foreverendeared: Barnes & Noble

foreverendeared 12.29.10	Also, EVERYONE DOWNLOAD 1 NOW! I've tried to get people to listen to it forever, but no one listens to me. Trust me, it's fucking great.
Josh D. 12.29.10	The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris
foreverendeared 12.29.10	gonna go check The Moral Landscape in visual bookshelf on facebook and see what people say about it
BallsToTheWall 12.29.10	The Situation has a new book I heard. Supposed to be a real intellectual piece.
Josh D. 12.29.10	I would write a review for it (I've only written one book review on Visual Bookshelf before), but I don't want to. If you interested in the subject matter, it's pretty sweet.
patroneyes 12.29.10	fuck yeah organized konfusion crush kill destroy stress
foreverendeared 12.29.10	Thinking about either getting something that you guys recommend me, or From Hell by Alan Moore i still need that one
couldwinarabbit 12.29.10	the curious incident of the dog in the middle of the night (or w/e it is called google will fill you in) is an amazing book. Stienback's stuff but if you read you have already read his stuff.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I feel silly but I still haven't read Grapes of Wrath. I've read a lot of his other stuff though, a lot of his short stories too. Oh and Demian by Hermann Hesse sounds really interesting
Josh D. 12.29.10	I ordered two more Jefferson bios and two T. H. Huxley books yesterday.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	okay yeah The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris sounds really interesting as well.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I need to read some T. H. Huxley
PuddlesPuddles 12.29.10	Gaiman... Did you read American Gods yet? I sort of get the feel that you have, though. I also don't get the feel that you like Koontz, or I'd recommend "What the Night Knows".... You might like "The Zero" by Jess Walter "You Shall Know Our Velocity!" by Dave Eggers
Josh D. 12.29.10	I got one of his books on agnosticism and other essays, and then one about evolution and human nature/philosophy or some shit.
couldwinarabbit 12.29.10	ow if you like history books Ian Kershaw- fateful choices is probably the best ww2 book I have ever read (like it wasn't even academic I read it out of enjoyment) Watchmen and Narnia are also both really good easy reads.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	Yeah American Gods is great. And I have no opinions on Koontz yet, but my mom did get me "Hideaway" from a garage sale for like 10 cents so I figured I'd give it a go eventually. I have a feeling it's gonna be the equivalent to a Hollywood blockbuster, all fun, no substance.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I have the boxset of Narnia already and I've loved Watchmen since I was a kid haha thanks for the WW2 book rec. I'll look into it.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	Josh, have you read "God Is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens? Me and my friend were just talking about it last night.
Winsomniac 12.29.10	House of Leaves. Fanboy, I am.
Josh D. 12.29.10	Of course, read it years ago. I have been wanting to re-read it though.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I do need house of leaves. How does it compare with The Moral Landscape?
Josh D. 12.29.10	GinG is about religion specifically. TML is about morality in terms or relativism, consequentialism, absolutism, and how morals can come about through scientific means like evolution and societal well-being, and ideas shown through neuroscience and stuff like that. It has a religion chapter, but it also deals with psychopaths, ethics, neuroimaging, and lots of other things.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	Okay that sounds really interesting. Will probably go to B&N here in a few and pick it up
Josh D. 12.29.10	Yeah, it's pretty cool. I learned a lot of different things; Harris is a smart dude.
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I hope it's not too much. I'd like to have some money on the card left over to get a couple more things.
Josh D. 12.29.10	Well, when I got it, it rang up around 20 something. Unless it's out in paperback now.
americanmusicmachine 12.29.10	"Farewell, My Lovely" by Raymond Chandler "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" by James Agee and Walker Evans "Batman: The Long Halloween" by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale "Invitation to a Beheading" by Vladimir Nabokov
foreverendeared 12.29.10	I hope. I hate hardbacks. thanks americanmusicman I'll visual bookshelf those
Urinetrouble 12.29.10	the anarchist cookbook the art of war
foreverendeared 12.29.10	the anarchist cookbook awesome
foreverendeared 12.29.10	okay too late for recs now, going to B&N i'll let you all know what I got even though no one cares
myhigherpie 12.30.10	you like philosophical fiction :) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? By Phillip K. Dick is a wonderful read you'd probably enjoy.
foreverendeared 12.30.10	Okay I got: House of Leaves - Mark Danielewski Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon Demian - Hermann Hesse The Moral Landscape wasn't in paperback so I'm gonna wait until it is. Also I went ahead and added Vladimir Nabokov to my future buy list. myhigherpie- added that book as well to my list :]
FromDaHood 12.30.10	I hope for your sake that Gravity's Rainbow is better than The Crying of Lot 49
foreverendeared 12.30.10	Well Gravity's Rainbow is widely considered one of the greatest books of the 20th century, so I expect it to be pretty fucking good.
foreverendeared 12.30.10	No one listened to 1 :[
omnipanzer 12.30.10	Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it but I would put it toward a nook. books: alphabet of manliness (comedy) Born Standing Up (Steve Martin auto-biography) The Millennium Trilogy (suspense/thriller/mystery) His Dark Materials Trilogy - (fantasy and it should be available in a box set) Dances with Wolves (if you haven't read it it is easily one of my favorite books of all time) Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Anthony Bourdain memoirs)
omnipanzer 12.30.10	for starters ;^)
foreverendeared 12.30.10	I've read alphabet of manliness. pretty funny. Haven't read the rest.
DiceMan 12.30.10	omnipanzer's list is kinda bad and kiddish, so ifyou're 12 you can check those out... But, you should read The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart it's a fantastic black comedy novel about psychiatry. Or check out Man In The Dark or any of the City of Glass books by Paul Auster they're all fantastic.
foreverendeared 12.30.10	I'm okay with reading a fun fluffy book every once in a while, but yeah I prefer novels with substance. I'll look into those, thanks.
foreverendeared 12.30.10	I own American Psycho and it's one of my favorite books. Have you read anything else by him that you'd recommend?
foreverendeared 12.30.10	i'll get on it
Niceinvader 02.10.11	A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin or A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
foreverendeared 02.10.11	I'm on the fourth book of The Ice and Fire series :] will look into A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
Niceinvader 02.10.11	I'm still on the first. School is keeping my reading stagnant atm.
foreverendeared 02.10.11	It gets better and better after each book. Any other rec's?
Josh D. 02.10.11	American Sphinx by Joseph J. Ellis
Niceinvader 02.10.11	I'm excited because that's what i've heard. You could try to topple Infinite Jest by DFW. I could not get through it but it was great for the whole time I tried.
Satellite 02.10.11	sex, drugs & cocoa puffs - chuck klosterman a walk in the woods - bill bryson the stranger - albert camus do androids dream of electric sheep? - philip k. dick on the road - jack kerouac the master and margarita - mikhail bulgakov
foreverendeared 02.10.11	Thanks, Josh. I'll put that on my list with The Moral Landscape which I'm still waiting to go to paperback. I'll add that one too invader Saty, I own The Stranger and I have do androids dream of electric sheep? on my list of to reads. Will look into the others, thanks
Niceinvader 02.10.11	All this talk makes me realize I don't read enough. =/
foreverendeared 02.10.11	Well I'm on unemployment and take classes online, so I have all the time in the world, but assuming you aren't like some 50 yr old in school or don't die young, you got plenty of time.
SeaAnemone 02.10.11	Made a trip to Barnes and Noble today... bought "Frankenstein" and Kakfa's "The Trial." Hopefully good...
Josh D. 02.10.11	I haven't read American Sphinx yet, but it is on my shelf waiting to be read. It won a major book award.
foreverendeared 02.10.11	I've been meaning to get some Kafka, haven't read anything by him.
SeaAnemone 02.10.11	My philosophy professor (probably the most-read person I know) recommended it to me after I told her I loved The Stranger... she said I'd like this just as much, and so far it's great.
Satellite 02.10.11	i definitely second the trial. should've put that on my list of recs.
Pizza 02.10.11	just read Left Hand of Darkness for a class, was excellent and I recommend it
foreverendeared 02.10.11	Sea, check out Demian by Hermann Hesse next. It's somewhat similar in it's philosophy and is particularly inspired by Carl Jung. You'd love it. I'll add that to the list, Pizza
