[MARS]

Nothing.

[leroybrown]

Haven't posted here in a while..

I finished Carl Jung's "The Undiscovered Self."

I'm re-reading an American history book and I'm casually reading Dune. I don't often read fiction, but Dune is a fun read so far.

The Luzhin Defense by Vladimir Nabokov

Norroen, do you go to a library, or do you buy books? You go through books really fast.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Norroen, do you go to a library, or do you buy books? You go through books really fast.

For one thing, I have a pretty good personal home library I go on supplying it with new books, which I buy with extreme pleasure I also use electronic library resources because some of the books I need have not been published for years and are quite difficult to obtain in their real-life versions I also borrow study literature and sometimes fiction from the University library
Yeah, that's true I am a pretty fast reader Sometimes I read two books at a time

[adamflint]

Nothing. What I would be reading, if I could get my damn hands on it, would be Artemis Fowl and The Atlantis Complex. They don't seem to sell it in Prague and I'm too lazy/stupid/stupidly impatient to buy it over the interwebs.

Finished The Luzhin Defense by Vladimir Nabokov
Started An Evening with Claire by Gaito Gazdanov

[ch00_bakka]

Dhalgren by Samuel Delany. Weird book. I'm about 200 pages in and I still haven't detected a plot.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Finished Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Started The Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov. I suppose Leroybrown will find it of interest, as it deals with the life of Gulag inmates.

[MARS]

You are the fastest reader ever.
I'm trying to start Infinite Jest again. It's a hard book to read.

No not yet. A friend got me Poe's complete anthology for christmas and I've mostly been reading the Poetry. Of the stories I've only read Metzgerstein and The Black Cat.

Yay He is pretty awesome. There is a short film adaptation of the Pit and the Pendulum, you can watch both parts on youtube

The Dante Book Club by Matthew Pearl.

And still trying to get through The Infernal City. Good heavens is that a painful read.

[MARS]

Read it last night in fact. Creepy stuff.

[Hadrianus]

Civilization and its Discontents, Sigmund Freud

Finally, I have some time to read. Well not really, I really should be at school, but Im ignoring the guilty sense in the back of my head...

[MARS]

The murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe.

[Hadrianus]

Finished Civilization and its Discontents.

I do enjoy psychoanalysis, but much prefer philosophy of a more existential nature. But I do recommend this one

[MARS]

Finished The Murders in the Rue Morgue.

An Orangutan...wow

A 60 page script that I have nail in 2 weeks. Worst part about it, I'm playing a Priest, even though I'm an Atheist.

[nyk45]

I thought parts that have nothing to do with you were the most fun to play?
