Is there something slightly different in the way BL looks today? Something about the way special characters and emoji characters are displayed or something. Or maybe I'm tripping...

Could also be just my phone. Maybe it's just rendering things slightly different today.

Oh, and I fixed my washing machine today. The new control board was all that was needed. I'm so happy. Now on to the broken dishwasher...

I don't know if I'll read 1,001 books in my life time. I know I've read a few good ones. :)

atlas shrugged didn't even make the list, wtf?

The list has quite a few questionable omissions and inclusions. There are several authors that had most if not all their work on the the list, seemed rather sycophantic/pandering at times.
 
I enjoyed all the drug themed books by Ellen Hopkins. They are written in almost a diary/ poem type way . Some titles were Crank , Burned, Impluse, Glass, Tricks.

If you havent read I recommend :)

Not familiar, are they purely fiction? I'd google, but I'm lazy. Best drug related stuff I've read has been by Burroughs, Huxley, Dick, people like that, both fiction and nonfiction.

There's a great part of Huxley's Doors of Perception where he's dropped a healthy dose of acid, and is guided through The Louvre by his wife. He gives the most awesome description of the red dress worn by a woman in a Botticelli painting.
 
Yes they are fiction . But the writing style is very unique and graphic.

Another favorite author of mine is Tom Robbins he wrote ? Even cowgirls get the blues? and a few others .
 
We had to read Huxley's Brave New World for an English Lit class. Ah soma. Tubbs, consider community college if you have to take out a student loan. (when you're ready that is) I keep telling my son the same thing. He'll be 21 in June.

Brave New World is of course great, and so is Island, his final novel, and the counterpoint to BNW

Agree 100% with the first part, haven't read Island yet so I guess that's another addition to my reading list! (So many books, so little time... :( )



Any Irvine Welsh fans here? I really enjoy his books, especially those centered on the "Leith crew" -- Trainspotting, Porno, Glue, Skagboys and I guess The Blade Artist as well although that one's really only about Francis Begbie.

Took me a while to understand the Scottish dialect though! Found that if I read it out loud I would suddenly "get" it. =D

I took a stab at his stuff at likely too young an age, and the dialect threw me, need to revisit him, as a close friend is often reminding me. I'll probably start The Soft Machine by Burroughs next, work through that trilogy.
 
I've read "Island"....I didn't really care for that one. People with an interest in hallucinogens might like it though...as I remember it, a fairly significant portion of the story is a description of a psychedelic experience. I remember it having a very sudden and dark conclusion too...

In any case, I enjoyed "Brave New World" more. But I enjoy "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" more than both of em ;)
 
Reading is fundamental, unless you're me, then you accidentally avoid it like the plague.
 
^ IIRC, they had to alter or redub some dialogue in the Trainspotting film, to help Americans and other (probably non-British/English) audiences to understand, because the Scottish dialogue and slang was "heavy"- Of course, Mel Gibson had no problem

British English and American-although South African English is interesting

Wish could lead Japanese - Anime would be better, although kanji get me every time

Correct, Island does focus on hallucinogenic drugs, and the novel generally acts to show Huxley's change of heart regarding drugs, BNW is pretty staunchly anti-drug as you would know. Kesey is alright, I'm not nuts about his prose, enough so that it's difficult to enjoy a story that I like, such as Cuckoo's Nest.

Unrelated, I'm not big on Chuck Palahniuk, although I read a bunch of his stuff in high school, but I do wish we'd get the sequel to Rant he promised. Far and away his best imo (Invisible Monsters second). Rant is about people that are rabies super spreaders, though they show no symptoms, that intentionally get into car crashes to induce time travel.
 
I gotta read One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. Still reading Infinite Jest. Got sidetracked by essay writing and found myself learning about the strangest of things from the 18th and 19th century. Was pretty fun I'm glad I could get it done for my friend and now I get to smoke myself silly with a lot a of chron that I can normally never afford so much of. It was tiresome and took all afternoon but tI have nice strains tonight and I was out of pot all day.]]

I got really stoned since I didn't smoke all day and hit a lot of bong and I am seeing the colours that I see on 2c-c. That is crazy. Like my brain remembers the circuit to do that and the herb helps facilitate activating it or something. Like maybe I messed my head up doing way to much drugs. I think the amount of MDMA I took the other week didn't help. I feel good now though. I can't believe I'm having 2c-c like visuals like this. I am out of 2c-c. If I had some I'd be railing it. But it doesn't seem to matter if getting really stoned activates it. Or maybe I have hppd and many other diagnoses and will be in the ward in a day or two

Hey shroomy, I noticed that the 2c series tends to lend itself moreso to HPPD like effects than other psychs do.

When I was hitting 2ci and 2cb too frequently years ago I would notice persistent minor visuals (breathing, patterning, etc) all the time while sober. Smoking weed would intensify my awareness of these visuals.

They go away mostly with time off. You just might have been hitting the 2cc too much lately? Plus getting stoned from a bunch of bong hits suddenly too.
