I knew the minute I saw "Bob Dole" upon logging onto Gnet that it would be some stupid fuck. |

This web page rocks but I must ask, is it legal? I'm no expert, but the last I heard Lovecraft was under copyright. My favorite Lovecraft page has been http://www.hplovecraft.com/ and they refuse to list any tales because of copyright. I guess I don't really care if it's legal or not--just wondering. |
i read ulyses of j Joyce and Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal (again!!!!!!)
|
E.H. Gombrich's 'The Story Of Art'. I seriously thought it would be a bit difficult to read, but in the introduction he made it very clear he didn't want to make it over-complex or speak down to people. Which is nice to know.
Tomorrow I'm going to look through my dad's collection of Dickens and pick something out for myself to read. I've been a bit curious after watching a documentary on him. |
Brahm Stoker's Dracula, because I got my own copy finally.
Next, it'll probably be Night Watch. |
I really badly want to read Night Watch (if the poster above meant the russian fantasy/sci-fi story). I've only watched the film, but I'm assuming the book would probably be better.

|
Alan Moore is a fucking genius!!!!
Now I'm reading Che: A Memoir by Fidel Castro. |
Currently enjoying one of Asimov's Robot books.
Next will be The Hunchback of Notradame. |
A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway. Honestly, I wouldn't have started to read this if I didn't have to for English class, but it's not so terrible.
|
Shirley by Charlotte Bronte... I really should be re-reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for my summer reading... *hides from responsible sensibility*
|
Jillian, who wrote that Hyperion book you said you liked? I am off work for a week and want to read it. Was it Dan Simmons? There are so many titles out there with the same name...
|
Precisely Dan Simmons. He also wrote a magnificent horror book called Song Of Khali. Even Stephen King called it horrifying.
|
Dan Simmons is amazing.
I have red only the four books of "Hyperion", unfortunatly. |
Twelve Kingdoms by Fuyumi Ono and a book about Japan.
|
Just started The Alchemist, Paulo Coehlo. So far, so good.

I am reading "Fragments of Olympian Gossip"
By Nikola Tesla. 1920's. While listening on my cosmic phone I caught words from the Olympus blown. A newcomer was shown around; That much I could guess, aided by sound. "There's Archimedes with his lever Still busy on problems as ever. Says: matter and force are transmutable And wrong the laws you thought immutable." "Below, on Earth, they work at full blast And news are coming in thick and fast. The latest tells of a cosmic gun. To be pelted is very poor fun. We are wary with so much at stake, Those beggars are a pest—no mistake." "Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown And turned your great science upside down. Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name, Puts on your high teaching all the blame. Says: matter and force are transmutable And wrong the laws you thought immutable." "I am much too ignorant, my son, For grasping schemes so finely spun. My followers are of stronger mind And I am content to stay behind, Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest. Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup. When is your friend Tesla coming up." "Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late, It would be useless to remonstrate." Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet— I knock and—the bedlam of the street. |
That was awesome.
