So anyone in here read those old outdated paper housebrick thingies you find in those old buildings called lye breries?
i read a whole lot, usualy got 3 or 4 novels/textbooks going at once.
im currently reading:
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, not exactly a travel book though its classified in my library as a bottom shelfer or deadly weapon.
Its actualy pretty good, not quite the fountainhead but good none the less.
Myst: The Book of Atrus. Actualy my 7th or 8th readthrough, i love that book, an old 1st edition thats beautifuly bound with embossed hardback and marbled paper. its about a kid whos mother dies at birth and his dad abandons him with his gran in some crack out in the desert next to a volcano where he grows up till he reaches adolescance, then his dad comes back and takes him deep underground to some huge cavern to teach him how to write "worlds" in special books that you link to when you touch them. his dad winds up a nutcase and young Atrus has to escape from him.
The Making of a Stormtrooper, some old textbook from Princeton, i picked it up at a fleamarket cause its cover stood out, a stark red hardback with a swastika.
Its pretty scary in terms of just how much of hitlers rise to power and gathering of an army equates to todays economy.
should unemployment continue i could see another arsehole making it into power and wreaking havok.
Finaly in the bog im reading Old man and the Sea by Hemmingway. Seriously his best work. No single sentance out of place, its the most concise writing ive read. an old man, a young boy and a huge fish. outstanding "dumping" material. (hemmingway is either laughing in his grave or fairly pissed right now)
So whats everyone else reading?
im interested in everything, i just got through reading a couple of textbooks on calculus and fluid dynamics out of sheer lack of material (hence the myst reread)
inspire me to pick up a gem.
