It depends on what I've eaten of course, but my phobia of sh*tting in public makes it worse. I mean, I can tinkle in a public restroom, but nothing else, so every once in a while, I get caught in a vicious needing-to-poo-farting-cycle and can't get myself home to my own comfy toilet. But...

Yeah, the rule I remember most was "All animals are equal" got the addition of something like "but some are more equal than others." I always felt really hopeful right at first, before Napoleon drove Snowball off or killed him or whatever. Man, it's so subversive, but I wanted, nah still...

I just read "The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracies at Home and Abroad" by Fareed Zakariah. Damn, I think I love this man, even when I'm totally disagreeing with him. Hot, smart, not to mention so freakin reasonable and charming. Funny too, I totally loved him on John Stewart's show...

I'm not sure I could get through it lovermuffin. I found the movie so disturbing I vomited three times while me and my ex watched it, he was one of those "Kubrick is a god" or whatever type of film buffs. It's not that I don't appreciate the general message I guess (or what I recall...

Best Concert, hmm. . . Prince, until this latest tour last year. Not that it was bad, just not on par with the three I had seen before. His shows were always really incredible, fiery, and totally hot. David Bowie puts on an awesome show too.

I forgot. White Zombie's cover of "Boogie Man" cracked me up.

I like James A Michener. He usually takes a region, and just totally exploits the whole history of it from different character's viewpoints. Some of his stuff is boring, reads like textbooks, like Iberia and Carribean. He was kind of phoning it in on those IMHO. But Hawaii was...

Dolly Parton's cover of Collective Soul's "Heaven Let Your Light Shine Down". The original just made me sort of laugh at the grinding guitar and the random "Yeah"s, but Parton made it a very beautiful song about faith. It's not exactly a cover, but I always really liked Puff Daddy's use...

Good point Tom. I wouldn't say "worst I ever read", but most philosophical writers aren't great in a literary sense, no matter how worthy of respect they are in the former field. On topic. Worst book I ever read. . . some trash by Kathleen Woodwiss where the heroine got raped in the first...

Omigosh, I have no idea how many. They're literally my decor around here. I've actually thought about throwing out living room seating for more bookcases. As it is, I have to make end tables from my books to have room for them. Jackie Kennedy-Onassis apparently did that, its where I...

I like The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Going for really broad and general suggestion beyond that, I would choose from 20th century authors. Because when you get back further into the romanticism school of writing, it's tougher reading, even if you find that you do enjoy it...

If you need a recent example, the plot of The Pact by Jodi Picoult is enjoyable reading, and its about (duh) a suicide pact.

Hi all, I'm new here. Most dissappointing author, hmm. . . Margaret Georges. She's fictionalizing the lives of some of the most intriguing women in history, and if one finds that exciting (I do), then she seems like a great pick. Then you start reading, and guess what? All the interest...
