Books N shit

Yeah I bought River God. Will start it this afternoon on the bus home. Fairly certain I've read it before though...but waaaaaaay back when it was first released in 1994 or something.

It's about a eunuch, right?

Anyway, will give it a bash.

yep, bash that eunuch

Man, I sure could go a couple of eunuchs right about now.

hmmm, scarring...

Yeah. Eunuchs are damn useful though. Woo-ee. I bet they could massage up a storm.

everyone weirded out of the thread yet?

So... how bout that Roald Dahl eh?

how's the book goin? have u sent me one yet?

the books rad

no i havent, i'm a dick - sending tomorrow!

An update on kafka:

Colonel Sanders is a pimp !!!

Book sent Addo. Its been discussed in this thread...

Russ I have read River God before...but a long time ago. I remember it now.

Don't know if I have read the other books though.

I remember vowing to never read Wilbur Smith after he mentions a hero in his book stabbing a dolphin in it's gills.

Stupid fucking Rhodesian.

dont be such a hippy, I'm sure it was in contex... rabid dolphin attack or something

context*


The rest of the River God series is really good too Lazlo, I'll prob read them again in 10 years when i've forgotten them.

As someone with a science degree I get mighty annoyed when someone gets the facts wrong.

Also spelling mistakes in books make me angry.

Dolphin gills.
Fish lungs.
Bear lasers.

"stabbing a dolphin in it's gills."

Hopefully he scaled it after he killed it.

Yeah! And removed the poisonous barbs from it's hind legs before cooking it.

Came back to show you i could fly

More recommendations for your fantasy shelf Lazlo - Fritz Leiber's stories about Fafrhd and The Grey Mouser. Classic fantasy stuff, in fact this along with Lord of the Rings set the tone for a squillion fantasy novels thereafter. The main characters are anti-heroes we would all love - they fight, steal, get pissed and shag women. Oh, and get around to the odd adventure too. Two glowing thumbs up! Fucken.

Fuck yeah

From Wiki:
"Fritz Reuter Leiber Jr. (December 24, 1910 – September 5, 1992) was an American writer of fantasy, horror and science fiction. He was also an expert chess player and a champion fencer."

Yes Sir I have beaten you in chess and I will now stab you in the throat.

just finished ken kesey's "one flew over the cuckoo nest"

pretty stoked on it.. the end happened too quick and kinda was dissapointing though. still recommend.

now russ just waitin for your book to arrive.

Addo - you should read Kesey's 'The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test' to see where he got his inspiration from. Primarily hippies and a metric fuckload of LSD.

yeah in hunter s' "hell's angels" he talks about how the angels all use to go out to kesey's house and that kesey introduced them to a ton of new drugs

russ you're legend... my book just arrived and well and truely stoked on your choice.

well and truely grateful.

cheers.

dont leave us hanging, what was it ?
