― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't get anything, though.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 10:53 (twenty-one years ago)

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

4X Angela Carter...Susan Faludi - Stiffed

you're totally joking right? you're pulling the proverbial? if not, this explains SO much; if so, maybe after all, you are a master of rhetoric - you are the ur-reel-'em-inner.

at least they were cheap.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't worry E. she likes Murakami

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Angela Carter's fucking superduper

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I loved 'Backlash', too!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Gee whizz I can't wait to read "Expletives Deleted", hoo boy

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

No offence/disrespect meant to Murakami fans in general, sorry guys

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 9 October 2003 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i like everything, actually. including carter etc.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Thursday, 9 October 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

What a big ol' bully!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Thursday, 9 October 2003 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

whats wrong with susan faludi? i've never read any angela carter.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 10 October 2003 01:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey I like Murakami! I'm SO fucking offended. Really though, why don't you like him? (Obv there are plenty of reasons not to, I'd just be interested to hear yours etc.)

― Livvie (Livvie), Friday, 10 October 2003 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never read him, but everything I've ever read about him just makes him sound really really NOT MY THING. Teenage tragiromantic nostalgia and stuff and magic realism which I'm pretty iffy about (I like it when Gabriel Garcia Marquez does it, I guess). E. started one of books and was too bored to continue once, I hate to criticise things people like but 'Clare' was being a cock/applying her blundering brand of "sarcasm"/replacing Adrian and his vital presence/hassling E's taste so I made an exception. Sorry!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 10 October 2003 06:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Please criticise more stuff I like, if you want to. I like hearing other people's thoughts on things, just I don't like it when they're completely unfounded.

― Livvie (Livvie), Friday, 10 October 2003 06:13 (twenty-one years ago)

critics are fun arent they. um the public library counts eh? library: aldo, indexing from a to z, science fiction art, passage. not from the library: david boring, i saw easau. wow this is like book group without the tv.

― ducklingmonster, Friday, 10 October 2003 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes critics are fun, I'd quite like to be one actually. It'd be great if we were like the Book Group, and having just thought about that there are some similarities.

― Livvie (Livvie), Saturday, 11 October 2003 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

did angela carter write that wolf story? i know, how vague.

i just got when things fall apart at the library, it's a buddhist book. i started out liking it but it got a bit much after a while, especially when she started saying like "explore the shit...what is its texture, its feel" tho i'm sure she didnt mean literal shit, it was still a bit much

― black plastic (black plastic), Monday, 13 October 2003 00:56 (twenty-one years ago)

University booksale, these were $2 each; Elias Canetti 'The Tongue Set Free' and 'The Torch in My Ear', Angela Carter 'The Magic Toyshop', John Barth 'Giles Goat-Boy', Henry James 'Roderick Hudson', William Golding 'The Paper Men'. Yippee!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 09:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I went in again, narrowly missed Elisabeth, and got this Stevie Smith book "Novel on Yellow Paper", too. I read a little, it looks good.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I went twice this week as well for the $2 books: Flann O'Brien - the Hard Life, William Golding - Pincher Martin, George Orwell - the English People, A choice of Christina Rossetti's verse, Samuel Beckett - Endgame and this book on silk screening.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I forgot, three by Flannery O'Connor. Livvie, I got you Caracole too.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I also forgot James Baldwin - the Price of the Ticket

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Thursday, 16 October 2003 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

All thanks to Elisabeth- William Burroughs "Place of Dead Roads", Samuel Beckett "Happy Days", Italo Calvino "Under the Jaguar Sun", "The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz" (which is really pretty useful and interesting, so far)

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 19 October 2003 09:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead
William Faulkner - The Sound and the Fury

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Sunday, 19 October 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Nostromo in Grey Lynn! Laurence Sterne's "A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy", which ended up pretty much free, and Donald Barthelme's "Paradise" which didn't.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 20 October 2003 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

hey, is brent back @ nostromo, or still on his sentimental journey through france & italy (& germany & england & etc)?

― etc, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Well he wasn't there, just two guys a girl and a dog.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 07:14 (twenty-one years ago)

A BIG dog

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Miles Davis/Quincy Troupe 'Miles: The Autobiography' from that little place in St Kevin's arcade, and today Thomas Pynchon 'Mason and Dixon' from Orewa.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 30 October 2003 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Let's not forget BSC books 1 and 2!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Thursday, 30 October 2003 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Today I got and that Introducing Kafka book that Robert Crumb illustrated, Rimbaud's collected poems and Kant's Metaphysics of Morals from upstairs at UBS. They've got a buy two, get one free thing going at the moment.

― Minty (Minty), Friday, 31 October 2003 01:00 (twenty-one years ago)

holy fuck.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 31 October 2003 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

from the library: "another century of war?" by gabriel kolko and "dreaming war: blood for oil and the cheney-bush junta" by gore vidal.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 31 October 2003 06:05 (twenty-one years ago)

that introducing kafka book is GREAT, the illustrations are so appropriately fucked-up and claustrophobic and creepy.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 31 October 2003 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I've read most of the Davis book already, I like it a lot. It's up to where he's forming the "fusion" quartet, basically. Both his parents have died recently and he's kinda bummed out. Coltrane's gone solo and he's hassling free jazz a fair bit, we were doing that instant interplay thing already but w/structure, he says.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 31 October 2003 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

BOOK FAIR! Paul Bowles "The Sheltering Sky", Evelyn Waugh "Work Suspended", J.D. Salinger "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters"/"Seymour", Graham Greene "Stamboul Train", Anthony Burgess "The Malayan Trilogy", Elias Canetti "Auto Da Fe", Flann O'Brien "Myles Away from Dublin". Hoo yeah.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 2 November 2003 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Finished the Miles tonight, the whole thing was great if a little depressing towards the end where he's STILL not over his prejudices and constantly on the verge of severe illness. He did die a couple of years later, I guess, so that's how it goes

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 2 November 2003 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

from the library i borrowed emily bronte's wuthering heights. this will be my celebratory "i'm on HOLDIDAY FOR FOUR MONTHS!!!" read, and you know, since i heart the song so much.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 2 November 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I got "hell to pay" all about crazy mary jane smoking teens who want to take over the crime underworld. Ethnic(polish etc) teens of course. finished reading it if anyone wants a 1958 story of grimy america.

― Menelaus Darcy (Menelaus Darcy), Monday, 3 November 2003 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

lemme know what you think of the salinger, andrew: "seymour" is certainly his strangest work.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 3 November 2003 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I read it one time before, I think, YEARS ago. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but it's very sad, isn't it?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 3 November 2003 10:25 (twenty-one years ago)

dorothy allison - bastard out of carolina, cavedweller

Fuck, I'm thinking of "A Good Day for Bananafish", aren't I.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

PERFECT maybe Andrew, and I took a look at 'Seymour', it certainly isn't "sad". I'm sure I'll read it reasonably soon. I just started the Waugh today.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

"perfect day," yeah. you should also read "franny and zooey," if you haven't already. supposedly salinger's got about 15 more books about the glass family in his safe which won't be published till he dies.

haha di good luck with "ulysses," even i haven't dared it yet.

e: i've been wanting to read "letters to milena" for a while, she had a pretty interesting life.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a Cabaret Voltaire song about them as well, too bad that most of it is unintelligible.

― Schwingung (Damian), Monday, 5 January 2004 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i've been putting lots of stuff aside or taking stuff home, but haven't uh purchased anything for a while. as soon as i get some shelves!

― etc, Sunday, 18 January 2004 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno what that book's like yet, but the Purdy I've read (which I'm pretty sure amounts to "Mourners Below") is really good slightly sexual/physical Southern US crap, so hopefully that'll live up to those standards

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 18 January 2004 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

holy christ

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

No, tho I've had "Winesburg, Ohio" sitting around in my room for about 8 years. Flannery's "Wise Blood" is GREAT tho, I'll recommend that instead.

Richard Meltzer "A Whore Just Like the Rest" and what I read on the bus was really great

― Silly Sailor (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 11 February 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

It's kinda weird he loves the Minutemen but doesn't give much of a shit for Creedence, tho I think that will make more sense once I read the whole thing (I think he calls the Minutemen "metarock" (Yes! he does! Congratulations me I can recall something I read a few hours ago), but I dunno really how a position of revering the "past" (their version of it obv, being about a digest of it sort of) in the case of Creedence is any worse than a sort of aboverock picking and choosing from lots of stuff position (Minutemen), tho maybe it makes things more (sonically or whatever) interesting? Except I don't think the Minutemen are THAT much more "interesting" than Creedence). Maybe CCR just didn't rock him. Once again, I should try reading the whole book first. They both like Converse and flannel shirts, anyway.

screw the bookstore! Libraries all the way!
today in my local (neighbourhood) library there was a man on the phone to a counciller complaining loudly and repeatedly of an "EXPLOSION OF DIORRHEA" in the public toilets next to the library. (Those abominable automatic cubicle thingies).
I got Lonely Planet Seoul guide, Yoga for Dummies, some book about a river, and a nice fat novel by a Scot (A.L. Kennedy), and a book by someone w/ Tourettes.

William Burroughs "Cities of the Red Night", free off E. Nearly read it all last night/today on the bus (up to book three), it's very very good, and weirdly has virtually no disruptions to the narratives so far (well nearly, or at least they're done very smoothly and in context w/what's happening plotwise w/timetravel or death sex rituals or whatever) and for him it's def kinda odd I think. Spectra I hope you can work out some way of getting money together!
