I'm into sports history, so I'm reading the Roberto Clemente book that came out last year. I'm about 130 pages into it so far.

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
cate, you're nuts! crime and punishment changed my life... convinced me to major in literature, among other things.
i could well be nuts conor. but i'm not reading it for pleasure. i'm reading it for uni. i find it hard going cause right now in my life it's not a book i would have chosen to read. our prof tears it apart so much it loses any appeal. and i am not thrilled with raskolnikov finding redemption. but that's just my atheist views finding fault with religion. plus raskolnikov just annoys me.
i enjoy it well enough, but i'd have preferred to come to it on my own. but the brothers karamazov, the idiot and the rest will have to wait a while.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
The new Nirvana Biography.
I like all the stories, true or not about K.C. Little things, like Kurt pissing his pants on the way to a Sammy Hagar concert or how he and his first live-in girlfriend both had pet rats and thats how they got together. Mostly just how wack he was. I mean he was a nut.
Matt Lukin from the Melvins is mentioned a lot.
Not a must read, I wasn't a big Nirvana fan, but I certainly wanted to see what Pearl Jam references where in there. Will post again if I read anything worth noting.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
What? but I never got to go to the dancing dooly's with you? :( Enjoy Halifax..like that is hard to do
g'bye? Are you not coming back to the pit either?
Well this lazy butt has to get to work
I'll be around the pit, but my utilities are disconnected...today sometime...
How I'll miss that Dooly's...sniff sniff. And all the super Neons and Cavaliers...the townspeople will make them fly yet!

Well like any utility company I am sure they will be right on time :rolleyes:
I am sure you will miss that Amherst.. I miss it just thinking about it.. those super Neons with the bass pumping.. good times.

And the spoilers...obviously necessary to prevent liftoff.
Well we'll see how things go. I'll be pretty bored all weekend without cable or internet to occupy my time. I might have to go watch the 16 year old bust a move at Dooly's after all.
i've been on such a Nelson DeMille kick lately....
after reading all the John Corey books backwards, I have finally begun "Plum Island".... I do not think anything will top the "Lion's Game"
I got his one about the real plane crash where they thought it was shot down. I can't remember the name of it but it was a good, fun read. I think I read the whole thing in 3 days!

i think maybe i relate to raskolnikov more perhaps... im one arrogant son of a bitch
Just started on a classic: Adventures of Huck Finn by Mark Twain.
Quality. I'm gonna teach that muthafucker to Korean kids. They may find the colloquialism's hard to grasp but it's a story that should grip any kid. I've got a dvd of it which I'll play em aswell.
Don't you have a date tonite? Or is it tomorrow?
I am glad to hear that you were not mad.
I was not making fun. I think you are cool.
It's tomorrow. What time should I expect you to come over and do my makeup?? I gotta impress him, he's a 10Clubber (and no, he doesn't post on the Pit).
P.S. You're cool, too!

From what I can tell....you are raring and ready to go!

i just hated the way he was trying to justify his act. but i think perhaps that was the point of the book. to show that NO ONE is above the morality of the society in which they live, no matter how extraordinary they think themselves to be. and that one can only find salvation in God. or some shit like that. i could be wrong of course.
though i did like the raskolnikov/sridrigailov juxtaposition.

I am into book 3 of the Gap series by Stephen Donaldson. This one is called "The Gap Into Power: A Dark and Hungry God Arises". I've never read any science fiction before this series which was thrust upon me by a good friend, and so far I am grateful as I'm loving it. Some parts have been quite dark and disturbing, with the author having the ability to make you despise characters in one book only to make you feel a little sorry for them in the next, and so far I haven't been able to put it down.

REALLY?! YOU?! And a lawyer at that?!
If you like that, then read Peter Matthiessen's 'In the Spirit of Crazy Horse'.

shocking isn't it?
im going to do a james cain double feature after i finish 2 of my finals:
double indemnity
postman always rings twice
Is it good? I read 3 Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger and thought it would be really good, but I didn't like his writing style at all.
How's your kissing situation, btw? She still suck (no pun intended)?
I am glad to hear that you were not mad.
I was not making fun. I think you are cool.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

much improved. i think things are going to turn out ok.
Has anyone read the new Lee Iacocca book, "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" I really want to read it.
i just hated the way he was trying to justify his act. but i think perhaps that was the point of the book. to show that NO ONE is above the morality of the society in which they live, no matter how extraordinary they think themselves to be. and that one can only find salvation in God. or some shit like that. i could be wrong of course.
