I am sure I'l get some boos from the crowd for that.

What is Anarchism? -- Alexander Berkman.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I read Out of the Silent Planet by CS Lewis yesterday, for the third or fourth time.

That was a pretty good book. Never could get into the sequels, though...

I really liked Perelandra. Just finished it again. Wasn't a huge fan of the 3rd, though.

I'm re-reading A Feast For Crows, by George R.R. Martin, and looking for something else to read after that.

 

[Canterbury]

I was asked this very question by a journalism lecturer.

'Unix in 24 hours', I reluctantly admitted.
'Eunuchs?!' he jibed.

Using my statement, he went on to prove why journalists aren't well liked.

And how are you supposed to learn Unix in 24 hours btw...

What is Anarchism? -- Alexander Berkman.

I picked up "Bakunin on Anarchy: Selected Works by the Activist-Founder of World Anarchism" a few weekends ago at the Annual Anarchist Bookfair in London. And yes, that's what I'm reading right now.

I finished reading Dante's Inferno, but i'll keep the Purgatory and Heaven for next time. It's very hard and tiresome to read, i'll finish it eventualy.

Try reading it aloud and see how the poetry comes alive.

I think i'll start reading the Ramayana next.

Did anybody read it ? Is it enjoyable ?

Yes and it's enjoyable. Bear in mind Homer's Odyssey when reading it. They are very much similar stories. Tulsidasa's version is most accessible and yet avoids the common modern distortions.

 

[FriendlyFire]

The Taking - Kootz
(Hmmmm BRAINSSSSSS)

 

[Heretic_Cata]

That would be wierd.

I got to page 80 and i already love it. It is easy to read.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Just started (and finished) Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. A nice break from my schoolwork.

 

[Ansar]

The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass, a Autobiography.

 

[Rambuchan]

Excellent piece of history that one Ansar. An amazing human story. I was especially impressed with how Douglass taught himself to read. It should really be a part of the US school curriculum. Is it? Is that why you are reading it? For school / college?

Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett.

Is it the first time you're reading Pratchett?
I'm a big pterry fan, I've read most of his books ten times or something. Oh, and I don't know if you're reading in English or Swedish, but personally I vastly prefer the English ones.

I read in BOTH swedish and english! And it's not the first time I read Terry Pratchett books. In the swedish translation, Granny Weatherwax is called Mormor Vädervax! Pathetic.
