HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Surely I'm not the only one on this forum that reads. Forgive me if this thread already exists, but it must be very old if it does so let's just use this one, mmk?

I like to read two books at a time, fiction and non fiction. Right now I'm reading...

"The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene (it's about superstring theory - a theory that everything is made of vibrating loops of energy called strings)

"Desolation Angels" by Jack Kerouac

What are YOU reading? [/uncle sam]

H.P Lovecraft - Omnibus 1

Awesome! Infact the only things I have read in the last few years has been HP. Oh, and Jackie Chan's autobiography.

I just finished reading the "History of Bestiality"-trilogy by Jens Bjørneboe:

Moment of Freedom
Powderhouse
The Silence

The narrator in the trilogy is writing a massive twelve-volume study or protocol called "the History of Bestiality". It is a long and detailed account of man’s cruelty to man. He does this to find out what the nature of the evil inherent in the human race is and why man behaves so inhumanely to his fellow man. We have been given an earthly paradise to our disposition. Here we can eat, drink, fuck and love, but instead we have turned Earth into a slaughterhouse, where we relentlessly torment, rape, murder and torture each other, since the dawn of history. Why?

These books are not ordinary novels, but "anti-novels". A mixture of fiction, essay, and memoir. Jens Bjørneboe wrote in "Moment of Freedom" that within 10 years he'd be so burdened by the weight of knowledge he'd have accumulated by then that self destruction would be the only option. 10 years later he killed himself.

haha, monga! that's kickass i love lovecraft, too. got the "shoggoth on the roof" musical for my birthday recently.
"we normal people just look the other way and try not to loose our minds" - priceless.

at the moment i read "midworld" by alan dean foster. sci-fi from 1975. good stuff.

@fullgore: great idea for a thread! thank you

I've finished reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" after I was dissapointed by the movie and my guitar techer kept praising the book.

Now I started "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche but it will need some more reading until I finally understand it, I think...and hope.

The "History of Bestiality"-trilogy sounds geat.

horus rising - dan abnott

geek epic

the guide's movie sucked tremendously.

and regarding nietzsche, that's a hell of a book, tsz.

Charles Manson - Manson In His Own Words, very interesting book.

oooh, I love this thread!

Reading is so much fun.

I have few books on the table now, I've had a long break from books but now I'm coming back.

First, Narnia (the whole thing).
Found (suprisingly) on sale basket, love it!
Remember it back in first grade when our teacher read it to us.

Meteor and Angels and Demons by Dan Brown still waiting to be read

Before Narnia I just finished The Red Dragon (Hannibal-series), which was
pretty good.
Though it was so scary and bloody at times I had to take breaks from it

I looooove this thread, did I mention it already?

Books are for nerds man! *puts on leather jacket and sunglasses and rides off on a Harley Davidson*

As much as I'd like to agree with that (the Harley is tempting ), I must admit that I enjoy reading.

Particularly Terry Pratchett novels as of late.

Call me a geek all you want but those books rock!

nah thats ok dude. im quite the geek myself to be honest. i just dont read

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - Paul Torday

reasonably light-hearted so far...but not spectacular

A compendium of George Carlin's work. "An Orgy of George".

Next...the 1 millionth start to Doug Adams "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and all related books.
