"The lost writings of Jim Morrison"

 

Just finished Gitlin's "The Sixties: Years of hope, days of rage".

Brought out a few facts that I didn't know, but, strangely, I found it lacking in the true driving force of the day.

 

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Brave New World truly does suck you into it, you jsut CANT but the book down, i started it last night for what seemed like only an hour and im just shy of half finished. GREAT book so far.

In ah word, what it iz, HAIR

 

You're like, uh, so deep, like wow.

It's degenerative, selfish, single-minded cats like you who give all potheads a bad name.

 

Doubletalk? You speak newspeak?

I'm reading Nietzsche Contra Wagner now. Pretty much done with it, I've got the complete works of Arthur Rimbaud waiting to be finished when I'm done. Peace.

 

The Handmaid's Tale~Margaret Atwood ...at first it was a summer reading assignment but i actually really like it

I am reading Ian Flemming,Doctor No.Incredible book,much nbetter than the movie!

 

Since I'm leaving for Thailand on vacation tommorrow night, I'm reading a Lonely Planet book about that country, and "The Beach." I have no clue when I'll finish "The Beach."

 

Wow, you all have bad taste in literature. And by bad I mean really awesome. I've just finished Kerouac's "On the Road" and "The Dharma Bums" and I've got the urge to grab a backpack and a sleeping bag and hitchhike across the country. He just does that to me. I heard Desolation Angels is fantastic, but I haven't yet read it. I'm reading Hemingway's "The Green Hills of Africa," Paulo Coehlo's "The Alchemist," and I just finished "The Fairy Tales of Herman Hesse." That was incredibly decent as well. Yay for literacy, this thread really made my day!
