    RE: Literary Corner

    Best part there? there was the fact that for once, it was a totally reallistic human game.

    HAR!!

    TOP THAT, VAMPIRE!

     

    And dude, The TC style? Kinda bland...

     

    I totally expected more from it.. and it was.. like.. totally bland. I think we are loosing way too much changing from the characters you guys have used for 3 years to this new ones.. For this story at least, they are kind of naive and uncanningly disassociated to the great things around them.

    RE: Literary Corner

    I even have a picture of ol' Arkady Konstantin...

    You know, before that ******* ate him. :'(

    Alas, I never played in that one session -way back- that gave the game its name. I was fast asleep on a nearby couch while 5 grown up man were scared ****less by how horrific and creepy and utterly freaky the campaign was.

    When the light's suddenly flickered (we live in the third world after all =P) -or the door slammed shut by the wind, I don't recall- this tall drunkard of a friend gave a little scared yelp.

    And I wasn't able to play it.

    RE: Literary Corner

    Well I have started another TP book "Monsterous Regiment". About 1/4 done and it is okay so far I'll let you know when I get done. That is if I get done, I don't seem to have much time to read.

    I picked up the Sharpe's series because of there mention here. Only read one so far but it has made my list of to read in the future.

    Also been thinking about reading Number of the Beast by Robert Heinlein. It has been a long time since I read it. Not sure I even remenber what it was about.


    H-here, b-bunny, bunny, bunny...

    RE: Literary Corner

    The other day, faced with the choice of going to sleep in time and enjoy a nice normal 8 hours of sleep and not doing so, I read the whole of Orwell's Animal Farm.

    That book rocks so hard it could kill someone if it fell on their crotch.

    You know the one I'm talking about right? The one in which the animals of the farm revolt against the farmer and establish a republic of their own? One sweet pice of novella action, I tell you right now! :p Indeed, I became so obsessed with the work that there's even one reference to it in comic #82!

    Not only is it funny, but it's one of them works that really leaves you thinking when you turn the last page. And I got almost all of the historical references (which animal represented what) right.

    Almost made me feel happy about wasting my infance away reading history books.

    RE: Literary Corner

    Yeah I ended up reading that out of boredom in my history class, I would always get way far ahead of everyone on projects so i would sleep in the class when i had nothing else to do. unfortunatly the teacher was paranoid she would get in trouble if the principal walked in and saw a student sleeping in class so she handed me that book and told me to read it. It was pretty cool.

    Hehe thinking about my 11th grade history class reminds me of the subject of the whole "Red Invasion" commie scare around the cold war time. We played this game in class where all of us got slips of paper and some of them had marks on them which ment we where a communist. The object of the game was to be the largest group without a communist in it or (if you where a commie) get into a group without anyone knowing you where a commie.

    I won by being a paranoid isolationist. I was the largest group without a commie as a group of one.

    We played this game many times and the second time i decided to become a commie... my paper didn't have a mark this time either but it did after i altered it... as did the next and the next. Soon all but 1 person in the class was a commie. Communist take over! yay!

    In my country, if youre rumored to be a pinko, they put you in a line, shoot the lot of you and your fellow bread-line-stander commies and charge each family with the same bullet that was used to shoot you all.

    RE: Literary Corner

    Hadn't had the chance to log into the forums for a bit, so this is a sorta late post. Finished reading Eric from Terry Pratchett's discworld. While not as great IMHO as Thief of Time, for example, the book is a very good (and quick) read if you enjoy Pratchett's style of humor. Just so you know .

    RE: Literary Corner

    Anyone reading anything nice this time a year?

    Im in the midst of finishing The Da Vinci Code, Coraline and The Endless Endbook. And god dammit, They have been three quite different but quite enjoyable little adventures in the human mind.

    Anyone here has read Mythago Wood and its subsequential books? Im trying hard to find them to no avail.

    And i saw a fat cool ass book on magic and Alchemistic lore that has me craving for it like a chubby little twerp craves a donnut filled with sweetened lard.

    And that was frickin disgusting.

     

    Regards,

    Love,

    Cheers,

    Mike.

    RE: Literary Corner

    I am in the middle of His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman. A very good trilogy of books. Technically children's books they do read like adult books and I like them a lot. Haven't quite finished the third book yet.
