Like I said, I tried it once at 16 because my mom wanted to see if she could do it, and on that day, she realized she can't.

Welcome to the board su x*. Glad to know that as a newbie you have something to contribute, and aren't one of the hundreds that join just to say "Who here LOVES Sonic Youth?!?" :) |
Quote:
no, im flattered |
SONIC LIFE!
there is NOTHING wrong with someone joining this board to proclaim to all the cyber world that they love the greatest musical group of the last 30 years!!!! |

I guess not, I can be somewhat cynical in my old age of 24. I guess the annoying people should be the ones who join but never say anything, just so they can get free stuff out of the Sonic Sharing section. Not that there is much there anymore, but it's not like they know that. Ok, now back to books! Books, books, books! |
I'm starting on Post Office tonight...
|
why is the literacy thread about phalluses, drugs and unnecesary-ness of schooling
and the illiteracy thread about books i think i'll read post office |

Bukowski is my favorite American writer. You can really do no wrong with Hank. He is the man that convinced me poetry did not have to be convoluted bullshit. That is quite an accomplishment.
I would like to recommend Donna Tartt - The Secret History. one of my favorite novels, to be sure. |
there is always that space there
just before they get to us that space that fine relaxer the breather while say flopping on a bed thinking of nothing or say pouring a glass of water from the spigot while entranced by nothing that gentle pure space it's worth centuries of existence say just to scratch your neck while looking out the window at a bare branch that space there before they get to us ensures that when they do they won't get it all ever. by chuck bukowski from " You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense" - pg. 312 - 1986 |
the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills. Alone With Everybody - Bukowski. |

Charles Bukowski is similar to Salinger, except everything is a lot more violent and sexual. I just read Ham on Rye, really good book. |
Just finished "Post Office." It had it's ups and downs, but mostly ups, it was pretty good. I was going to read "Tough Luck" by Jason Starr next, but I may end up skipping it all together. I think I am going to start in on "Tropic of Cancer." I'm glad I took off sick at lunch today.

ham on rye is excellent and harsh the whole way through.
