what book you reading at the moment? (incl poll)

Ulysses- Aha! Now you have fallen into the trap! See even if it was crap (which I dont think it is) all anyone will say to you is 'You must'nt have understood it'. Which is possible and understandable unless you've read a load about Joyce before hand.[/QUOTE]
true, The jury is still out on ulysees, even profs of eng lit cant agree

I am a bit thick, especially when it comes, to eng literature, so I didnt get it, therefore its shit

 

[odyssey]

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller and
Of mice and men by John Steinbeck

Flicking through a couple at the moment.... John Pilger "New Rulers Of The World" and Ben Kiernan's "How Pol Pot Came To Power".

I once read this book called, 'the bible'. I thought the origin of species was messed up.

It about this dude named God who spends the first half of the book being a total prick then changes his way and sends his son to say ' I'm sorrry'... until they kill him... I hope I didn't ruin the book for any of you.

Don't worry, like any good novel, he comes back for a short time and tried to tie the whole book up real tidy like.

Then they give all sorts of 'end of world' dribble....
"this is the end of the world... Horse horsemen and burning souls."

Actually, it reads very much like a cheesy hollywood Blockbuster. Maybe someone should make a movie out of it.

The Wedding scene with the water and wine. Brilliant.

Not to mention the fact that the Son, I think he is hispanic cause his name is Jesus, He has this hooker as a girlfrind but his mother is in denial of her per marriage pregnancy. And his Mother, I think the name was mary, she thinks that angels knocked her up... And her husband, Joey, He just looks the other way.

Classic stuff.

Real cutting edge material...

Did I forget to mention the mini porn early on... with this naked chick and her man and her apple and his snake? Someone ate the apple, if you know what I mean.... and that guy 'God' caught them and kicked them out of his backyard. But he was 'all knowing' so he knew already... So why did he let them go it?

They say the snake told them to....

It's happened to me before.

I remember this time I went to the Pub and met this little lady... The snake told me to eat that apple too...

I think we can all relate...

John Pilger "New Rulers Of The World"

Quite a fascinating book, I thought you read that already !
Provides a good counter to all the media propaganda that is out there

Nah, that was his other one, 'Hidden Agendas', also very enlightening.

I'm rereading "Trinity" by Leon Uris (RIP) as one of my cousins is a screenwriter and he has all the cousins reading it as it's been optioned for production. He wants our input.

BTW Any suggestions feens, of the non-sarcastic variety, are welcomed.

Reading Treasure Island at the mo

 

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Anything by Thomas Keneally kicks ass. Everybody knows Schindlers Ark but thats just scratching the surface. The Great Shame is excellent. He traces his & his wifes decendants back to the time of the Famine & traces some of the Fenians transported at the time & their role in the US civil war & beyond. His (I think) great-great-great-great grandfather was a Fenian from the Mitchelstown area.
