Ironically the answer to this cretinisms lies in a book:

The good soldier Svejk.


In case you don't know the book, let me put it this way:
It's easy and incredibly useful/convenient to let dumbasses around you believe you're a buffoon, in order to gain control over something otherwise uncontrollable in ways they can't predict.

Am reading Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.

OLDMANANDTHESEA is oldmeme.

I finished Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. It was fucking grand. That guy was a genius, I really need to get back to "The Devils", I don't know why I stopped half way through.

fap fap fap.

Just finished "Notes on a Scandal" by Zoe Heller. Recommended. Better than the movie, natch.

I read a book on eastern European pastry products recently. Was quite interesting and informative.

Read war of the flowers. By Tad somethingorother. A bit on the :wha?: end of fucked up in some ways but all in all not bad. A bit yanky in the beginning but it redeems itself by only using that as an intro and i dont think it was on purpose i think i am just oversensitive to such things.

I don't know how's the book but the movie's ending felt sooo far fetched Turns from a romantic movie to some thrilla shiut.

something good came out of this thread after all

Read it dewd. IT honestly is a VERY different book. Nothing like anything i have ever read before.

If you're into fantasy, then read "A song of ice and fire" series by George R.R. Martin. Yeah it's a shitload to read, but it's worth it. It's not exactly fantasy, more historic-fantasy, but it's the best damn thing out there. Even you bill, will forget about your lotr(probably). Murakami has some good stuff too, strange but good.

Haha, am I not the one who suggested Murakami to you in the first place?

No, don't think so. I've discovered him recently. What i do remember is recommending you musashi, even though i never got to reading it myself.

Reading Canticle for Leibowitz because I'm so far behind the times. Shit was good, now it's slow, we'll see how the last half goes.

Eh, you have to read Musashi. I think I read it like 3 times in the past 5 years. Best book ever.

Haruki Murakami is really great. I have all his books

And you gotta read the ice and fire. Or atleast the reviews and then decide for yourself. Do you know where i can d/l? Cuz i'm sure you understand that i can't go and buy it at a local store..

I shall look into it, i know a guy who seems to be setting up a bloody library of fantasy.

I recently picked up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Fear">Kingdom of fear</a> and dare say that it's worth a read. A must read it is actually.
