hugo Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Just started reading "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. His "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of my favorites. Other recommendations "Cannery Row" and "Tortilla Flat" by Steinbeck, "The Last of the Just" by Andre Schwarz-Bart. 1 Quote The power to do good is also the power to do harm. - Milton Friedman "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." - James Madison
RoyalOrleans Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I am currently reading the Maginogion, a collection of prose stories from medieval Welsh manuscripts. I printed them off of the Wikisource site. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
emkay64 Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Just read "The telling of lies"--Timothy Findley. I read...a lot.... Quote
Ahhlee Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I'm reading a book of slow-cooker recipes to get some ideas for a party this weekend. It's pretty deep and well thought out plot though I'm not sure if I'm completely sold on the views and actions of the protagonist..i.e. Swedish meatball casserole. 1 Quote

It's pretty deep and well thought out plot though I'm not sure if I'm completely sold on the views and actions of the protagonist..i.e. Swedish meatball casserole. I know slow cookers are a great time saver...I just can`t love the look of the anemic meat that comes out of them. I have to brown everything afterwards in the oven. It is a delight for things like chili, and spaghetti sauce, or soup...or for melting candle wax (heehee)....but mostly I don`t like the mush they produce. I`d rather bake, roast or BBQ.... Quote

Oh I agree. Thinking everything can be done in the crock pot is like thinking you can cook an entire meal in a microwave...and we all know how that sh!t turns out. I always wind up cooking half on the stove top or oven and then wrapping it up in the crock pot. Quote
mercury Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 just picked up Wally Lamb's new one "The Hour I first Believed".... haven't started it yet; chores first. Quote
ImWithStupid Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I'm currently reading a thread on Off Topic Forum about books. 1 Quote
snafu Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 I'm currently reading a thread on Off Topic Forum about books. It's really quite interesting. I wonder if it's non fiction? 1 Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN
Old Salt Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 It's really quite interesting. I wonder if it's non fiction?Could be turned into a docu-drama, heavy on the drama, with the right submissions. 1 Quote

RoyalOrleans Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 ...and whining, and complaining, and generally suffocating the entire site like the giant wet blanket he is. Nothing worse than being suffocated by a urine soaked blanket, but I digress, I did initiate a fukken exchange with wez. If Off Topic Forum were a book, wez' contribution would consist of three pages of "yay me" and "I'm not you" c#nt-speak. 1 Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
RoyalOrleans Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Now wez will reply to me in his little c#nt speak way and totally kill this thread. For example, RO's contribution would be SIX pages of "I demand your respect", "I played army in the desert", and "I kill because in God I trust". There wez... I laid it out for you. Oooo... got me there. 1 Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.

Ahhlee Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I only read what Oprah tells me to. Just kidding. I can't read. Quote
Anna Perenna Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I'm reading a few things at the same time: The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole - Sue Townsend When You are Engulfed in Flames - David Sedaris Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood Quote _______________________________________________________ I don't know how to put this, but ...

But no straight men do. And to date, no woman has sent me a picture of her vaginal canal.
