretchett, terrific comedy.
