Polymath
05.29.11 | The Milennium Trilogy is fucking unreal! You'll love that. H.P. Lovecraft is also really good and fucked up stuff, go for it. |

sniper01
05.29.11 | srsly a screen will ruin your experience |
wabbit
05.29.11 | Outsiders is a really good book
"Robert Ludlum - The Bourne Identity" Only time I can think of when a movie serious is better than the books

Kris.
05.29.11 | star whores
thats a good movie |
Kris.
05.29.11 | false watchem the book is 10x better than the movie |
Kris.
05.29.11 | but dont get me wrong watchmen is a fantastic movie and a great companion piece to the book
but nothing touches the book |
wabbit
05.29.11 | Watchmen movie was actually pretty good...but I mean the book is probably my favourite book ever. |
andcas
05.29.11 | I never said that watchmen the movie was better silly. |
Kris.
05.29.11 | o i thoguht you were saying that watchmen the movie was better cuz of the previous conversation my b |
wabbit
05.29.11 | oops.

05.29.11 | I don't know, to me digs is stuff you're digging at the moment, and I'd find it kind of hard to dig that many books at once! |
spillingmercury
05.29.11 | Aww I hate you. I want to work at a bookstore too. Only book that I've read on this list though is 24. I want to read more books from 20 though, especially Out of the Silent Planet. |

05.30.11 | Just finished reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman yesterday |

The book is just as amazing as the movie. Don't blaspheme Ludlum's amazingness |
scissorlocked
06.01.11 | "Stendhal on Sputnik? FUCKING SICK"
yeah man, the book was amazing, easily one of the best I've ever read
satire, psychological descriptions, love theories, upper-class wankery - this book had everything
up with Flaubert for the best writers of the 19th century |
Eulogize
06.01.11 | 17 was a pretty good book but the movie was fucking awful. Had to read and watch it for Freshman year. |

06.01.11 | Digging #7; will get the sequels when I get money. |
Adash
06.02.11 | Stendhal is so ahead of his time its unbelievable, second only to the mighty Dostoyevsky
19th century was the days when men were men and took no shit from plebs. Miss them days. AND Madame Bovary was fit as fuck

scissorlocked
06.02.11 | "Stendhal is so ahead of his time its unbelievable, second only to the mighty Dostoyevsky"
so true- The chatter-house of Parma is next in line
as for Flaubert i could say I loved Sentimental Education a little more than the sexy madame |
Adash
06.02.11 | just reading CHoParma now, well worth it. Can't believe he wrote it in 50 days
Novels got so much worse in the 20th century (after 1939 that is) |

06.02.11 | ""Robert Ludlum - The Bourne Identity" Only time I can think of when a movie serious is better than the books"
If you're retarded maybe "
the bourne series is much better as movies than as books because simply put robert ludlum sucks at writing |
qwe3
06.02.11 | sorry, sucked |
scissorlocked
06.02.11 | yeah, I know, I cannot read newer novels (post 1950 era) when I know that such huge books were published during the 19th century
literature has taken some serious shifts through modernism and it's somehow essential to read some classic stuff in order to fully understand what newer writers have done with their prose |
Adash
06.02.11 | The novel as such peaked with Joyce, Proust, Mann and Bely. Short stories perfected by Kafka and Schulz.
Nothing comparable has been, or can be, written since |
boogs
06.02.11 | Needs more Vonnegut |
Adash
06.02.11 | Still, Coetzee ain't too shabby |
