If you had Twenty-five dollars to spend...

I'd buy "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. The only problem is finding the time to actually read it.
 
I'd probably take that 25 bucks and buy a pack o' smokes, a 12 pack of cheap Milwaukee's Best and then head over to MLK Blvd and spend the rest for a blow job from a crack-whore . :rofl

Sorry I didn't know him personally, not like a just heard of him two days ago and the similarities between his book and orwells. :3oops: :2razz:
 
I'm wanting Jodi Picoult's new book, "Handle with Care". They're sort of pulp novels, a bit cliched, but they're definetely fun to read.

Only one is fantastic work on the dangers of totalitarian government, and the other one only sells because it gives libertarians wet-dreams about their own specialness. :mrgreen:

I read it already.
Hers are really such poorly written and schmaltzy novels, it's hard for me to put my finger on why they're so entertaining.... so entertaining that I'm willing to spend $25 a pop on them, the minute they hit the shelves.

:doh

It's like "chick flix" in book form.
Like all of Picoult's books, "Handle With Care" tackles a number of topics of specific interest to women: motherhood, rape, scary medical conditions, adoption, abortion, eating disorders.
She manages all this yet still fails to create a character who is more than a cardboard cut-out.
In other words, this book is no more or less satisfying than her previous hundred and forty eight books.

:lol:

Well that's a relief. Compelling characters scare my dainty female brain! :cool:

Yeah, I've read the reviews and I know that this particular deals with the issue of abortion with regards to disabled fetuses. I really don't trust Picoult with this issue, AT ALL. How did you think she dealt with it?

After reading the fountainhead Atlas Shrugged seemed way too predictable in how it support Objectivism at every line :D

And yeah... beyond that the huge lack of editing makes the books a very large commitment.
 
I just finnished "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. It was really good, almost a complete readthough during the weekend.

Especially if you like politics and science its a really great novel.

Isaac Asimov basically started science fiction, so at this point in its developement it isn't cliched at all. :P

Has anybody read "Gravity's Rainbow" by thomas pynchon?

The only people I know who have read Gravity's Rainbow are the people who really want you to know that they've read Gravity's Rainbow.
 
I recommend The Kite Runner by Khalad Housseini. If you've read that, try A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author. That's the book I'd buy.

Here:

Also, don't watch the movie. It stinks. ;)
