I spoke recently of reading 9/11 "truth movement" books to see what it's all about.

I hate certain elements of Pop Culture.
Usually a week after ITV or the BBC ram it at us from all angles.

I just read 'Concrete Island'
it was very good, feels a bit like a sequel to 'crash'.

I reckon a b3ta book group might be interesting
any takers?
(I helped save b3ta! wynoh kills threads by his mere presence, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:44, archived)
I'd be up for that
there'd be plenty of arguing, mind.

I like arguing
provided it doesn't descend into a fight.
I like a good intellectual discussion. Any reading list suggestions?

Slaughter House V is excellent.

(I helped save b3ta! GrandmaOfShoes, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:44, archived)
kurt vonnegut?
(sp?)
i read that recently
(I helped save b3ta! manolith hooray for me, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:45, archived)
that's the one
I hear it's good.
(I helped save b3ta! spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:46, archived)
also, i thought that slaughterhouse five related to a group of 5 people too
(i'm assuming you think this way because you put 'the' at the beginning)

but it's actually the building, as in the fifth slaughterhouse
(I helped save b3ta! manolith hooray for me, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:47, archived)
so it goes.

it's a good book
enjoy!

I'm reading Bagombo Snuff Box at the moment.
It's a collection of his short stories. I find Vonnegut a bit hit and miss, though. He has a style of writing that I sometimes find really hard to get into.

I've been reading a bit of Philip K. Dick and Asimov recently, too.
(MooCow_Byter, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:49, archived)
I like Philip K Dick
Ubik was good, and A Maze of Death should be read purely for its ridiculousness.
(I helped save b3ta! spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:52, archived)
I like Ubik, haven't read the other one.
My favourite novel of his is probably A Scanner Darkly, although many of his short stories are also excellent.

Some of his books I enjoy but find really confusing and can't really make sense of without a few rereads. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, for example. But he's very good at putting you into the minds of his characters.
(MooCow_Byter, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:56, archived)
A Scanner Darkly is very good
and Do androids dream of electric sheep?.

I know what you mean - he throws you into the books headfirst. I spend 2/3rds of it going "huh?" but then suddenly it all makes sense.

I thoroughly recommend Kurt Vonnegut as an author,
and a lover.

I have been reading
books.
(I helped save b3ta! GrandmaOfShoes, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:44, archived)
Me too
some of them had words as well as pictures.

I've been reading Wind in the Willows and the "Apple tree farm" books a lot lately.
(I helped save b3ta! Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:44, archived)
the last book I read was called Mockingbird, I was told it was good and I'd enjoy it.
It was the worst book I have ever read.
(I helped save b3ta! GrandmaOfShoes, Mon 11 May 2009, 16:48, archived)
I once read The Da Vinci Code from cover to cover
simply so that I could have a valid opinion when telling my ex how completely shit it was.
