[Gregor Samsa]

William Shakespeare-Richard II. (Everyone ignores him in favour of his more celebrated descendant. Poor Richard II...)

 

[Ashleet]

My story by David Pelzer , Tis (the sequel to angelas ashes) and the harry potter series for about the 20th time

 

[Kittycat]

I have just finished reading 'Stupid White Men' By Michael Moore. It was funny. Now I want to read 'Dude, where's my country?' by the same guy.

[Darth Figgy]

I'm reading 'Pride and Prejudice' at the moment. Though I can never read one book at a time...I'm also reading 'Phantom of the Opera' for the second time, as well as 'Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody'.

 

[jaNetix]

is 'stupid white men' worth buying??
im thinking about it...

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I'd say Stupid White Men is worth buying, particularly if your political beliefs lean to the Left (As mine do.)

William Shakespeare-Othello, The Moor Of Venice.

 

[Mojoman]

stupid white men is worth buying.. its funny, regardless of you politcal beliefs.

im reading headhunters by john king now.... tis good

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Hmm..Iago is quite the bastard.

Michael Moore-Dude, Wheres My Country? (Not quite as funny as Stupid White Men, but still good.. First book I've read that refers to Godspeed You! Black Emperor as a 'rock band'..)

Now reading, for my last text of the year;
Barbara Ehrenreich & Deirdre English-For Her Own Good; 150 Years Of The Expert's Advice To Women.

Quite shocking stuff, as to be expected. Damn misogynism.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

One of the many shocking (Even as the product of a patriarchal context) extracts published in 'For Her Own Good';

Women beware. You are on the brink of destruction: You have hitherto been engaged in crushing your waists; now you are attempting to cultivate your mind; You have been merely dancing all night in the foul air of the ball-room; now you are beginning to spend your mornings in study. You have been incessantly stimulating your emotions with concerts and operas, with French plays, and French novels; now you are exerting your understanding to learn Greek, and solve propositions in Euclid. Beware!! Science pronounces that the woman who studies is lost.-R.R Coleman.

Now reading;
Northrop Frye-Anatomy Of Criticism.

 

[BowTrUcKle]

Animal Farm by George Orwell

there was an extract in cleo.

I just finished that.

I actually thought that it wasn't as good as I thought is was. The story is quite predictable, but you might enjoy it. It gives you an opportunity to bitch...lol.. I guess it teaches you some morals too...

Hope you enjoy it

[Gregor Samsa]

Finished 'Analysis Of Criticism' earlier today, and moved onto;
Henry Reynolds-Why Weren't We Told?

Now Reading;
Christopher Norris-Deconstruction;Theory And Practise.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Whilst still reading 'Deconstruction;Theory And Practise", I began reading;

Nietzsche-Thus Spoke Zarathustra on the train today. That crazy kid and his conception of the ubermensch.

 

[ameh]

french lieu woman and wuthering heights

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Simon Winchester-Krakatoa;The Day The World Exploded: 27th August 1883. (Catchy title.)
