Finishing up Dracula.
I'll be getting Maddox' book as soon as it's out.
Finishing up Dracula.
I love the fury with which Maddox writes his articles. I'm eager to get his book (which, if it won't qualify as the best book in the Universe, it'll fall pretty close) ^_^. Meanwhile, I'm rereading some of his articles and laughing my ass off.
Maddox has his weak points, but his harsh sincerity makes me laugh for about 75% of his articles. I wonder who'll be publishing his book considering some of the taboos he promotes.
Yeah, Maddox is good for laughs.
Starting Dune.
I?m currently reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. The only reason I picked it up was because I had nothing better to do during fall break, and my brother left it somewhere where it caught my eye.
I'm thinking about re-reading Inferno by Dante as it's always been a great book IMO. I tried to read Purgatoria, and the Paradiso but Inferno is by far the most interesting and it's a very fun topic for me as its amazing how many people will be going to hell according to it ^^
I also look forward to Maddox's book.
The last thing I read was The Life of Insects by Victor Pelevin, and before that The Last Night of the Earth Poems by Charles Bukowski.
I must say I really like Bukowski's style. He's the only poet I've read and really enjoyed greatly.
BTW, for those who hadn't signed up, here's the badass newsletter issue #1 with information about Maddox' book:
Badass newsletter #1
<font size="2" face="Verdana,sans-serif">As you can see in the article, Maddox uses a real keyboard. I expected no less.Since the dawn of time, man has sought to find a greater understanding of the world around him. Questions like "is there life after death? what is the biological basis of consciousness?" and "what is the title of Maddox' upcoming book?" have baffled the world's greatest thinkers for centuries, and in some cases, weeks. Though everything about this book has been kept a secret thus far, the title has actually been available for centuries now. Nostradamus predicted the coming of this book long ago with the following prophecy: A great scribe will come forth in the third millennium, His virility and penile magnitude unprecedented. He will imbue the masses with a tome of all things manly. Many faces will be rocked. Behold the first glimpse of what will come to be known as the crown jewel of western literature; the title of my book: "The Alphabet of Manliness*" When Johann Gutenberg printed the first bible with the movable-type printing press in 1450, he couldn't have known that it would be another 556 years before anything as significant would be printed again. Every letter of the alphabet stands for something manly; if it needs to be shaved, beaten, or porked, there's a good chance it'll be in this book.
