Re: The Books thread.
reading The Crying of Lot 49, liking it very much, five thumbs up
I didn't read much besides DAC as a young'un, so it's pretty cool to discover books all the time, there's a whole lot of them I tell ya. I feel like I've listened to most of the music that I like that's readily available, and seen a lot of movies and tv shows, but I'm reading all kinds of shit for the first time. I'd say 90% of the books I've read, I've read in the past 3 years or so
Still, most of the time I prefer discovering them over actually reading them

Re: The Books thread.
started reading this, seems p.cool maybe, nice cover
Re: The Books thread.
I just realized that the guy in the cover art is Ellison, why does he have to be such a self-indulgent moron
anyway I read some of his short stories, either women are prozzies or they get raped,
he writes like an incel who reads online guides about why women like bad boys

Nobody's perfect, that's why audiobooks exist.
Re: The Books thread.
heck yes. are there any other good sites for audiobooks besides AudioBookBay?
Re: The Books thread.
Reading a book about the history of modern esotericism and occultism in Finland, it's a dumb history book so no spells or mana potion recipes or anything, but I guess reading history is good otherwise we'll repeat the same mistakes like shoot Franz Ferdinand in the face again
Re: The Books thread.
That's true. I was thinking of listening to the first edition of "A course in miracles", autodidacted Crowley style.
Re: The Books thread.

Re: The Books thread.
A friend gifted me Tarantino's book, and holy shit my backlog of movies to watch tripled in length. The amount of movie knowledge the man has is absolutely astounding.
