[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]You're proably right, judging from my posting style lately...[/QUOTE]

I got banned for three days because of spamming recently. it made me do doubletake on where my life was headed. i'd been doing drugs, hard drugs. been pimping, raping, advocating for the tobacco companies. I sold some dirty weapons grade plutonium to Libya, disguised as old Vietnamese war C-rations, to give to children. now i'm on a completely different route. *breaks into tears* I'm just so happy I found my way! I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't been banned when I was.

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]I haven't read a book in a long time. I may pick up Pet Sematary again, I love that book. I've been meaning to to buy Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging. Both are about Northern California (Bay Area and northwards), Oregon, and Washington joining together to succeed from the US and become their own Eco-friendly country called ecotopia.[/QUOTE]

WOW! AWESOMEFUL! Must find those books.

Callenbach is the author's name. The new ones were really expensive at Barnes and Noble, so I'm probably ordering used from Amazon. It was written by a UC Berkeley Student that my Sociology teacher knew, hence where I found out about it.

What's the name of that one book that has this singer on the cover and his chest and mouth is bleeding? It has to do with the hardcore/punk scene in the 80's

Sounds like Sid Vicious to me. Are you sure it was his mouth? It couldn't have been a broken nose and Get Me A Fix carved into his chest?

I'm not really spamming, just posting whatever.


I am reading [I]Babbitt[/I] by Sinclair Lewis right now. It seems fun , so far.

An (auto)biography I really enjoyed was Scar Tissue (guess who wrote it:p).

the best book i ever read was "The Outsiders"

ive read some stephen king books.this was after ive seen countless stephen king movies.and the movies look like b-movies compared to the book.

[QUOTE=Skidmark Steve]the best book i ever read was "The Outsiders"[/QUOTE]

You must not read very much.

[QUOTE=DaveToopes]You must not read very much.[/QUOTE]

One of my favorite books is [I]Animal Farm[/I]. Anyone else read it? I thought it was great.

I LOVED Animal Farm. I have been meaning to read 1984, but school reading keeps getting in the way.

Same here! 1984 has been on my "To Read" list but school's being a b'itch.

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]I think its called [U]American Hardcore[/U][/QUOTE]
I've been reading it everytime I'm able to get to Barnes and Noble. I hate the way it's written, but I'm going to finish it just for the education.

1984 is one of my favorite books ever.

for punk book read salad days. good read about the 80's hardcore seane. as for other books read the original dracula by bram stoker. best book iv ever read. also the myth series by robert asprin. exreamly good SF read

In true PunX fashion.


[U]Kurt Cobain Biography[/U]= Once upon a time some guy stole ideas from underground rock in the 80's, made it mainstream, and realized he was an idiot and killed himself. The End.

My favorite books include:
The Catcher In The Rye & The Giver

I love Animal Farm, really interesting. I remember the AP kids in 10th grade had to read it and didn't understand, f'ucking morons. They didn't understand Brave New World in 12th grade either. I like that book alot as usual. 1984 was the book that really started me into the whole dystopian novel thing. I have the movie but have yet to watch it.

The Outsiders was a good book.

Animal Farm is an amazing book, but I was so depressed by the time I reached the end. And the bit when the animals couldn't tell the difference between the pigs and the humans I just started crying.

Catcher in the Rye --JD Salinger
The Divine Comedy --Dante Alighieri (get the John Ciardi translation, if possible)
Black Like Me --Griffin
Power Politics --Arundhati Roy
The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger --Lois Lowry (that's a series, but most people only know about The Giver)
The Devil's Arithmetic --Jane Yolen


Thank you to whomever said the author of Ender's Game. I intended to read that years ago but didn't know who wrote it. Also, if anyone knows the name/author for the book I'm about to describe, please tell me. In the book, the world government has set a population control family-size limit. Only 2 children are permitted per family. In a family where there are 3 children, one disappears. Not really, though. He hides in the house all day and no one can know he exists. Every now and then he peeks out the curtains and hides fast if someone is around. One day though, he is looking out and thinks he catches a glimpse of a face in the window of the neighbouring house--a face which is quickly hidden behind that house's curtains. I don't know the title or author, but it sounded like a good book when I was told about it. It was something about "No 3s". The title made some reference to third children not being allowed.

Third Time's The Death Warrant :p. I have no idea what that book/author is, but it sounds good. Also an uber-cool book about stone-age African culture based around ancient African folk stories (it sounds boring but it's written awesomley) is The Kin by Peter Dickinson.

I'm sure you didn't automatically see the allusion all by yourself when you first read it.

People should quit saying books that have been said 30 times already. Either say something about it, or don't include it in your list.

[U]Babbitt[/U] is really boring.
