[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]Oedipus Rex..Is that the same Oedipus that did his mom?

I read the play about his daughter, titled "Antigone" by Sophocles. I enjoyed reading it.

I wrote a very decent essay on how her actions are equivalent to the actions of Martin Luther King. :p sweetnuss++[/QUOTE]

Yea, Oedipus Rex and Antigone are both parts of a trilogy. Those are the only two I've read though :p I can't remember the other book.

I forgot we just finished Candide before this research paper. A few parts in that made me laugh of loud. Only a few. But it was a very smart book.

As it should be :)

Which book are you up to?

Is anyone familiar with Richard Wright and his novels? I am in the middle of reading 'Black Boy' which is an autobiography, and I am about to start 'Native Son.' Black Boy is a fairly interesting novel, and it shows you that your life really could be worse. :p

I think he did one called "Uncle Tom's Children." That is one of the best books I've ever read. Actually, I think it is the best.

To be honest, I have a hard time reading about anything that isn't about sports or music >_>

That said, I enjoyed The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

Candide is a good book as well.

I'm watching Friday Night Lights.

Yeah, that's I meant. You've got so much still to come. I'm jealous :(

My mom read Candide in college and told me that it sucks. Thats the main reason i want to read it.

[QUOTE=Simple Man]What is Madness bar?[/QUOTE]

One of the, if not just the, best flash games around.

I think it'd be more satisfying if you went to [url]http://www.flashplayer.com[/url] and watched the original four animations first (would make more sense, for one), but please yourself.

What is Candide about? It sounds interesting, but the name doesn't sound too familiar.*


*Not familiar at all.

Cheers

Candide = about a guy getting flogged, shipwrecked, etc, and finding out that bad luck is based on the positions of the stars or something. I havent read it yet so i dont know

Hey Clearvision, hows the Tool thread deal coming? I asked about it in the questions/problems thread, and Vince said that you were on top of it.

Candide is by the philosopher Voltaire. It's about a guy (Candide) who witnesses horrible things happening to people, and yet they do nothing about it, because they say it's all fate and that they can't change it. It's been a few years since I read it, so I don't remember all that much.

Canidide is Voltaire's (author) novel that satires life. He basically makes fun of religion, war, rich people, money, and especially optimism. He has some very interesting points, and at the time it was written (18th century I think), it pissed off a lot of people. I liked it a lot.

:lol: have you looked at my post in the actual tool thread? I did something yesterday. It just needs formatting, then posting really. A couple of people say it needs to be shorter because t3h n00bs wont read a long post. But i dno what to cut out.

So i wasnt that far off.
