You must have a lot of time on your hands in prison to read so much.

Anyone ever read any Terrance McKenna? I'm considering purchasing his one book that I believe is entitled "Food of the Gods".

You must have a lot of time on your hand to copy and paste your hate for 18 hours a day.

Why do you even come on this thread? We know you don't read.

PEA BRAIN is only in this thread because he likes to follow me around and express his racism and his bitterness at being a loser. All his posts are in response to mine.

I've owned and humiliated him so many times on this board...he knows I have his number.

he's clearly not. the fact that you bring up 'ghetto', 'thug', 'criminal', etc only shows that you are saying it for racist reasons.

For what it's worth, today, April 23rd, is World Book Day. It also marks the deaths of Shakespeare, Cervantes and Wordsworth.

I did not know that. We book lovers need to do something in celebration.  :)

Do you live in the U.K.?

Wine and wife will work on any day. No, I just took it from one book site that I have in my favourites. They update every weekday, so it's pretty good.

Reading Gabrielle Hamilton's 'Blood, Bones, and Butter.' She's a noted chef in NYC and has written a book about her (cooking) life. I know such memoirs are a dime-a-dozen these days, but this one is pretty good, so far.

ADD: Okay. Finished her book. The chapters on her culinary education are awesome. The ones about her marriage, and the subsequent ones of it going into the toilet, are lesser.  B+   Recommended.

Just picked up a copy of Catch 22. Read a chapter and I'm still not sure about it. Very strange book.

Anyone read it?

Sure. That's a 20th century lit classic. Add that one to Slaughterhouse-Five and the absurdities of war/man.

I've read Slaughterhouse 5 and other works from Vonnegut, but this is very different.

The dialogue is pretty absurd. Getting a little easier to read, but still very strange.

Just finished Denise Mina's 'Slip of the Knife.' It's a procedural, set in Glasgow. Plot is stale/contrived, writing is ok, but the protagonist is pretty good: foul-mouthed, dumpy Irishwoman. I've heard Mina has better books out there, but I doubt I'll make the effort.
