Eww, bacon

I don't think I'll ever understand this

, she doesn't understand the glory of bacon.

 

[Slopsy]

Speaking of which, I'm starving

 

[liamcool]

Anyone ever read Catch 22?

 

[Axver]

Anyone ever read Catch 22?

Been meaning to.

 

[Slopsy]

Anyone ever read Catch 22?

Actually, no. Every time I see it on the bookshelf I say "I must read that", but always end up with something else.

I don't eat anything that comes from a pig.

Bugger. Read it. I've cracked up laughing at least a dozen times. And prepare to be confused.

Spoiler

So you won't eat any of Axver's chocolate?

 

[Slopsy]

I don't eat anything that comes from a pig.

Just don't like it, or is that a religion/culture thing?

 

[liamcool]

...I should SO picspam with all the books I've read this year.

I'm not a sheep today?

Rock on evolution.

I was feeling nice.

 

[Slopsy]

I'd do that too, Liam, but it'd take far too long.

I don't get i-

oh wait nevermind, yes I do

 

[liamcool]

I've only read about 25 books this year .

I could come up with a really dirty answer to this, but I'll refrain...

Just don't like it.

Actually, I'm probably around the same. I read loads and loads in the holidays, but then work and uni spoiled it

 

[liamcool]

#1, The Big Sleep. Was fairly good, 6.5/10, maybe?

 

[Slopsy]

I like your "meh" expression, Liam

Have you seen the film? It was SOOO bad, but I hear the book is loads better.

 

[liamcool]

Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. RUN FAR FAR AWAY. 2/10, was VERY disappointed.

 

[liamcool]

Really? I heard the film was quite good. It used to be a school-set text over here. The book's fairly good although probably about 40 pages too long.

 

[liamcool]

I like your "meh" expression, Liam

Why thank you.

 

[liamcool]

Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter and The Birthday Party, among others. I actually really enjoyed this one, was quite funny, great example of absurdism. 8/10

 

[liamcool]

Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. GET A COPY OF THIS. It was fucking amazing. 10/10

I hear that too, but I know my friend who loved the book was SUPER disappointed by the film. The first time I saw the movie I was just like..."the fuck?". The second time was a lot better, but still not my favorite Bogie film by a long shot. I'll give the book a chance.

 

[liamcool]

I feel sorry for you poor bastards, having to read my book cataloguing efforts. I'll only include the fiction in here, there's a few scriptwriting books nobody needs to know about.

The Zoo Story by Edward Albee. It's a bit unfocused. There's a long monologue (ten pages!) that is mostly unnecessary. Yet it provokes some really interesting issues about human communication, and fairly well written and concise. 7/10

Yeah, the books of most films are generally a lot better. I remember reading Jaws before seeing the movie and being "what the fuck" when Matt didn't get mauled by the shark.

No, this is great Liam
