What are you guys reading?

I've been reading a book about ancient Egypt.

 

Ancient Egypt. -Osiris

 

I'm not sure who BraveSirRubin is but the more and more he post the more and more i believe he's an ignorant asshole. or atleast a little judgemental, as far as reading goes it depends on the mood sometimes i want something light. other times i want something on the occult....or quantium physics, i suggest you all read the lady and the alabaster jar if you can find it. it's interesting about the blood line of jesus and some scripture collections that suggest he and Mary Magadalene did have a child. i can't back up it's facts as some of the books it references are very hard to find.

 

At the moment I'm reading the Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho, and also Human Rights and Gender Violence - Translating International Law into Local Justice.

 

Long Strange Trip....by dennis mcnally

 

I'm awaiting my next book in the mail. Ordered the thing same time as the rest and it's still not here.

 

I cant say I like Paulo Coelho, but I only read The Alchemist and it was kinda blah.

 

Musashi is an amazing it's about a samuri's journey to find himself in Fuedal japan.

 

You should give him another try definitely. I read the Alchemist and thought it was ok but nothing amazing. Then I read Veronica Decides to Die and after that The Pilgrimage and I realized that I quite like his work actually. Not mind-blowingly amazing but I enjoy it anyway.

 

im reading moloka'i and **** both extraordinary.

 

Read anything by Chuck Palaniuck MAN he's amazing. Choke is probably his best.

 

I wish some, or any, of you would occasionally visit the book forum. I love reading but the book forum here kills me. It has such wonderfully insightful threads as, "Animal Farm, I love it." It's dying, please save a forum.

BTW, at the moment I'm re-reading Ape and Essence by Huxley and a couple of books for kids in Thai that are proving to be quite a fucking challenge.

 

I'm reading Henry David Thoreau's Walden. It was given to me five or six years ago as a gift from a bohemian lady of 50. Inside the cover she wrote "food for thought". I began reading it after she gave it to me but knew instantly that I wasn't ready for the book.

I think my head is in the right place now so I'll no longer let sleeping pages lie. I'm excited.

 

NICE how is that Huxley book i LOVED Brave New World

 

I'm just giving you a hard time.

But it's only because I don't like you.

 

Ohhh you don't like me thats a reaction, where as myself i am totally indiffrent to you.

 

It's amazing. I've read it before but happened to come across a copy of it in the library. It's one of his less well-known books and mixes a lot of poetry inside an actual story. It does portray another type of dystopia, simailar to BNW, but is more a logical discussion of religious beliefs. Worth reading.

Have you ever read his last novel. Island? His utopia unveiled. It's one of the books that helped shape my perception of te world.

 

George Orwell - The Road to Wigan Pier, 12 teachings of buddhist masters and Sarte - The age of reason.

Rubin and Hellvis, thanks for the entertainment.

 

No a friend just turned me on to Huxley a few months ago, we were talking about Palaniuck and his twisted views and somehow we got on DNW, so i borrowed his copy and DEVOURED IT.

 

Good. I find it difficult to be indifferent, it's just not a natural reaction of mine. In real life I do my best to avoid people like you. When you appear at a forum I frequent, then I cannot avoid you... so the natural reaction is to dislike you. Who knows though, maybe I'll grow some kind of liking for you, just like one may grow a liking towards a cancerous growth in their anus... finding sweetness within the warty caresses of death.
