Monday I Buy Books - GoFuckYourself.com

Fletch XXX · 05-06-2002, 04:34 PM

Every Monday I go and buy a few books to read for future weeks or whenever. Was curious as to what, if any of you read and what it is?

This is what I purchased today:

Bukowski: Notes Of A Dirty Old Man,
On The Campaign Trail 72: Hunter S Thompson,
Foundation Flash 5: FriendsOfEd.com,
Flesh And Machines: Rodney Brooks,
JAVA AWT Reference: O'Reilly

I tend to read and reread my current collection of about 75-100 books. It takes a lot for me to buy something 'new' and untested. Anything I buy new has to be by an author I know to be worth my time and effort. I'd rather go to the library for 'new' stuff, its cheaper.

Bukowski: Notes Of A Dirty Old Man

Fletch XXX · 05-06-2002, 04:44 PM

The Java and Flash books have price tags of over 100 bucks, but I got them for 2 bucks a piece

This set of books cost me under 10.00. Library? Nah... used book stores.

I re-read my collection too, unfortunately it consists of quite a few hundred books more along the lines of 2000. Including all my Vintage Art books (oversized) and Vintage Horror Paperbacks. Yeah I collect Vintage books and first editions of all Stephen King and such... lame but it looks cool in my studio!

great book

Quote:

Flesh And Machines: Rodney Brooks

Brooks is the man when it comes to the next generation of robots. his research at mit completely changed the direction everyone else was heading in terms of ai in mobile robotics.

Mark Tilden and his BEAM robotics philosophy is also well worth checking out.

Tom Robbins fans try

Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore
Gone for Good by Mark Childress

Stephen King fans

anything by Poppy Z Brite especially Lost Souls..

Marilyn, The last take by Peter Brown

If you find the Mafia,Kennedys ,Marilyn Monroe , J Edgar Hoover and 21st Centery Fox interesting.

I had an used bookstore for 6 years ! I am set for life on reading material !

I'm also looking forward to reading Bruce Campbell's autobiography.........

I recently broke out my George Soros' "Alchemy Of Finance" and got my wife to read it..she's not much of a reader, but it's got her attention so far.......

Me too, reading is for dummies. Everything good is turned into a movie or a tv show.
