Not really, it's more like mental superduper sexyinterface. Or something.

Dixanadu 05-09-2009 01:44 AM

SAI BUR SECKS. I think it's called.

Wings of Fire 05-09-2009 04:44 AM

I've had cybersex, no robots were involved.

Anonyman! 05-09-2009 01:43 PM

They should have been involved.

Technophilia. It's quite the delightful romp (slippery oil).

MA 05-11-2009 08:58 AM

finished reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub quite a while ago.

one of my favourites.

Strike Witch 05-11-2009 12:28 PM

Hm, this Yu-Gi-Oh manga isn't that bad.

Though my favourite game he came up with is the icehockey of doom.

Anonyman! 05-11-2009 01:21 PM

Xenophile actually. Just not to Pilot's extent.

Fucking moron. Technophilia is too broad.

Idiot.

I go through weird obsessive phases where I'll readreadread for, like, a week and then the next time I try and read I'll be like "You know what, I need to rearrange all the cabinets in the house". So my reading is unfortunately sporadic.

Technically, the book I'm currently reading is my Personality Theory textbook for class. It actually is very interesting, a fairly good read for a textbook. Non-textbookly, I have recently attempted to read the first book of Warriors but the writing is a wee bit too juvenile for me (to be fair, it is written for young teens...but so was Silverwing and that was fabulous). Next book I'm going to read within the next few days will be "American Psycho", "A Stir of Echoes", "The Bad Seed", or "Wind-up Bird Chronicles", haven't decided yet.

Wings of Fire 05-31-2009 02:28 PM

Ulysses.

Enough said.

used:) 05-31-2009 02:41 PM

I read the dramatic monologue about Ulysses.

Not actively reading anything, right now. However, I really must finish the graphic novels my friend lent me.

I am currently reading "Life and times of the Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson and it is hilarious.

ABM

Bill Bryson is awesome I strongly recommend "A Short History of Nearly Everything".

In a few minutes I'm gonna start listening to an audio book if that counts, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" very excited for this :fuzsmile:

Mac Sirloin 06-01-2009 05:34 AM

I'm reading Maus for the third time. I wish I could track down some form of one of Vladek's recordnings, apparently hearing him speak is quite the experience.

Wings of Fire 06-01-2009 05:38 AM

It couldn't possibly be better than the deep gruff Yiddish accent I hear in my head every time I read.

Wings of Fire 06-02-2009 05:10 PM

And now I'm reading the graphic novel adaption of Kafka's Metamorphosis and Gaiman's Mister Punch.

And no, I haven't finished Ulysses yet, I'm only human.

bobtheguy 06-03-2009 07:34 PM

to be honest, nothing.

Wings of Fire 06-03-2009 11:17 PM

Outta my thread, now.

MA 06-04-2009 08:56 AM

BTG what are you doing?

i've just dug out my old Grimms Fairy Tales book. those stories are a bit strange for kids, if you catch my drift. as in underage marriage and being eaten by your friends.

Strike Witch 06-04-2009 04:44 PM

Ouran High School Host Club.

Hilarious gay hijinks.

Mac Sirloin 06-04-2009 05:18 PM

Finished Maus. Going to take a crack at American Gods now.

The premise for the Jury Rig story is really similar to it.

Well, sorta.

Don't post unless you have somethig to post.

Al the Vykker 06-08-2009 10:14 AM

I'm currently rereading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut and the Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung.

skillya_glowi 06-12-2009 09:49 AM

After a long stretch of complete literary abstinence (save for a few short, but I must say intriguing, essays), I've picked up a very interesting little book by the name of Prisoner for Blasphemy, by G.W. Foote. If you enjoy mockery of religion, you'd probably love it. Not only that, but I find his wit delightful.

Mac Sirloin 06-14-2009 09:05 AM

I tried picking up Eldest out of sheer boredom.

Christ that book is mediocre.

moxco 06-14-2009 01:10 PM

If you enjoy mocking religion this is highly recommended:http://www.google.com/products?sourc...num=1&ct=title

I just finished Watchmen.



























Goddamnit.
I liked the cliffhanger though.

Strike Witch 07-28-2009 02:30 AM

I've read maybe, about 600 and something chapters of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Good god, this manga is excellent.

It's like if a muscley man punched Lord of the Rings so hard it collided with Dracula and they combined at a molecular level and Then rewrote it to include hundreds of music references and robotic-nazis with machine-gun chests.

MA 07-28-2009 09:56 AM

i read Legends of the Dark Crystal: The Garthim Wars quite while back, and its presented as Manga. first Manga i have read, and it was alright.

Wasn't Ozymandias the biggest piece of *beep* you've ever seen? Oh, and wasn't Rorschach the absolute *beep*!

Anonyman! 08-02-2009 09:19 AM

ozymandias was right.

Also rereading Lovecraft. I forgot how much I liked the Outsider.

used:) 08-02-2009 09:39 AM

What do you mean he was right?

Wings of Fire 08-02-2009 09:53 AM

I believe he means he was right to do what he did.

I had a big talk about Ozymandias with a friend not so long ago and we decided that underneath everything he was an egotistical wank. Even in the comic.

Anonyman! 08-02-2009 10:05 AM

An egotistical wank with a cool suit. Save for the shoes. They was ridiculous.

used:) 08-02-2009 05:16 PM

3 million people died. All for the sake of him fulfilling his "destiny."

while i admit i liked his costume in the gn very much, what he did can't be justified, he'd kill your family are you still alright with it?

Wings of Fire 08-02-2009 06:43 PM

But your family would have died as soon as the missiles started flying anyways. The world was hours from a nuclear war when Veidt did what he did.

used:) 08-02-2009 06:44 PM

And Dr. Manhattan would have returned just in time to have stopped the nuclear Holocaust.
