i read week to read my next book, which one should i pick: lolita by vladmir nobokov or the screwtape letters by c.s. lewis those are my only 2 choices (books i own that seem relatively quick to read). library isn't an option cos if i can't read the book in a week i have to return it and it'll be unfinished, i hate that. furthermore, i called them to ask if they had a scanner darkly by phillip k. dick, fear and loathing in las vegas by hunter s. thompson, or choke by chuck pahlaniuk and they're 0 for 3. so it's lolita or screwtape letters - what do you think? |

c.s. lewis is great. i'd go with that. i love reading. right now i am reading marquis de sade's 120 days of sodom and a finnish poetry compilation |

i was on vacation. i looked around your city on a saturday morning, all you finns were still sleeping or staying in your country homes. i checked out lots of statues, parks, trails, and a big lake. then i went shopping in your strange underground mall system. |

:D well i just moved away from helsinki, (to the countryside), so i should update my info. but if you like to read i could recommend you some books: the ants by bernard werber eden by stanislaw lem neverwhere or stardust by neil gaiman the mythago wood by robert holdstock i'm not sure about the names though, they might be different in english. |

|
can you tell me a bit about eaccok? i've never heard of any of them, and i've only heard of one of the authors - neil gaiman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eacccok???? sorry, my keyboard keeps messing up. that should've been "each book" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eaccok??? wtf? if you mean of these books. the ants is a brilliant book about, surprise, ants. sounds boring but is not. eden is a weird science fiction book. the mythago wood is s fantasy/science fiction book, quite extraordinary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm a book about ants. it's an adult book tho, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes. really, it's good. try it if it's in your local library :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read some summaries just now of the neil gaiman books, i think i'll read those first of the batch you just mentioned. thanks a lot for your recommendations =) does anyone else have any input on screwtape letters vs. lolita? i'm gonna start reading one of them today so speak now if you've read either.. |

"I meet a christian in christiansands... the devil in Helsinki...." |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
damn. i never met the devil. only some stupid black metal guys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
black metal is huge in finland isn't it? when i was in helsinki they had just had a huge concert the night before and there were all these rivetheads, goths, and punks dressed in black t-shirts and corsets walking around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was probably the TUSKA (pain) festival. black metal is not that huge in finland, usually. it was the climax of the year for them. |

there were some big ugly guys drunk who shouted to us, "hippies! vegetarians!" like that would offend me somehow. |
