YesssSSs...Let THE ha-TRED flow through you...Hard-en.Hither with eternity IN STONE. Let these words pet-ri-fy upon your PALING lips: Damned IS man in his ignor-ANCE, best not to read into its lines, ne-ver staBLE, fluctu-ating always in bloom AND wither. Now, invoke the gar-GOYLE.
*cast iron bells tolls*

Well, shucks Hally. Guess that's the last ring. We always mean to stay swell about it all but damned if you do, damned if ya' don't.

Some scorn the cacophony of life's empty tit. Others leave madness to do it for them. To burn all that they have made themselves to be demands no greater respect than the well-wishing ignorance of their beholden, with not more than a salute and a brief word of their elected erasure.

Currently reading/listening to this:

Quite interesting, it's a good combo of ethics and neuroscience.

The chaplain to King Charles I, Edward Simmons described a Cavalier as "a Child of Honour, a Gentleman well borne and bred, that loves his king for conscience sake, of a clearer countenance, and bolder look than other men, because of a more loyal Heart."

1642 (June 10) Propositions of Parlt. in Clarendon v. (1702) I. 504 Several sorts of malignant Men, who were about the King; some whereof, under the name of Cavaliers, without having respect to the Laws of the Land, or any fear either of God or Man, were ready to commit all manner of Outrage and Violence. 1642 Petition Lords & Com. 17 June in Rushw. Coll. III. (1721) I. 631 That your Majesty..would please to dismiss your extraordinary Guards, and the Cavaliers and others of that Quality, who seem to have little Interest or Affection to the publick Good, their Language and Behaviour speaking nothing but Division and War.
�Oxford English Dictionary "Cavalier"

Halfway-ish through The Hobbit.

Haven't read it since I was like 12. And that was in Norwegian.

Also started reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation books. Finished the first one during xmas

Emersonian Transcendental mostly. Sometimes hobbit sometimes Arthur c Clarke.
Really enjoyed Justine. My all time favorite is about a renegade dark elf named drizzt
Keep kicking ass with your funny book title thread though

There isn't much tourist stuff to see / do in Oxford.

I am almost done with Arc Light by Eric L. Harry... Pretty good techno-thriller. Horribly depressing/intense introduction and it never really lets up in its darkness. Captures the confusion and brutality of modern combat pretty well I think, and one of the best nuclear war depictions I've read or seen (and that is almost all of them).

Been trying to get on with Clash of Kings, but am just not interested for whatever reason. I just bought the final book in Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam trilogy, and The Orenda by Joseph Boyden, both of which I'm dying to dig into. So I will prob just do that.

Posted by Joss Weatherby on Feb-15-2014 02:59:

What else did I read in my absence... I re-read Neuromancer. I read the Red Effect, another cold war gone hot book, which is a series (heard the second one is good too, and the third one is coming out soon). I re-read the first two books of We Were Crew Dogs, which is a collection of stories from B-52 crews during the cold war and Vietnam... I also re-read Warthog, which recounts stories from A-10 pilots during Desert Storm, and started in on Strike Eagle which is by the same author, but recounts stories from F-15E drivers and WSOs.

Uh so yea been on a military fiction/non-fiction kick.

Reading a bunch of shit for school, but for fun I just finished Pattern Recognition. Greatly enjoyed it. Not sure what I'm going to pick up next. Either Levels of the Game, by McPhee, or The Sleepwalkers, by Clark.
