bDubyaH Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 just read: for whom the bell tolls. Hemmingway just started: the souls of black folks. W.E.B. Du Bois Quote
griz Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) Aron Ralston's book on his ordeal..."Between a rock and hard a place". Good read. The dude is a shit magnet after reading about some of his other stories though... Example: His very first overnighter results in his camp getting trashed by a black bear and then being stalked by the same bear as he post holed his way out in the Tetons. Check out the attachment for some pics that he took of himself while trapped. Warning: one pic is of his trapped hand AFTER amputation...gross but interesting. Edited October 25, 2004 by griz Quote

After reading several of the stories I'd say "dumb ass". repeated badluck isn't luck.

mtn_mouse Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Reading "Alaska Ascents" by Bill Sherwonit. But the story of Krakauer climbing Devils Thumb solo is a bit far fetched to believe! Quote
Squid Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 'The Fencing Master' Arturo Perez-Reverte. fun adventure story-read it!! 'Quicksilver' Neal Stephenson - kind of a disapointment, given his other stuff 'The Tipping Point' Malcolm Gladwell - ho-hum sociology-lite. 'Culture Jam' Kalle Lasn - good sociology-lite. 'Pillow Problems and a Tangled Tale' Lewis Carroll (try it, you'll like it) 'The Protestant Ethic and the "Spirit of Capitalism' Max Weber (the jury is out on this one) Quote

cj001f Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 'Quicksilver' Neal Stephenson - kind of a disapointment, given his other stuff I just finished "system of the world" Decidely not worth it. Someone needs to hire Stephenson an editor. Quote

Dru Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Just finished "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell", Susanna Clarke. Next up the AAJ, when it fucking arrives that is my copy is stuck in a pile of 150,000 unsorted pieces of mail at Canada Customs because the stupid border guards union is working to rule Quote
murraysovereign Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Actually, the backlog is due to the US Postal Service deciding to send all Canadian-bound mail to only three centres - Vancouver, Toronto, and Halifax I think - instead of the six or seven they used to send things to. So the Vancouver mail sorting and customs clearance centre saw its incoming volume more than double a few weeks ago. Customs has sent additional people to help clear the resulting backlog, but it's going to take a while yet. Not sure why the US post office decided to stop sending mail through Calgary, Winnipeg, etc... Oh, and I've just started reading "Alexander the Great", and am about half-way through Shakespeare's "Henry V" - should finish it tonight, as I'm just about at the battle of Agincourt. Quote
Dru Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Well while I wait for the AAJ to come the next two books in the stack are "Chicot the Jester" -Alexandre Dumas, and "Emma" - Jane Austen that ought to take a week or ten days to get through those. Quote
