Meh, I'd rather wait to borrow it from Rush.BSF21 wrote:Might as well throw this out here. A buddy of mine from high school recently published his first novel. He quite his job and moved to Portland to do this. I was pretty skeptical of the whole idea, thinking it was poor planning and a pipe dream. However, he got it published with a fledgling company and I bought it to support him (basically as a way of saying "I'm proud you followed through"), and I've gotta say, I thought it was excellent. A very unique novel.
If you've got 20$ to blow on something one random guy on the internet told you was decent, try this one. I'd like to know what someone else thinks about it.

Yeah, I didn't want to be greedy, but your list stopped near I, if I recall correctly.Rush2112 wrote:Those you are borrowing from my library, Google evidently only lets you view 500 files. I've reorganized into sub folders so once it finishes syncing you'll be able to see all of them.
Maybe I should apologize for that because I initially recommended it. (LINK) And I've had this ongoing email correspondence with Larson for about a year. Very odd. We discuss the strangest things.

I'd be more interested in reading about the exhibits at the fair, or what it was like from a patrons point of view. I can;t imagine how astounding it must have been seeing electric lights for the first time, and there are 10s of 1000s of bulbs lighting up all-white buildings on the grandest scale of anything ever built up to that point. Or the first Ferris Wheel ever, and it held 2,000 people? Hold F! People had to be crazy to get on that fucking thing! I feel like I need to read a book on Herman Webster Mudgett (aka Dr. HH Holmes), the serial killer. How have I not heard of him?!?

Sure, as long as when Rush is done and transfers it to someone else he deletes it.Scottie wrote:A library.The Sybian wrote:Ask the authors what they call it.
Very interesting. What threw me more than anything is that my father pushed the book so hard. As I mentioned, he gave me the book in hard cover probably 7 or 8 years ago, I just never got around to reading it. I based it on my father's typical read, which is historical fiction and crime thriller type books, so expected more of a thriller. While I did find it interesting having a behind the scenes look at the near-impossible task of the architects to get it done, I'd love to have a chapter or two from the patrons' perspective. That, or I should find an another book to supplement this one.Scottie wrote:Maybe I should apologize for that because I initially recommended it.

same with me. it's almost like devil raised my expectations for in the garden of beasts to an unreasonable level.Rush2112 wrote:Scottie wrote:

I really liked it, though I've set In The Garden Of Beasts down a number of times, just not as interesting a subject.
Glad y'all told me, as I was just looking into Garden.cerrano wrote:same with me. it's almost like devil raised my expectations for in the garden of beasts to an unreasonable level.Rush2112 wrote:Scottie wrote:

I have read section one while watching the Open today and it is really good. He totally exposes all of the lies that brought about TARP and now it is on to eviscerating supply side economics.howard wrote:I saw the Stockman book in the store last weekend. I need to take a break from economics, finance and crimes for a bit. Stockman is great, but I'll probably wait for the paperback. I bet it is really good; I await hearing your reaction.

1861 is particularly good so far
Sex on the moon is a fun read, but I had the sense that the NASA intern was completely full of shit. It's gotta be tough to write a true story when the main actor is a bullshit artist. Still, a fun read and an interesting insight into the NASA internship program. Who knew it was full of hot chicks looking to party? Oh, wait, the guy who told the story to the author is a complete pathological liar. Right. Let's add 30 pounds to the description of all the hot chicks and tone down the parties a couple dozen notches... That said, I really liked how the author told the story.wlu_lax6 wrote:Have these waiting for me on the reserve shelf at the library. Not sure which I will pick up first.
I treat his work as fiction. The intro to this book admits that he had added some color to the events and that it is based on conversations with a bs artist.The Sybian wrote:Sex on the moon is a fun read, but I had the sense that the NASA intern was completely full of shit.
