Guess what. I'm starting to read the Shrimad Bhagavatam. Seriously. I'm going to meet Krishna and beat the crap out of his ass with Marshall Law in Tekken 6. I hope he has good connection because last time me vs. Jesus lagged as hell.

Very interesting book, I can see how idiots would get offended by it.

Very shortly i shall be re-reading Hard Contact by Karen Traviss. I don't have an overwhelming love for the star wars books but this particular set of novels is excellent and i have enjoyed reading it every time.

I have also completed reading books 1-10 of the Drizzt Do'Urden series by R.A. Salvatore. They're mostly running fights, but when he stops talking about swordplay he's a pretty good storyteller.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. For a final book report, that book was good to read.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Great book, several awesome conversations and hints about Wilde's extreme misogyny. It gets a bit tedious with the long ass descriptions of Gray's hobies though.

Read fahreineit 451, a tale about a book burner that goes into details not about the phisical burning of books but about what takes people into burning knowledge away, it was interesting.

Read THUD, the two factions of trolls and Dwarves in the city are celebrating the anniversary of a big confrontation that was a holy war for both, things start to escalate as a group of deepdown dwarves move onto the city of ankhmorpork and starts trying to incite civil unrest. Loved it.

American Psycho, must have been the first book that managed to gross me out at parts, the way they portrayed both the killer and his friends was amazing, the rhytm of the story is unsettling.

Just finished Holes by Louis Sachar. Great read.
Good news for all of you.

I'm banned forever.

Please, just let the ban quietly pass and whatever you do, I beg you, DO NOT CHEER. Do not celebrate that you've won about the fact that I'm banned forever. Let it slide, PLEASE DO NOT CHEER. Don't cause me to shitpost again. I didn't even recall making a shitty post before I got perma'd. I hated this forum anyway. It doesn't even feel I'm taking part in a MUGEN forum.

Well, ungoodbye to you all and I hope you all burn in hell.

That is a good book. If you like Louis Sachar books, I highly suggest reading anything by Andrew Clements.

Frindle by far is my favorite Clements book.

Finished reading a book called "The Dragon Factory" by Jonathan Mayberry.

It's a pretty good book, based on modern times, that involves genetics, eugenics, and bioterrorism.

It's also part of a series of books about a man named Joe Ledger. This is the second book of the series, the first, Patient Zero, I have not read, and I have just found out that there's a third book: The King of Plagues.

This is a great book, I suggest you read it. Most of the humor is dry, and it has a bit of history along with it, as well as controversial subjects.
