He and I are one-dimensional and a lot alike. Cavey reads Becky - trask reads Hustler - Cavey has big balls - trask has big balls - what's not to like? Quote
lummox Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 i finished three books over the holiday. one by caroline knapp and two by augusten burroughs. man those people have lived through some fucked up stuff. Quote
ChrisT Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 "Drinking: A love story"? Great book. CK recently died of lung cancer. Well I guess it's been a year now... Quote
rbw1966 Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 For more prose on drinking and relationships Raymond Carver has some engrossing short stories. Quote

Well I guess it's been a year now... yea. drinking. inspired me to put the bottle aside. no shit. too bad sobriety is novel for me. augustens dry was similarly shocking, but better written. for a gay dude hes pretty cool. running with scissors was just shocking.

ChrisT Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 You might also like "A million little pieces" by James Frey. Just came out. I was sad to hear about CK's death. She was only 42! Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 For more music on drinking and relationships, Alkaline Trio has some engrossing short songs. Quote
lummox Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 i need to read something uplifting. maybe readers digest real life drama? Quote
thelawgoddess Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 grisham's "the summons". not very exciting. Quote

faust Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 "Barren Lands" by Kevin Krajick. An excellent read about discovering diamonds in the Canadian Arctic. A good bit of the book is really interesting stuff on the history of diamond prospecting in general, including the whole DeBeers travesty. I could hardly put this book down. Quote
sobo Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 Just started readiing Simonson's "Ghosts of Everest" this past weekend. Picked it up at our fundraiser last week. If y'all are interested, we practically filled the entire lower floor of the Capitol Theater (seats ~800 on the lower floor), and cleared over $8000 in ticket sales alone. Still calc'ing underwriter's contributions and figuring out teh expenses, but we did WAAAY better than we ever hoped we could. Another tidbit: our truck broke down Tuesday on our way to the Mt. Adams mission. Burnt up the clutch going up to Satus Pass. WE SURE DO NEED A NEW TRUCK!! Quote
Gaston_Lagaffe Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Bourne Supremacy, The Theory of Everything, Little Ice Age, The Cassandra Compact and White Shark plus some horribly bad book that I've forgotten the name of already. Last month I spent reading the entire works of Desmond Bagley, just old times sake. Quote
micajones Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Green Beckey. And, I won't be reading Mizz Clinton's when it's published. Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 i will steal the book and use it for shit wipe... Quote
nolanr Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Finished off Edward Abbey "A Fool's Progress," which I take to be largely autobiographical, although it is a fictional novel. Pretty interesting read. I'm most of the way thru "Summit Fever" now, enjoying that. A bumbly's perspective on a expedition to the Karakoram. Quote
ChrisT Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 "The Sexual Life of Catherine M." This french lady (Catherine Millet) did it all!! Picked it up at the public library by the by. Quote
