A few of my faves

I think this thread already exists somewhere in the General Discussion forum.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

Nice of whoever made that to remove the SomethingAwful.Com tags, which is where at least 95% of those came from.

DUDE THAT SHOULD TOTALLY BE ON EBAUMSWORLD LOLZ!

Actually a lot of these (like Don't Rape the Baby and Scary Stories), didn't have Something Awful tags. They were from one of the first Photoshop Phridays before the tags were put on.

Now a lot of the Richard Scarry ones HAVE been removed.

I just finished "Snow Crash", but I don't think that's the point of this thread.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Its not.

Its about kaenash being unoriginal.

I'm about to reread the original version of "The Hardy Boys:The Mystery Of Cabin Island."

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

i'm reading "All I really need to know I learned in a state correctional facility"

what if nigger meant kite

I'm simultaneously rereading J.D. Salinger's "Franny and Zooey" and reading the Essential X-Factor Volume One collection, which goes a long way towards explaining my state of mind.

I has a flavor!

I just reread that one a few weeks ago. Stephenson is awesome.

I am a delicate fucking flower. https://beacons.ai/jesskent

Stephenson is amusing, but that's about it. He has a way with words and an interesting imagination for setting, but his characters are a bit trite and 2D. In a novel, I prefer to get more depth from the characters than you can get in a movie -- even the 2.5 hour movies that are popular today. If you don't get that... well... wait for the movie!

I dunno.. "Hiro Protagonist" is a bit.. goofy, yeah, for a name, like he didn't lean too hard on sorting out a name for his "hero... protagonist..." but I found the characters to be very much a product of their environment and therefore, apt for that atmosphere.

And YT is a pretty interesting and yet somewhat harrowing snapshot of post-fucking-everything femininity.

I just reread Stephenson's first two novels. Now I'm reading some crap about reincarnation.

I've been snatching up every Dean Koontz book I can find. Being the D&D dork that I am, I also have been collecting any Forgotten Realms books I come across. I don't buy hardbacks as a matter of course so new releases don't see my shelf, the exception being Robert Jordan's books because I never come across them in paperback until I've already bought the hardback.

I went on a Dean Koontz binge ten or fifteen years ago. In almost every one of his books, he comes up with one really fascinating idea that makes it a fun story to read. Like the one where this guy would be going about his daily life, then he'd look at some stranger and hear the word "lifeline" in his head and know that he had to save that person's life or they would die that day. At one point he had to follow a woman onto a passenger plane knowing that it was going to crash.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I've just bought a book called Gravity's Rainbow because it was on Time's 100 best novels ever list and I needed something to read. I haven't started this 700-page monstrosity yet, but if this thread is still around when I finish, I'll let y'all know.

I bought that in 1996, and finally finished it two years ago. Good luck. Good luck.

Oh and also:

Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" in Three Panels by UnknownEric 8-04-04

physics equations... physics equations... physics equations... physics equations... GRATUITOUS DEGENERATE SEX! ...physics equations... physics equations... physics equations... physics equations...

At least I'll save money if I don't have to buy another novel to read for seven years.

I Finished "the Da Vinci Code" a few weeks back, and i'm almost finished reading "The colour of magic" by terry pratchett (its the first of the discworld novels incase anyones interested)

The following statement its true. The previous statement is false

People of Earth, read those things. Greatest book series ever.

I just finished rereading The Watsons Go To Birmingham - 1963. I wrote a report on that book in middle school and I thought it rocked really hard. Now I actually find mature depth in it, rather than simply being amused by it's strangeness!

It's grime time.

I haven't been reading much recently because I've been driving to work instead of taking the train, and when I have been taking trains I'm usually doing Sudoku or Tsunami puzzles. That said, I just finished the latest Matthew Reilly book, Seven Ancient Wonders (it's no Ice Station but it's better than Scarecrow and Temple) and today I made a good start on Haunted, the new one from Kelley Armstrong (author of the exceptionally good Women of the Otherworld series) and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere is sitting there waiting to be read. Before that... *ponder* ...I can't remember.

Everyone should read this. Cause it's funny.

Huh. I'm now reading a purportedly nonfiction book by Dean Koontz's biographer. It's called Ghost, and it's about the author's creepy experience with... HOTEL MAIDS! No, ghosts. Koontz says it's the best book of its kind he has ever read. I like saying Koontz. Koontz Koontz Koontz.
