'American Psycho' is a winner. . . My favourite book of all time is 'Lolita' by Vladamir Nabokov. It's really funny and quite mind-bending, a bit like a good AFX tune. Incidentally, if anyone out there can get hold of 'Ocean Of Sound' by David Toop then grab it, it's a top book about abstract/experimental/electronic music, and it's got a big chapter covering AFX/Mu-Ziq etc. It also covers Dub, Jungle, Ambient, Industrial, African Tribal stuff. . . |

I reckon it must about five years old now. My mate spilt water all over my copy then put it on the radiator, and it went a mad new shape. Which somehow adds to it. |

On the subject of books about films : I was going to write a screen play for the oxford dictionary. I stopped after about one minute as I realised that the script would lack depth and not many people would go to the cinema to see such a film. |

No Logo's really popular now isn't it? I might get some T-Shirts run off with the book's cover on the front. My mate Barry owns this little sweat shop down in Hackney. You could sell them down the market to students for a tenner... I could make a fortune... |

My favourite book is written by Eric Thomsan and is realeased on Bloomsbury paperbacks, it is called "Dougal and the blue cat" and is about as trippy as putting all the stuff in your house (furniture n stuff) on one side! and crying "ash kalah kebab" |

Chop chop. I will make a song made out of sounds recorded only in a Butchers Shop : 1. Sound of meat being chopped 2. Sound of meat being moved 3. Sound of bull being killed 4. Sound of old woman complaining about price of sausage |

i remember reading 'thief of always' by neil gaiman or clive barker when i was younger. i like that book. 'the regulators' by one of richard bachman (aka stephen king) is also pretty good. i am currently reading 'man watching'. it is a book on human behavior and cultural mannerisms. it has much content and is very informative. another book i need to finish is my book on logic (possibly, it's rather boring) and 'culture against man', a book on how our views can conflict with or agree with what society and media is saying or how it is tricking us. |

silence can't exist?????? i thought that sound was the movement and vibrations of particals, therefore silence should exist in a vacuum. |

C. S. Lewis: Out of the Silent Planet, i guess it would be considered sci-fi, but really its not as much about that as it is about the way mankind behaves Michael Herr: Dispatches Dalton Trumbo: Johnny Got His Gun H.P. Lovecraft: Ex-Oblivione, not a book, its only a very short story, but it is i think his best. |

Favourite book? Books? Let me dodge this question and be scarred on the surface only. So. Favourite authors: Albert Camus, Michael Ende, Osho, Vonnegut, Milton, Blake. Erm, wait, I'm lying. There's a lot more. Don't wanna bore anyone, that's why I stopped listing them. Enough of me already. |

i've read some camus in my humanities class. i believe it was about a prisoner given the choice of incarceration or freedom. interesting story. a teacher in my poetry class said one of my poems reminded him of the writings of camus. i like many philosphers writings. i believe what kierkagard had to say about existence was very intriguing and concept of existential dread and that we fear our own mortality when we realized that we will cease to exist one day. blahbidy blah. all this might get the topic off of subject, so i'll stop. |

Sound can't exist on the moon because there is no atmosphere and thus no air molecules to vibrate causing the sound. However, you are correct, your own body would be able to function as a medium for carrying sound on the moon. I imagine that if you fart in your space suit, the sound would echo back and forth throughout your body forever, not being able to disperse itself into the air. I like a lot of books designed for children, like "someone in the family drinks too much". Also "human evolution" "evolution isn't what it used to be" "the selfish gene", encyclopedias, dictionaries, any non-fiction almost. I didn't like "a brief history of time" by stephen hawking. I found the material full of loop holes, heh heh heh. |

I like Modern Mysticism by Michael Gellert, Timothy Leary is always interesting. No Logo is the next one on my list. Oh and I reckomend Lucid Dreaming by Pamela Ball I am going to be re-reading it this summer holiday and learn to dream propperly. It takes pure dedication and stuff. After 9 months I finally have my own room in the boarding house so it's my next big thing. |

HP lovecraft was very interesting to say the least. I loved a lot of his works..... he wrote some extreemly thoughtful/interesting things in his time. Wow.. he was nutz. I like it. Did anyone ever read about the Mad Arab? The Bible before the Bible?. The nEcrimonicon? Its supposedly true.... it describes events and such, detailed comments on how to enter the 7 gates of hell, and to dispell deamons across the land, I have it somewhere, I actually read it all once and it scared me shitless! Its not the "satanic" bible if you will, nothing like that at all actually. Its just extreemly fucking crazy, I reccomend this to ANYONE with half a brain and a will to try something different. |

Thats the book im talking about, yeah you can search Ebay, or amazon or something for it, im considering it because I can't find my copy, actually this guy I know had it and I took it from him. He was a speed freak/crack head. There is a little shop down on whyte ave. [like the strip, BUSY night life, and BUSY day life down there] called the SANCTUARY which is for goths and weirdo freak people [who can be really nice] and they have many books, I saw it there once, check your local oddity/goth shops! |
