Astral Abortis
11.11.16 | I tried reading American Psycho and hated it. Then I tried watching the film and hated it more. Never tried reading any of his other work.

11.11.16 | Must admit, I've never read a book of this nature. Only scientific books. Any recommendations? I've been planning on reading for ages but just don't know where/when to start. |

11.11.16 | @MH18.. try Less than zero. Keith Buckley from ETID has a book out called Scale, that is similar. Its all about personal taste. all else fails then try Gatsby.. one of the best written pieces ever. |

Rowan5215
11.12.16 | reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series (on Wolves of the Calla right now) and HP Lovecraft's whole canon. it's a bit of a horror time for me in other words |
mindleviticus

spookynewghostfriend
11.12.16 | oh sick im reading independent people as well
|
spookynewghostfriend
11.12.16 | i love the movie rules of attraction even though it has obvious flaws |
Divaman
11.12.16 | Yeah DD, it's pretty shocking stuff. Don't know if you ever watched the British comedy show "Blackadder", but the 4th season takes place during WW1, and it's funny but painful at the same time. It shows just how many men died senseless deaths just so, as Blackadder says, "The generals can move their liquor cabinets six inches closer to Berlin." |
MH18
11.18.16 | @DDconjoined. Got Less Than Zero in the mail today. Will let you know my thoughts once I finish ;). Finally finding time and motivation to read. |
