There was a good reason for the two copies, I just don't remember what it was.

Let me know if you remember.

And Peeps, can you please post the title and author.
I definitely want to check that one out.

Seriously?

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, so yes please.

I keep a large collection for just that reason.

You may know someone who can get them autographed.

And where can these two men (or more) be found?

Don't show it to the Brit, though.

Brits are already fucked up badly enough; messing with their mind is cruel (and dangerous, though I suppose that may actually sound attractive to you).

A couple of male friends reassured me that the only thing that would prevent men's masturbation was removal of the penis. (After some debate, they agreed that if they had no hands, they would still find a way to rub against something.)

Abby, if you must, it is Warren Farrell's The Myth of Male Power: Why Men are the Disposable Sex.

I admit I have a sickening eagerneess to get to the part that describes why homosexuality was condemned. Apparently, man love is universally tempting to men, but against women's financial interest. Fascinating stuff.

I can certainly use the laugh, Peeps, thanks.

And Six, you bet your Belgian arse.

Your spelling of "arse" simply brings tears to my eye.

Welcome ot the civilised world.

I think Abby gave Sixer a chubby.

And apparently a case of temporary dyslexia.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World

Reading "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" by Christopher Moore. Before that it was "The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove" (same author).

I'm tellin' ya-
Read anything
by Michael Chabon.

A Wild Sheep Chase. Not Murakami's best but it includes a character known only as the Sheep Professor.

Anna Politkovskaya-- A Russian Diary.

Erica Jong: Fear of Flying

The Yiddish Policemen's Union.
More Michael Chabon.

I'm tellin' ya, the fucker
can write like nobody's
bidness.

"Practical treatise of distilling spirit from corn, i.e. mashing, yeast formation, preparing podmłoda*, hołowica** to get from 120 litres 44 litres of corn, 38 litres of rye, from 120 litres of malt-20 liters of corn spirit at 67% vol" by Romuald Piątkowski, Lwów 1834.

It is very small, not even a book, woulda say booklet, but interesting reading which I like to have a look at from time to time.

*product of fermenting and drying of flour

** have no idea how to translate it.

I'm also waiting for "Causae et Curae" (in German) by St. Hildegard, I have only some Polish excerpts from her works.

What I want to read, when I get time:

What Liver should read:

Heard that...

As long as there's
enough $$, I don't
mind having a fuck
off job.

Not the case here.

Zielinski? We are everywhere. Don't want to scare ya, but who knows that Pierre Ordinaire, was not Piotrek Ordynat long before?

That's the problem with writing books for the overworked.

And overwrought.

I have also read for first time "Das "Speyerer Kräuterbuch" mit den Heilpflanzen Hildegards von Bingen". Eine Studie zur mittelhochdeutschen "Physica"-Rezeption mit kritischer Ausgabe des Textes by Barbara Fehringer.

Fascinatin' work, when I finish its analysis I might arrive at the oldest vermouth recipe predating the one from Torino ( which was circa. 1786).

Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China.

Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity

Maria Tatar, Lustmord: Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany.

Thordis Bjornsdottir and Jesse Ball, Vera & Linus.

Infinite Jest.

Lots of legal documents.

John Crowley, The Solitudes.

Still Infinite Jest (hey, it's a big book)
and more estate stuff showed up today.

You'll be getting that stuff for a couple of years to cum.

I'm starting to run
into ones I call and
they say:
"Well, we are processing
your account still, but since
you called I'll do that right
now."

Fuckers.

And my brother is a
piece of work as well.

read: since you're on the phone i'll actually do my fucking job, bro!

i'm bein' learnt about - "falconry- care, captive breeding and conservation" by jemina parry-jones

That's gotta be extremely
interesting.

Those central asians
who hunt w/golden
eagles always get me
goin'.

Like these guys?

I have a large, ornery parrot who has punched a hole in my ear and slashed my fingers. I can't imagine the patience (read 'scarring') required for eagle training.

they're pretty strict about hunting and fishing and especially falconry here in VA . from previous research i discovered that you must pass a state given test with a score of 80% or more to even be given an apprentice permit. no matter what level (apprentice, general or master) you can't have a golden eagle or any bird of prey on the endangered species list which is fine by me, the "raptors" i really like are red tail hawk, peregrine falcon and great horned owl of which the redtail is the one i can have as an apprentice.

This reminds me that just the other day on the way to my Mother's place I saw a vulture on the side of the road pulling at the carcass of a squirrel. This is in the burbs in Virginia Beach. I've never seen one of these on the ground around here -- a pink-skin headed vulture! I had to slow down and check it out.

Um, it's the mayor.

Now that you mention it, there was a resemblance!

He's not due here 'til Saturday though.

Did the squirrel have
a side o' frites?

That was actually kinda
funny Scxhnitty.
