Bukowski, Hot Water Music.

Inspiring. Though I was going to work this night, I just had to get slightly pissed. It's a rather dull part-time work writing abstracts of newspaper articles. Gets a bit funnier when drunk.

Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglas and the rest of Christopher Moore's books.

I finally picked up "Against All Enemies", Richard Clarke's version of the war on terrorism as waged by the last four president's. He's a braggart, but its pretty interesting stuff nonetheless.

which is just the opposite of most of us. we're uninteresting braggarts.

I thought work was beneath you.

I would, but the fucker forgot to print the words to the culling song in the book. What a jip!

i must have an earlier edition.

i've been looking for dubya's number to no avail....

I think the best thing Chuck has ever written is the short story "Guts" that was published in last months Playboy magazine. Apparently, when he read the story aloud at a couple of book signings some people screamed at the top of their lungs and passed out. You can read an exerpt from the story here.

Watch that moving apostrophe! It's a terrorist, and it's now been sighted close to the Oval Office!

Ha!

Little apostrophe fucker's!

There goes another one!

I can live with it, as long as it helps paying my absinthe.

I've been interested in reading that one myself. Anyone who says repubs and demo's both suck is cool in my book.

Do what you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

Jerking off pays now?

Depends on who you are and who's watching I guess.

OK.
You owe me $10.

NOW you tell me.

Lick your lips and pay.

I think I'll check this one out:

The Glass Bead Game by Hesse. Amazingly prescient. I love it that more than 60 years ago, a "futuristic" novel noted that "...lax and unscrupulous intellectual discipline had also sufficed to inflict serious harm on practical life. Competence and responsibility had grown increasingly rare in all the higher professions, including even those concerned with technology."

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

The Dark Tower Series, by stephen king. Just finishing book number four.

It's not nice to lie in your profile!

I just started rereading the Unholy City by Charles G. Finney. Best God damned drinking book ever!

I've been reading the back of the Swizzlé bottle.

I stare mournfully at my empty.

Um . . . I read Landscape Gardening in Japan by Josiah Conder (1893) not long ago . . . vewwy intewwesting. Especially after reading a lot of the modern takes on Japanese garden design. Turns it all on its head, really.

I look at my Sunset Western Garden book and segments of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan a lot. Then I also read the Cienega Creek Corridor Management Plan, that was exciting.

I don't read a lot of fiction. That's what TV is for. Or ABG, but that's gone now.

(Sorry, had to get in my ABG dig before the memory fades of my one visit there, shortly before it collapsed under the weight of flaming sugar cubes and Slakepoems.)

>TAG<

I was not even aware it had gone not -so-gently , into that goodnight!

Thanks for the update!

Bunch of fuckin' idiots.

Some friends gave me a book of short stories by Samuel Beckett for my Bert Day, so I guess I'll be reading that next...

I'm now reading "History of the World According to CRAPSINTHE™". It's most enlightening!






Oh, did I mention that ALL YOUR POSTS ARE BELONG TO CRAPSINTHE™!!!

Yes you did.

Just wanted to be thorough.

I'm surprised Gimpy hasn't or d me for co-opting his schtick!

I'm sure he realizes it's only because I'm drunk and bored. And because CRAPSINTHE™ will help lead the way to FDA legalization of absinthe.

I just read Hollywood Knits.

You don't read that.

Copywrite 1944, my neighbors would love me cranking up one of these in the morning.

You really are Rimbaud, aren't you.

No, he's really:

Dat ain't no Frog, ya lyin' Limey.

Half way through The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp.

I never learned to read.....

It was the biggest surprise of the day two days ago bear. You're a little late. Real life getting in the way of forum life again? Damn.

If Chins could Kill, the autobiography Bruce Campell.

Berlin Noir by Philip Kerr.

That looks damn good, I'll be ordering it shortly.
