Nope, it impresses me. But I'm a nerd, so maybe I'm not the best barometer...also the book is v. important...airport novels are a big no-no for mesarah said:So does it work the other way round?

Imagine my horror when I discovered that a biography of Wittgenstein actually made me less attractive??!!! I mean, why the hell am I reading this?Cormcolash said:See this is my problem, otherwise I would be God.

Um well to be honest I don't really read sci-fi meself, I must confess, apart from the odd dabble. However your point stands...not that that's much of a reason to start reading him mindCormcolash said:Well I saw a girl reading a Raymond Feist book in work one day, but I can't remember if she was nice-looking or not, and I didn't go up and say hello. Actually I don't think it makes any difference in girls, especially considering that most people read books I consider shite anyway (without ever having read them).
In fairness Jimmy if we read Philip K Dick novels all the time, girls might think it was cool just because people have actually heard of him.

T'was a nice chat
great book; all the pills on the frontroxy said:Me is reading Valley of the Dolls. Was nearly put off by the fact that it had 'The Cult Classic' across the bottom of the cover in fairly large letters. You know the way it is with thses cult classics. But it's terrific. Have about 10 pages left. I get back to yiz with the final verdict.
Rent out the movie when you're done with it. It's deadly.Jimmy Magee said:Was reading: Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead be Tom Stoppard...very odd indeed but fairly amusing...the jokes probably work a lot better if you can actually see them...

Snowblind is a great book.sarah said:Just finished a confederacy of Dunces which is brilliant, am now reading Snow Blind , Robert Sabbag, which I like lot so far.
Let us know how you get on with the Roth one I've heard good thingschoking_tara said:Snowblind is a great book.
I have just finished "Edie" by Jean Stein and George Plimpton. A great book about one of Andy Warhol's Starlings. Really depresing but extremely fascinating at the same time. More info on her here
And I am just starting Portnoy's Complaint by Roth which looks quite good so far.
This is early Roth though ie. not as political and more of a sense of humour.sarah said:Let us know how you get on with the Roth one I've heard good things
about that book, but am weary of him after being bored all the way through
American Pastoral, have to stop finishing books out of principle.
