OmarBradley Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm reading 1984 for the first time, so I can join the rest of adult society.I'm actually really enjoying it; even as a Guns N' Roses fan, I have absolutely no patience and get bored quickly. This is keeping pace fine for me. I got bored of it, but finished it. I did like the story. The movie was fairly decent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd clear that up, lest i find myself being grossly misrepresented And uh, no i don't think it'd be on the Beeb, as we all know their choice of deviant behaviour falls more into the category of pederasty than bestiality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Still reading the Richard Sharpe series. Back-to-back it is about a meter of books.You enjoying them then?Oh yeah. But now I am suffereing form having read too many of them in succession. You know, it is all, Sharpe being in conflict with his superiors, saves a famous battle, has a failed romantic interest, over and over in each book. It becomes a bit formulaic. But taken on their own separately, they are really entertaining books. And I get to learn a bit of history from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlfan88 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Panegyric by Guy Debord : http://debordiana.chez.com/english/panegyric.htm The leopard dies with his spots, and I have never intended, or believed myself capable of, improving myself. I have really never aspired to any sort of virtue, except perhaps that of having thought that only some crimes of a new type, which could certainly not have been cited in the past, might not be unworthy of me; and that of not having changed, after such a bad start. At a critical moment in the troubles of the Fronde, Gondi, who had given such sterling proofs of his capacities in the handling of human affairs notably in his favourite role of disturber of the public peace improvised happily before the Parlement de Paris a beautiful quotation attributed to an ancient author, whose name everyone vainly searched for, but which could be best applied to his own panegyric: In difficillimis Reipublicae temporibus, urbem non deserui; in prosperis nihil de publico delibavi; in desperatis, nihil timui. He himself translated it as In bad times, I did not abandon the city; in good times, I had no private interests; in desperate times, I feared nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 After years of reading non-fiction, I have decided to give fiction a chance. I have started reading Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. Going to read all fourteen of his Bond novels. Two chapters in and I am intriqued. Want to know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 After years of reading non-fiction, I have decided to give fiction a chance. I have started reading Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. Going to read all fourteen of his Bond novels. Two chapters in and I am intriqued. Want to know more. Watch out for the scene where he drinks two bottles of champagne and eats scrambled eggs - this is at three in the morning or some other ungodly hour, understand - before a high octane car chase with Le Chiffre? I finished that book on Japanese Kamikazes. It was fairly tedious stuff really; the pilots saw themselves in Japanese bucolic terms, as 'cherry blossoms falling to the earth''. Far be it from random fanatical pilots shouting banzai, it was a fairly rationalised scheme by the Japanese Navy to defend the mainland from the allies - kamikaze were actually instructed to return if they did not see a sizable enough target as opposed to wasting their life on a destroyer or smaller vessel. Nothing new really as it is an old book. I ordered the first part of Shelby Foote's trilogy which, I am ashamed to say, I have not read.
