PostPost subject: discussion of literary endeavours? nah... Reply with quote

well, i thought i'd start a thread about real-live books and stuff.

anything's eligible for discussion really, fantasy, poetry, anything really.

me, i have recently taken a liking to old (1920's-40's) children's books, like enid blyton, winnie the pooh and the like. i find them interesting, but hey, i sit in bed for half an hour playing with a bit a denim just to feel it in my hands... my fun-sense-o-meter is all screwy, but hell, if it makes everything fun, it can't be too bad.

Quote:
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
>"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
>"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

"It's the same thing really."


i love it, simple pleasures i guess.

my other kind of favourite book is the sort with violence.

ones about people who kill for sport, and are completely insane, though in an understandable way. kind of like my insane-ness, but much killy-er.

If you have a blank CD chuck it my way. Or go to the video shop when you're 18. It's rated R Wink

I only have the computer file for it. It's in Japanese though, subtitles included.
