Backed. But the second book wasn't a patch on the first.

[xGlennx]

Yeah but that was just a follow up to cap off the end of his career (at the time).

[xMac Kellx]

Yeah but not as funny.

His fictional book, which I forget the name of is deadly though.

[xGlennx]

Yeah, Foley Is Good could have done with a few more Al Snow jokes in it.

[Iano]

im a huge fan of david edding.

[xGlennx]

O RLY?

[Iano]

YA RLY.

[xCiaránx]

It's not as good as Volume I.
Do you have that?

[Mike]

God no.

[hamster]

I like books.








(what was the question?)

[Iano]

I like books.








(what was the question?)

thats really 2 questions.

[hamster]

In that case I'm lost

[trí]

You go kill Lennon. But before you do, read Hey Nostradamus! Think Kavna has my copy. Borrow it, its amazing.
kavna has my Hey Nostradamus! i have your Life After God.
Coupland is good. crazy but good.
Of Mice and Men is a deadly story. really love it.
Heart of Darkness by Joeseph Conrad on the otherhand is not.

[aonghus]

is that not the first thing the world needs angels?im gonna start preachin outside gigs with a megaphone
i retract that last statement and give you my full backing for the comedy factor alone

[xSkx]

Glenn al snow jokes kick ass i read both books foley is a legend a true legend .

[xMac Kellx]

Stone Colds book isn't that good. The Rocks book is good though. Hogan's is shite.

[Sarah]

ONLY books for me are the Ross O'Carroll Kelly ones!

[Boyler]

only ever read one book it was called Run that is all i remember

[xCiaránx]

I got that Stone Cold one as a present but never read it and don't intend to either.

[Iano]

I got that Stone Cold one as a present but never read it and don't intend to either.
good man.

[xGlennx]

I'd take a Stone Cold book over The Rock any day.

[Iano]

yeah but would you really want to read either, like foley is the man and id say he has alot to say, but these 2 im not so sure.

[xGavx]

I'd love to read about Stone Cold raising hell.

[xMac Kellx]

I'd take a Stone Cold book over The Rock any day.
I resent his chapter on ECW.

[Cyril]

I have the book but havnt read it. What does he say on the fantastic ECW?

Anyway, agree with the comments above about Foleys books. Both are great but the first one is better. Anyone read Tietnam Brown or whatever its called?

[xMac Kellx]

Yeah I did, good book.

He slags it off for the entire chapter and I love ECW.

[xCiaránx]

What about Scooter?

[Cyril]

I'm not huge on Stone Cold. Sure he's entertaining a lot of the time but in the ring he's damn limited. He's no CM Punk say...

Anyway, im going to rummage out that ECW chapter now just to see what he says.

[Dee]

Now...answer truthfully, did anyone ever read the books called
"Percy the Park-keeper"?...excellent stuff.....or "Moggy", I think that's what it's called!!

then you have the "Animals of Farthingwood".......always completed my Christmas stocking

[Cyril]

I think I know Moggy. Not my cup of milk at all.

[Dee]

It's about a Cat at Christmas........how could you not enjoy his antics under the Christmas tree......psssssh

[Cyril]

Get some Bangers and MAsh into yeh...

http://www.kidsera.com/images/0170.jpg

[xCiaránx]

Finished the Hitchhiker's Guide series yet there Cyril?

[Kate]

I remember bangers and mash!! Did yiz read Ann&Barry in school?? i still have some of those, theyre fantastic!

[Cyril]

incidence I got a joke email about Anne and Barry today. It wasnt the funniest though...

Im slowly trudging through it Parnell.

[Kate]

Haha thats a bit random!! I think i was in the last year to have Ann&Barry...
Junior Infants '91, wha??

[Alex]

I just thought I'd give this thread a nice 11 month bump as it seems no one actually reads anymore.

[ianthefox]

Fucking college. I never get to read anything good anymore. Except Ian Kershaw's "Nazi Dictatorship". Deadly book if you're interested in history. His Hitler Biography too.

[xGlennx]

Attn: Mig.

[Joebreaker]

Last thing I read was Boris Beloney 7. Deadly.

[Alex]

How had no one mentioned Hunter S. Thompson? Literarry God.

[ianthefox]

Attn: Mig.

[Alex]

Of mice and men is a class book
As backed as is physically possible.

[John]

Backed x2

[Kate]

Of Mice And Men rules. If you havent read much-or any- Poe, get into it.

[hannah]

Backed x2
if you liked that I found the Grapes of Wrath even better

is that to do with of mice and men? or whattt

[aonghus]

Poe

reading marquis de sades 120 days of sodom right now.......amazing,but totally fucked

[Ronan]

^^They're both Steinbeck...that's the only connection AFAIK...

[Kate]

I loooooove The Masque Of The Red Death by Poe. Read it. Actually im a huge fan of gothic fiction......Carmilla and also Green Tea by Joseph Sheridan LeFanu are AMAZING.....i keep telling people to read them....go forth...

[Ronan]

I'm well into my 19th century lit. Everyone should go read George Eliot.

[Kate]

Read Washington Irvings stuff....He wrote Rip Van Winkle and The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow. Im a Nathaniel Hawthorne fan aswell...The Scarlet Letter is great.

[ianthefox]

I love Dumas :) The Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Cristo are so good.

[Sean-Lugsy]

I can't read.

[martin]

Backed x2
if you liked that I found the Grapes of Wrath even better

[Kate]

I love Dumas :) The Three Musketeers and the Count of Monte Cristo are so good.

great book!hopefully you'll get a big black obsession and become a negative little cunt like me.its where its at these days

[Ronan]

I downloaded (for free! ...legally!) and started reading some short book called God's Debris. It's by the cartoonist that does Dilbert, apparently.

http://www.andrewsmcmeel.com/godsdebris/
In case anyone wants it. I've been told it's good.

[Dee]

I like reading, but have noooo time to do it!

And they're usually fictional girly books too!

[napalm]

goosebumps will forever be my favourites

[Kate]

Ive always loved reading. Pity a lot of the books on my course are crap!!

[John]

The new Chapters is amazing
As is borders in Blanch
I have bought loads between them this week
got my grant and went a bit overboard
50 facts that should change the world and Sold are the only 2 I have read so far and I would strongly reccomend them both
Also Billy Braggs book is really good but you probably have to be in to sociology

[Kate]

Theres a new Chapters?

[John]

Yup Parnell street
its huge and much less dingy than the old one
plus it has Laurence around somewhere

[youdontwanttoknow]

Also Billy Braggs book is really good but you probably have to be in to sociology

Don't get the connection between the two myself?

[John]

Its not a biography or anything
its about Britain and what it means to be english/Britsh and such
I actually bought it in the Anthropology section
but its more sociology

[Kate]

Cool, ill take a wander to Parnell Street so. Just read Breakfast At Tiffanys and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote....savage stuff.

[SignificanceBoy]

As is borders in Blanch


[IN-JOKE=me and my friends are fucking hilarious] Ah yeah, I hear ya can drink coffee and read bukes there[/IN-JOKE]

[Dee]

Borders in Blanch is deadly
Chapters on Parnell Street is deadly
John McGahern is amazing!
