Recently finished this too. Pretty good story - gotta give a hand to the author for dealing with her chronic illness and researching and writing. Still plowing through "Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature" by Harry Green - almost my Phd prof at UC Berkley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I'm reading a good anthology - I think it's called "Climbing :Stories of survival on rock, ice and snow". Something like that. Found it at the library. I'm really into NF these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 that sounds pretty shitty, dru! why not step up to breton, or lateral over to tristan tzara? (but i do like jarry!) I've just read, "it's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be," "the paradox box" shambala press "the writers legal guide" and reread Roald Dahls' "kiss Kiss" or, outdoor books? "on ice and snow and rock" by gaston rebauffat and "high adventure" by bob and ira spring....great pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times that coffee spurted out of my nose or I laughed out loud are too numerous to count. Simply fuckin' hilarious book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 "a walk in the woods" was pretty funny, indeed... bryson's tales of amateur thru hiking on the apalatian trail is a rib tickler. in "High Adventure" there are pictures of people, they're all climbing in wool or cotton, without a belay device in sight! They're all doing the dulfsitz manuever and wearing triconis! there's even a picture of young louis whittaker- man, did bob and ira have some hottie wives! Norma and patrica, i salute you for putting up with some real dirtbags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Someone posted a few weeks ago that they were reading a book on the partition of India and Pakistan. What was that book title and was it any good? Looking for something on the subject. Thanks.

Dru Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 ehmmic said: the "Tao of Pooh" WARNING: Don't bother to read the sequel "The Te of Piglet" It will make you dislike the author and then you will not like his first book either!
