||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

|
It's Patrick Bateman =oD |
||||||||
|
|

The character from american psycho,played by Christian Bale in the movie.Excellent book,worth reading if you`ve got the chance,very funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's good, but I found it to get tiresome about ½-way through. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok you got your answer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know what you mean,its over descriptive,but thats also what makes funny.Like 5 pages of him describing his beauty regime,it can be too much.But it is a very funny book,I would recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, I found it a case of The Good points about it eventually becoming The Bad points :) I had the same problem with Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, which I loved until I encountered PAGE AFTER PAGE of furniture/fashion descriptions |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HeHe,nicely said[the good points also are the bad points].I`ve never actually read any Oscar Wilde,maybe one day I`ll get round to it [like alot of things in my life :D ]. You remind me of someone[but I wont say who].:) |
||||||||

I'm reading a biography on Oscar Wilde right now - interesting - His pappy was a famous Doctor visited by Royalty. |
||||||||

All hail the new improved version! <------------- Btw, I was reading Psycho again today (I try to read it every couple of months) and totally got taken by surprise by the poem he writes for his ex girlfriend Bethany, I forgot all about that. I pissed myself laughing, fair dos.... |

I need to pick up Harry Potter II, or IT I don't know =oz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what was it? I can't remember |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
POTTER!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can't print it here cause it's racist and taken out of context could offend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's wrong with the psychos left eye? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's just a shadow... due to the small size required on here it makes gifs kinda hard to make out sometimes. By the way, I have this avatar not only cause it's my favourite book, but also cause the chap in question (Christian Bale) was born a few miles up the road from me! Coolies |
||||||||
|

|
|
did you just say coolies ! lmao mail me the poem puh-leeeeeeeeease |

Hello welsh cunt,hehe,you read it every couple of months,that cant be healthy.Have you picked up any Patrick Bateman trates? :D Saying that though,i might actually read it again--I`ve only read it once and that was a few years ago,so theres a lot I`ve forgot.Still,its much better than the film.:) outside_ninja if I was to read any Oscar Wilde,what would you recommend first ? I get paid tomorrow,so I`ll probably pick up a couple of books. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's your favorite book?! you sick fucker! actually i think it's a great book as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everytime I read the book I become Patrick Bateman. My whole attitude changes, it's quite weird... But it's just the funniest thing I've ever read. Everytime he does the banshee thing I crack up.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LMFAO !!!!!!!! Poor disturbed Patrick hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm I dono - maybe the Picture of Dorian Gray, because, aside from the sudden influx of description half way through, it's excellent :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jarworski Im sure we`ve all thought like that,but then again I may just be mad. outside_ninja if I see it I`ll pick it up,and maybe the book of thoth.:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I feel the same way everytime I read Crime And Punishment by Dostoyevsky - I BECOME Raskolnikov when I read it. mccabe: hehe :þ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D Did you see the programme they made of crime & punishment[it was on BBC2 a while back],I only seen the first half,but I was completely shocked[considering how old the book is],when the woman offers herself to him and he sticks an axe in her head.Pretty brutal,hehe I wish I seen the other half,but I was working at the time:([bastard,bastard,cunt etc.]hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm afraid I didn't see it1 :( How was it? Gritty and Dark? Violent? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was Gritty,Dark,Well made,Superbly acted and that scene was pretty brutal[as I wasnt expecting it]what got me was the fear in the woman[screaming etc.]and she lifts up her skirt in a bid to save her life,but he sticks the axe in her head anyway.I hope they show it again so I can see it all,I might actually leave Oscar Wilde and buy this book,thanks for reminding me cause I thought about buying it after seeing this.Not what I expected. |

It's just about my favourite book -- His just about my favourite author... After that, read The Idiot, THe House of the Dead, and The Brothers Karamazov... Dostoyevsky was actually sentenced to death as a young man, which was commuted to Hard Labor in a Siberian Penal Camp (The House of the Dead is loosely based on this). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah,I`ll pick it up tomorrow when I go up to glasgow,I already knew a bit of history on Dostoyevsky,but nothing of his work.The only place I think I`ll get the book of thoth is in tower records[I remember seeing his stuff under the occult section,makes you laugh doesnt it,hehe].Youre a fountain of knowledge :) Do you recommend any philosophy books?I still cant find the book of five spheres by miyamoto musashi[think thats his name]glasgow`s pretty limited in the books I like :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crime And Punishment, The Idiot and Notes From The Underground are all on textz.com. I'll be making eBooks of those shortly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I`ll have a look,but I prefer buying books[adds to the collection]as I find it easier-and reading off a monitor hurts my eyes after a while[I dont have a printer either:( ]. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hear you, but I'm running out of room for books!!! My collection grows by ten like every week. Plus I don't have a problem with reading on a monitor for hours... I can put in like over 15 hours a day reading off this thing... =oD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I`ll have a look for some of the japanese philosophy books,which I cant get,hopefully they have them.I`ve got hundreds of books lying around,im running out of room for my books/videos/dvd`s/games/cd`s/records.Its amazing how much shit you accumalate over the years.:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didnt get up to Glasgow today,slept in & was working at 3,so had a look in town.They didnt have crime & punishment[pretty shocking that they wouldnt have such a classic book]but they had The Brothers Karamazov,so bought that instead.Looks like it will be quite a hefty read :),but I think it will be worth it. |
