What there are two versions??? Was the sole purpose of keeping that aforementioned 21st (unbeknownst to me) chapter out, based on it's socalled lesser qualities, it's unecessariness? it's irrelevance?

"Bitter" seems to be an apt descriptive word for many books of Soviet or Russian authorship. Although I didn't find Moscow 2042 to be bitter in any sense, he seemed to keep his hilarity as well as he...
Unfortunately I have not yet read Heart of a Dog, but it does grace my bookshelf, so perhaps soon I can comment upon the work. But I shall dain to say this, it seems that the Doctor, who you said was...
I suppose I am a staunch observer of a cup of hot chocolate every morning, and it has taken persons of... well... more than just a friendly interest in me to bring me round to such things as a cup of...
Can this silly page have made it so far?
Possibly my favorite book made into a movie is the African Queen by CS Forrester. It was made into a movie with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburne, which creates quite a dynamic duo of strong...
I find it interesting that people declare they are not a specialist on nihilism. One would think to be a specialist or expert one would have to destroy oneself. But after rereading this small quip I...
Works from Russia or the Soviet Union have recently been passing under my eyes. A book called Moscow 2042, which I recently indulged in, brings out a biting wit in regard to socialist and communist...
I think there is also something to be said for illustrating a philosophical principle. Maybe some authors who are also philosophers or who hold strong philosophical principles find that the best...
I just wanted to comment on your picture there HannibalBarca, I like that mosaic of Alexander the Great, I only wish the origional was preserved as well.
In relation to this thread my only comment...
I am of the mind that "selfish" is the human created word applied to the idea of self preservation and the upholding of individuality. Each person can only think of themselves and know what they as a...
ridiculous
And this game still persisits?
In my finals I've had people puke from nervousness and guys run through the gym naked as well, but that sad bit is that nobody noticed as we were all so intent on our exams. I didn't even know...
Is this a closed pet wedding, or can I bring my talking parrot? He could feed you your lines, just repeat after him, "I do".
I found it to be one of those books people describe as a "treasure". It's precious and precocious, and mostly hard to follow, confusing, and produces frown lines. There were many times halfway down a...
It would hardly make any difference to me, I'd be dead.
Hey I just finished two term papers too, but they are only 15 pages each not a whopping 22. The feeling is spectacular, all done and one entire chocolate car consumed at warp speed to make up for...
I second the motion, wait to date.
Maybe we should change that to Vodka's which is better for you than rum, not that alcohol is good for you in general. It really does seem to become a growing problem. No wait I take back the Rum...
Hmm the apartment I moved into, our neighbors were cocain -derrogatory prostitution term- addicts and starting stabbed eachother in the middle of the night. I think that pretty much convinced my...
I think the advantage that english has over other languages, is that it is easy to make new words or to adpot words from other languages because we have an alphabetic system of writing. Sounds can...
My penchant for whim and fancy.
It seems to be clear that both piratic idiocrities must be joined for maximum swarthiness. Stealthy Simon by day and Salacious Simon by night?
Three bottles of Rum, Rachel for your efforts.
Which ship to join? To be a Dastardly shipmate or an Amazon queen (no breast reduction required)? Any perks lads? What are you drinking onboard this piratic downward spiral? I can offer my services...
