pete_inthehills Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 i don't have long legs...but i have nice hair and awesome tattoos.you certainly do have awesome tattoos. I'm not sure about the Calvin Klein top. Can you be the company secretary and wear trendy label clothes?Still, as an English student you should be able to sort out my spelling and know the correct use of flying commas (') and whether the i goes before the e or not.you get my vote just 'cos your tattoos are, as you say, awesome.

Peteinthehillshaha, that calvin klein top doesn't belong to me! honest! i was only wearing to air the tattoo anyway. and besides, i don't think there's a photo of my newest one in the galleries...that would totally over-ride the woefulness of me wearing a CK top.

I've tried to get into it a few times before to no avail, but now it's on my course i'm having another crack at it. Hope to be finished it by the end of the weekend.

KarmaTsunami Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 philosophy. and i've read that book, it's great, really well written and involving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_inthehills Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 mmmm....KarmaTsunamai...? Doesn't your keyboard have capital letters?I'm enjoying the philosophy bits, but I'm not sure about the linking sections with Sophie, her mum, the dog and the dodgy old man.What's that all about?Peteinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 holding down that shift button and pressing the letter at the same time? i mean, multi-tasking is all good and well, but it takes so much time. better to do one thing at a time. I'm just kidding. It depends how lazy I'm feeling. As for Sophie's World, it's been a few years since I read the book but I'm pretty sure everything clears up as you go along. I'm now putting it on my re-reading list that I intend to start on once i'm finished with Burroughs and Capote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_inthehills Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've just finished the book of lights and I was very impressed. Good call who ever suggested it.It is very readable once you are in to it. You wouldn't think that the life of a guy who is training to be a rabbi and then gets sent out to be a chaplin just after the Korean war would be captivating, but it was.Anyone tried his other books? Are they any good?Peteinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 i've got that but not started yet. just finished authenticity by david boyle which is pretty much nonsense! /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_inthehills Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Anyone else done Dispatches?Its not the normal thing I'd read, but it was ok. He'd taken a scatter gun approach to the war, jumping back and forwards with no real threat to link it all the storys other than the all encompassing war. I suppose that's how it was in real life.Peteinthehills.PS I'm running out of book ideas. More suggestions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Suggestions:Alasdair Gray - LanarkAnything by Ian Banks, I'd start with The Wasp Factory or The Bridgeand you can never go wrong with some Haruki Murakami! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the culture ship names in the Ian M books. Deep with double meanings.PeteinthehillsPS. If I like these, you realise that I'll back with more requests!

KarmaTsunami Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 i can't believe i forgot to mention Alan Warner. 'Morvern Callar' is his best-known work, but 'The Sopranos' is easily my favourite of his. Apparently they're making it into a film, and they'd better not fucking ruin it.

pete_inthehills Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 ...and they'd better not fucking ruin it.Oh man! I hate it when they do that. I've always got my preconceived ideas about how a character would look and act and they totally fuck with it. It never works.The only way they should do it, is to get me as characterisation dude and I'd keep them straight.Peteinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
