At the beach, nursing a hangover. What did you do for your last birthday?

Hello and enjoy the forums!

Oh, I forgot about "vicissitudes", which is a great word if a bit of a tongue twister. Barque is pretty great too.

I read from... oi, somewhere between 20 and 40 books so far this month (I have a hard time focusing), but what I've finished is so far: Harold Pinter - The Birthday Party John Ralston Saul - The Doubters Companion Margaret Atwood - Oryx & Crake Karl Marx et all - The Communist Manifesto I'm...

My favorite show(s) of all time is a toss-up between Broken Social Scene/Stars two night stand at the Marquee last January, or Death From Above 1979/Controller.Controller at the Attic in Halifax last may. (small venue+over capacity)+(Death From Above 1979+ten foot speakers)= holy crap

Totally a vampire. I'd make them cool again, less talk more rock. Last movie you saw that you really liked?

Normally when in a bookstore I go to the philosophy section, then the religious studies section (though these days there isn't anything to get there except for hundreds of books about the $#*@!#( DaVinci Code...:rolleyes: ), then poetry, fiction, and history. Occasionally I'll stop for a look...

I'm not ruining the book for myself, so I'll just read the last paragraph of the last chapter I finished. When Father Boudreau reached the head of the church, he circled the casket, waving the censer, filling the air with acrid smoke. When the censer had been placed next to the boat of...

I use a lot in parlance, but the one that I like to use the most is "harlot". Mind you, many people take exception to being called that...

Petrograd, 1917 by Albert Bainton... I think The Outsider by Albert Camus The Plague by Albert Camus The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane A book of essays on Emmanuel Kant God, I love used bookstores :)

Not a whole lot, honestly, more because I don't know an awful lot about art than anything else. Still, I like Francisco De Goya and Gustav Klimt a lot.

The New Pornographers - The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism songs shouldn't be this catchy!!

hmmm.. reading writing hitchhiking drinking cathedrals sightseeing in general cafes pubs history collecting records travelling relaxing with friends etc!

Chronicles of Narnia mostly, Where the Red Fern Grows, and lots of history books.

I probably will, I guess I just wasn't too much in the mood for it when I started it (ie 4 a.m. :P)

Its a crop of a self-portrait by Egon Schiele, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Schiele I've been going to Saint Mary's in Halifax for three years, I'm relatively indifferent to it. I read Fight Club a couple years ago, but honestly don't remember too much of it. Its been a quick read so far...

I think this thread is more or less sci-fi. Has anyone here read anything by Japanese writer Kobo Abe? He was active from the 50's up until his death in the early 90's, I believe. His books are relatively hard to find, at least around here at least. I've only ever managed to find one, Inter Ice...

Ah, the wonderful, blurred line between "best author" and "I haven't heard of any of these other guys, so I should vote for Rowling. Oh well, not too many hard feelings. I honestly don't know a terrible amount about living British writers, but it is kind of lame I feel that Harold Pinter didn't...
