so.. what are you reading?

[Annastefka]

Hey, checked out the Christmas stuff you were talking about...nice...I had no idea....I love Christmas time, Christmas music...everything that comes along with Christmas. The "Saw" is a very popular musical device in Athens right now....the kids seem to think you can go out to the shed and get any ole saw and make it do that. I just tonight, found my youngest daughters hermit crab in her bedroom...and I really believe that it hasn't been fed for at least two months...I don't know how the thing has survived....no water....it's a miracle. It's possible, he/she has been crawling into the kitchen at night and eating out of the compost bucket....no, the dogs would have eaten it....I really am baffled....I forgot "We" even had a hermit crab....life can get so weird.

[Robert]

I am absolutely at awe. A pet hermit crab

as for the yin yang twins...oh my !
I feel so terribly sorry for you, time to get the young ones headphones me thinks.
It's a shame you're a hippie, if not you could've gone gestapo on their hifi

[Annastefka]

I'm such a hippie...I've gone to eatingabout 75% raw foods and because I don't shave my underarms, I find myself getting turned on by my own smell in the morning. It's really strange, I love the smell of "guy" underarm....and now, I have the same smell that I love so much.....It's sort of exciting. Even though all of this is true, I love coming to Freakscene and writing BS on the computer, while I have cookies baking in the oven, my husband on the cell phone with me (he is on his way home,yeah), Kyoko, our Japanese friend chatting with me on Facebook (she thinks she might be pregnant, uhhhhohhh) and some little hand sewing I'm doing in my lap. Dog sleeping at my feet. God, life is so good right now.

[Robert]

I can't even begin to imagine how to think about answering your post Stefka.

[Annastefka]

Well, you know that time once when you wrote to me and said you felt a little guilty...and I said "what, you must be kidding"
Well, after that post...I felt the same way...that was a little over the top. The raw food thing I would suggest for anyone over 40....I've had my years of pizza and cheesecake....it gives you so much energy and you just smell sweeter and such. I have to say however...my kids have really never listened to the ying-yang twins....I was in South Carolina last weekend and I stopped for directions and a fellow told me...you need to go up 'bout twenty-11 blocks...and when I told another friend about it...he said...oh, that's sounds like the ying-yang twins...fifty-11 times thing. So I checked it out...pretty funny. We are here at home having the most wonderful Friday night. OH, BTW....I saw Sweeney (our Freakscene Sweeney) play music on Valentines Day, I ran into Sweeney and he told me that he was playing music with a fellow from Savannah, Georgia on Valentines Day. The guys name was Dare Dukes...and I really liked his music. Anyway this evening...Dare was on a local radio show called "The Georgia Gazette" and I'm putting up a link if anyone wants to hear the show. It's a little bit of a Dinosaur Jr. connection.

When you get your bar up.... fast forward to past the half-way point, after the basketball piece and after the weekly riddle....they you will find the Dare Dukes piece....he's a really good singer/songwriter...a really neat person. We bought his CD called "Prettiest Transmitter of All" and it's great to listen to early in the AM.

I recently started reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and might I say that I already love it. Even though I'm only into it a 100+ pages and it consists of 2,945,007 pages.

That'll be quite an afternoon....

I'm having a bit of a Vonnegut month.
Just read Mother Night and Timequake, and made a start on Hocus Pocu last night

One of my favorite authors of all time. The world misses you Mr. Vonnegut.

Where The Wild Things Are. I found this last night when I was trying to remember where I had placed some old photo albums.
Probably the best book ever.

[essgee09]

Where The Wild Things Are

A book about The Troggs could be called that

[girl]

Oh SG!

Where the Wild Things Are is an amazing children's book. Naughty Max, did he tell his mother he would eat her up and was that why he was sent to bed? I also loved Alexander and the No Good Very Bad Day because sometimes as a kid I wanted to move to Australia too.

[Robert]

Max was running around in his wolf costume, chasing the dog with a fork, growling and doing mischief.

Alexander and the No Good Very Bad Day

Oh no, why have I never heard of this book with such a fantastic title ?!

[girl]

Oh no, why have I never heard of this book with such a fantastic title ?!

It really is a brilliant book too. When you have kids you should get them this book and read it to them at night.

[Robert]

Can I borrow it from you ?

[girl]

I'm pretty sure the copy I had disintergrated from me reading it too much.

[Yeah Right]

Naked Lunch is not what I would recommend for your 1st Burroughs experience... Junky is another good one

Junky is ace... I got Naked Lunch but I haven't started reading it yet, keep thinking of Old Bull Lee hacking and it puts me off for some reason.

just got "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk from the library, it's great so far.

I got Haunted by Palahniuk and stopped reading halfway through. When I think of it it makes me feel sick. *I think he's a good writer, that book's just... harsh*

I'm reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being, a Bukowski collection called The Most Beautiful Woman in Town and Batman: Hush (does that count?)

All good.

[essgee09]

Batman counts

[allenborder]

Here Allen from USA. There are many books I have read, Books are my best friends.
I am very fond of with the spiritual book, literature book, and comic book.
Books give us lots of knowledge and teach us the lesson of life, as well as some relaxation also.
recently I am reading one comic book.
Thanks Have A Nice Day.

Dracula

I'm addicted to the classics.

[PunkyJ]

I have so many books piled up in my room right now. I wish I had the time to finish them.

[tonas]

I just started Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger. I love his writing......
