AxlsFavoriteRose Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) The Dead Zone by Stephen King which, if you're familiar with it, is kinda creepy at this juncture in politics!

Yeah, and the tv series was about politics too. I really liked that show. Anthony Michael Hall and Sean Patrick Flannery were in it. I know I read the book a long time ago, so I don't remember much of it. I read too many books to remember them all. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 East of Eden, John Steinbeck. that opening is just perfect, the way he describes the area is spot on. i have been there many times. the coolest thing was one time in Monterey we were driving by the bust of Steinbeck and i was reading that. yes i am easily thrilled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It has the story of David Boon drinking fifty plus cans of beer on a tour to England and having to be carried off the plane. Apparently down under during the '70s Aussie spectators used to pee in cans of beer and say to the outfield players, ''hey pommie bastard, I've brewed a beer specially for you''. It was an affectionate convict greeting apparently. It is interesting. His first book appearing when he was still captain of the West Indies which consequentially does not mythologise the famed West Indian pace quartet (a tendency of modern cricket literature). He actually wished he ''could find a decent spinner to create a more balanced attack'' which goes against common convention remarkably. Quite a funny book. Over plays the ''ordinary working class (Accrington) laddishness'' a bit for my tastes but that is his thing I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Read Berserk manga until 347. Never read comics while I was younger and certainly didn't read manga, but it was pretty good. Decided to read it after watching the anime from the 90's on a whim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Gonna start The Invisible Landscape by Terence Mckenna tonight. Terence had some fascinating ideas and I've been watching his old interviews and lectures for a while, excited to start this. Anyone else into Mckenna?
