I was tired and did something silly which won't seem important if I tell you. Basically I just trod on someone's toes REALLY badly

food is for chumps
I've got guinea pigs to clean. What are you having, then?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:13, Reply)

Fajitas this evening.
Quick and easy and tasty as well.

Can't go wrong with that, can I?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:24, Reply)

nice.
I reckon there's something I could put in the oven in a bit, only I've not cleaned the oven yet and it makes smoke everywhere :(

Clean as in "gut and skin"?
I hear they're quite tasty.

Actually, not so much cats.
carnivore taste rank. dog's are probably OK though

does that mean you are more delicious than the rest of us?

Most likely.
I'm also bigger than most of you, in better shape than most of you and very good at improvising weapons from household objects so you'll never know. :P

my archery training - I've got a 22lb recurve bow within two paces of me right now and about to purchase a 24lb one. I'll have shot you three times before you can get near me, mortal

Interesting point.
Perhaps we should team up and eat dozer, he's lean and tender.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:02, Reply)

True.
I am also veggie, so will taste nearly as good as I look.

Excellent, we are decided.
unless you have some unmentioned skill with weapons or martial arts?

also, if you can cook
I don't fancy him raw

Better than you I can cook
Also pretty good with knives, I reckon I could turn my hand to butchery.

it's a deal then
I'll take him down with my bow, you chop him up and cook him. I guess that means I'm washing up, too
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:07, Reply)

Damn right.
If there are three things I hate, they are washing up and maths.

To paraphrase Pynchon (and therefore come across all Dozer-like)
Education is learning the difference between wine WITH a meal and wine FOR a meal.

I'm being uneducated this evening.

I feel I owe it to myself

( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:29, Reply)

I quite like Pynchon
But I struggle with Gravity's Rainbow.

That's a paraphrased quote
From "Against The Day" - which is both his best and worst book as far as I'm concerned.

"Inherent Vice" - his latest - is gorgeous although you really need to read "Vineland" first to know who the characters are.

There's a QOTW poster called Pig Bodine which always pleases me.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:42, Reply)

I love American fiction.
The wised up, sarcastic, pomo stuff the most. My favourite authors are Williams Burroughs, Bret Easton Ellis, JG Ballard and John Berger.

And yes, I know Ballard and Berger were/ are from the UK, I was just sayin' is all.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:44, Reply)

Ever read any Robert Stone?
Along the same lines - I'd suggest "Hall of Mirrors" to start with. DON'T start with "Bear And His Daughter."
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:47, Reply)

never read any Berger fiction
although I own one, whichever one won the booker a couple of years back. It was cheap in The Works.

Now 'Ways of Seeing' I am quite quite familiar with. It is the same person, right?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:47, Reply)

It is indeed.
I am assuming the one you got was either G. or To The Wedding?

The best Berger fiction I have read is the Into Their Labours trilogy.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:49, Reply)

I'm, going to guess G
since there wasn't much in the way of words on the cover.

Ways of Seeing remains one of the most useful, insightful yet accessible accounts of visual culture. They reran the documentaries from the 70s on bbc 4 a little while ago, makes me long for the days when documentaries weren't all about 'taking an amazing journey' and were instead a shit load of interesting information and in depth analysis

He's new to me and I'll try him
Further recommendation - "Last Exit To Brooklyn" - Hubert Selby.

Read that, then read "The Room."
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:53, Reply)

I love Last Exit to Brooklyn.
A stunning accomplishment when you consider what he overcame.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:54, Reply)

I love you for loving that book
Because there aren't many people who can stomach it.

Have you read "The Room"?

That intensifies the whole thing. Evil seeps out of that book.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 18:57, Reply)

Haven't read any other Hubert Selby Jnr.
I saw the film of Requiem For a Dream and thought it was terrible.

I don't see how people wouldn't be able to stomach it. American Psycho maybe, but Last Exit is quite tame.

I am currently reading Tropic of Cancer. I am taking it slowly so I can savour the whole thing, it's that kind of book.

I also love Don DeLillo, he writes sentences that you could hang on your wall, they are that beautiful.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:02, Reply)

If I was gay I'd be well into you!
Have a full shelf of DeLillo. Libra turns your head ten different ways.

Underworld is Velvet Underground in words.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:05, Reply)

Underworld is beautiful.
But my favourite DeLillo is White Noise.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:08, Reply)

Where do I start on John Berger?
You need to try Robert Stone - Hall of Mirrors, Dog Soldiers or A Flag For Sunrise.

I can't participate in the new thread because I don't do games.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 4 Dec 2011, 19:20, Reply)

read Pig Earth, then Once in Europa, then Lilac & Flag.
