Kill Whitey.

I'm reading Snow Crash right now. Now that cyberpunk isn't trendy anymore, I figure it's worth a look.

---
I was gonna send a robot back in time, but I got high.

Snow Crash is an excellent book. i think you'll like it.

---
Kill Whitey.

I just finished up Purgatory, and am currently finishing up Paradise in Dante's Inferno. Although I liked Hell the best.

the kid's getting old, the kid's getting old

I'd like to know why none of the sword fighters in Snow Crash are using rapiers, since they're fighting unarmored opponents.

---
What others say about boorite!

In the future, rapiering your opponent is considered bad form.

'Cause then they'd be rapier fighters and that just sounds gay.

1000 Years of Solitude

obscenity filter is off

I'm in the middle of the LotR trilogy, since I realized it had been about 10 years since I last read them. I'm also reading the Silmarillion, but it's not gripping me...

I got sidetracked from that when I saw the library had vols 1-3 of the Cartoon History of the Universe. That's some good stuff.

"Only things I approve of should exist." -some guy on the internet

The Sirens of Titan after Slaughterhouse-Five, and before Player Piano, Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and Mother Night, assuming I can keep renewing that shit. It's a volume.

Shit? Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, willis? That man is sheer genius.

When you're done with Slaughterhouse, start up a thread for the huge number of Vonnegut fans here by telling us what you thought.

“It is only with the heart that one sees rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1945)

and so i can use the "Vonnegut high" pun 2 or 3 hundred times

what if nigger meant kite

"Tarzan the Terrible"

Which is the sequel to Tarzan the Untamed (wherein Tarzan wantonly kills some WWI German ass).

In this book he goes searching for Jane in a previously undiscovered land in which meat-eating stegasaurs ("gryfs") terrorize the population of very-hyphenated-named non-human humanoids with tails. Yes, this land was previously undiscovered because it is separated from the rest of Africa by a terrible, terrible swamp.

Yeah, they crossed an ocean to discover the new world, but a swamp?

Stupid, entertaining, fun.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

I'm reading Snow Crash; but not because of this thread.

It's because of Bigfoot, isn't it?

---
What others say about boorite!

I need to reread that, but first I have to get through the massive pile of books I've built up. I've added more and yet, only completed two and a half.

How did you know?

I just finished rereading "The Hardy Boys:The Tower Treasure" and will next reread either "The Hardy Boys:The Secret Of The Old Mill" or "The Hardy Boys:The Missing Chums."

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.
