When is there enough mansex for you?

Anyways, read Alan Dean Foster's The Man Who Used The Universe. It was damn good.

You've been reading for a month and you're only halfway through? Do you suffer from ADD?

Takes me months to read a book so STFU. I like to understand every word the author is saying.

I usually only read on the bus, or before bed. The rest of my day is filled with school and...y'know, life. Or something.

You mean posting on dac.

Have you seen the movie. [spoiler]Someone takes some drugs![/spoilers]

You fucking bastard.

No, but I will. I heard it sucked balls.

Much like yourself.

Le Morte d'Arthur by Malory omg kekekekekekekeke

I'm reading a shitload of books:
-Stranger in a Strange Land
-Starship Troopers
-Dune Messiah
-Midshipman Hornblower
and last but certainly not least,
-Ariel. Yeah, yeah, it has unicorns in it, but post-apocalyptic unicorns that swear and shit. That's cool. It's a great book that's almost totally unknown. Next time you're in a store, pick it up. You won't regret it.

I read all but the last 50 pages or so of Starship Troopers in a week and I haven't touched it in like a month. I liked it, I don't know why I haven't finished.

Is Stranger in a Strange Land good? I read the concept and it didn't appeal to me right now, but I'll probably come around.

It's unbelievably fucking good. Heinlien(sp?) is one of my favorite writers, he's so versatile. He can write straight-up sci-fi action novels (ST), deep, thouhghtful commentarty (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) and fucking hilarious dialouges (The Cat Who Walks Through Walls). Highly reccomended author.

dont you get confused reading that many books at once?

Heinlein is a gold mine of great novels, but stay away from the stuff he wrote later in his life when he went insane or something, particularly Number of the Beast. That book is a huge disappointment because it starts with a great concept but starts to wander halfway through and completely fizzles by the end.

The advice is greatly appreciated, Spaztronic.

I'm reading Roy Lewis's The Evolution Man, which is hilarious.

No, I read one book one day, the next the other day and such. It's a great way to work through a bunch of books, especially if it's for school or such.

Spazmo - What about The Cat Who Walks Through Walls? I thought that was written pretty late in his life, but was excellent, imho.

Just started reading Idols of Perversity : Fantasies of Feminine Evil in Fin-de-siècle Culture by Bram Dijkstra.

IIRC Number of the Beast was his last novel, and I guess he was totally insane at that point.

Probably. I thought it was the best thing to read after Sade's La Philosophie dans le boudoir.
