I finally finished A Feast For Crows

This book is a part of the permanent collection of all Barnes and Nobles

I learned while working there that it's a legend among the employees.
My favorite part: that it's called a fine art.

Print Wikipedia
Have you ever wanted to print a conglomeration of wikipedia entries into a book? Or have you ever wanted to look smarter than you are? Well now you can do both!
A Masterpiece
The book is titled "BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!!" It is 648 pages of caps lock-driven self-published brilliance, and will only cost you set you back $135 American, if you buy from Amazon
My favorite review thus far sums it up. "I've found this book to be extremely helpful for me in helping me beat back my disgusting urges for the sinful, tempting, curvaceous, sweaty, heaving bodies of women. By reading this I've learned to understand that fornication is only for procreation not for the unbridled enjoyment it otherwise provides. Having sex without making babies is akin to eating a large, moist, hot, panting piece of chocolate cake without washing your plate afterwards. Where is the fun in that?
Two small quibbles: One, the book may encourage folks to forego christian marriages to try out a less restrictive religious marriage in order to partake in non-productive sex. Two, I've found that my strident recommendations of this book to all women I happen to look at that may tempt me with their swaying, rhythmic, hypnotic hips (which ends up being every woman I see. Succubi!) have kept me from being able to form a relationship with a woman, carnal or otherwise, for years. Perhaps this book itself is a form of birth control, which would then mean this book, too, is sinful."

Who Wants to Go to There?
James Herbert's "48" described as, "In 1945, Hitler unleashes the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance. Hoke, an American pilot and one of a tiny minority with a rare blood group unaffected by the deadly disease, has survived alone among the debris and the dead of London for three years. Now, in 1948, a slow-dying group of Fascist Blackshirts believe their only hope is a transfusion of blood from one of Hoke's kind. Ever more desperate as their deaths approach, they're after his blood."

Read this book

From the back cover, Once the toast of good society in Victoria's England, the extraordinary conjurer Edward Moon no longer commands the respect that he did in earlier times. Still, each night he returns to the stage of his theater to amaze his devoted, albeit dwindling, audience, aided by his partner, the Somnambulist—a silent, hairless, hulking giant who, when stabbed, does not bleed. But these are strange, strange times in England, with the oddest of sorts prowling London's dank underbelly. And the very bizarre death of a disreputable actor has compelled a baffled police constabulary to turn once again to Edward Moon for help—inevitably setting in motion events that will shatter his increasingly tenuous grasp on reality.
I finished it this morning and I really enjoyed it. It's not a "you HAVE to read this" book, but it's an odd and compelling enough page turner. More than once I thought to myself that the London and the assortment of characters depicted in it could be from one of Kevin's games, if he ever did anything akin to a Gaslight Delta Green.

Shattering my illusions about one of my favorite books.
"In Stranger in a Strange Land, those who join Smith's cult and adopt his worldview gain telepathy, telekinesis, and all sorts of other miraculous powers. Oh, and they magically become beautiful. And spend all day having sex with other beautiful people. It's enough to make you wonder how many hands Heinlein was typing with."
Truth be told, i read this book again recently, and i found the experience to be like hanging out with a childhood friend i had not seen in many years; we knew so much about who each other was no longer. Kinda sad, really

Watership Down/ Marilyn Manson Mashup
Two things about this video.
1. i really want to read this book and watch this movie after seeing only a minute of this video.
2. i gave this book to my grandmother a few years ago while she was recuperating in the hospital after knee surgery. She never read it, and probably never looked at it, and after watching this video, i'm really glad she never did. how shitty would that have been for her, healing from knee surgery, past the age of 80 no less, and stuck in ha hospital for weeks, and she gets to read a book about bunnies killing each other and dying themselves? I'm the best grandson.
