Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card This is part of his Ender series... its really good, I love these series of books The book before this one that I read was Wizard and the Glass - Stephen Kind. I hope he finishes the gunslinger series, he promised his fans that he would. This is another good series of books. |

Tariq Ali 'The Clash of Fundamentalisms'. Cool cover: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/1859846793.02.LZZZZZZZ .jpg |

He he Kafka was one crazy guy :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah?? how /why?..? I know he had issues with his father, which fuelled his writing?... i'm no expert though.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
georges bataille is one clever dude though... what a legend. He wrote The Story of The Eye, which is a kinda life changing book. I read a book of some of his essays recently "Literature and Evil" where he talks about Kafka, Emily Bronte etc yeah, its so good. Wuthering Heights is a g00d b00k t00 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He suffered from chronic depression, on of his close friends described him as, "a man who lived his life from behind a sheet of glass." Think he was commenting on how disconnected he was from the world... Is metamorphosis that one about the guy who turns into a stag beetle? |

Meho has been raving to me about this book called the Alchemist. He says it changed his life. Anyone read this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who's it by? I think I've heard of it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yip... It sounds silly if you try to describe it to someone, (its about this guy that turns into a bug....) but he writes real well, intelligently ay.. you read any Georges Bataille? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jonesy, you backstabbing bitch!!!! You can forget about that Mr. Lif Cd I promised. And about those ribbed condoms too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bataille is very good, aye. I have read only "The damned part" but it's is awesome and he influenced a lot of modern theory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri: Jonesy is just trying to discredit me: Alchemist was written by paolo koelo and it is the worst kind of new-age crap imaginable, thus vastly popular in my country, all over south america etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it is well written. Haven't read any Bataille... I've read a couple of philosophy books that have referenced him. |
||||||||

Can anyone recommend any good books introducing existensialism? My dad's reading it at the moment and I want to get him one for xmas. |

Go for Sartre, dude. |

I'm reading the magus by john fowles. i would recommend thomas mann, man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just finished Picasso - Portait of Picasso as a Young Man by Norman Mailer...bloody excellent... now I'm on M by Peter Robb...the story of Caravaggio (yet another painter...)... both highly recommended....especially the mailer one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bill, would you really recommend thomas mann or is it just because his surname is "mann", man? Meho, any particular title? |
||||||||
|
|

i am in the middle of about 3 books, i read a lot of true crime books about serial killers and such one book is about jack the ripper another about ed gein and another about richard ramerirez, i will have to get back to you on the names of the books (because i am to lazy to walk and get them) |

are you familiar with the Mark "Chopper" Reed books from australia? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the only one of his I need to get. What's it like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meho, are you serious about alchemist? that was one of the worst books i have ever read don't know why coelho is so popular really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not bad, I think you'll get into it if you've read some of his earlier stuff, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am seriuos: his books suck and are extremely popular. Jonesy was joking about me liking it (because I expressed my scorn for Koelo in one of our emails). That guy seems to be quite popular in Slovenia too, I know a Slovenian software company that had two scripts for games written by Koelo and also one of his books (Veronica has decided to die) is happening in Slovenia. Those books are popular because they tackle spiritual issues (issues that everyone cares about even if they are unaware) in an extremely simplified and safe way. |

Hidden Connections - Fritjof Capra About a combined theory of consciousness, biology, and society... a bit heavy on the scientific explainations, but well worth a read if you're into that sort of stuff. The Web Of Life is better though... its one of his older ones. |

i am reading a fucking brilliant novel by an australian author, but none of you international pplz would know it. we looked at extracts from it in my creative writing class at uni and it fucking rocked! arnold zable the fig tree beautiful fucking writing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, i havent read your other posts upthere (just read the one by jonesy) it seemed kind of strange that you would like a book like that abot veronika decides to die-i bought this book, i havent read it yet tho, because that alchemist is really shitty, did you read this veronica...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
