i finish the barthes and now reading "image and reality of the israel-OMG PALETSINE!!!11! conflict" by norman G. finkelstein

has anyone read this book and if so is the whole thing going to be just him pointing out how everyone who has written a pro-israel book has falsified old research data etc. about how bad and hated arabs are? i think it might be kind of a boring book but it is hard to find decent books about this topic, amirite

― nazi bikini (harbl), Saturday, 5 August 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i think the topic is generally indecent without having to be written about

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Saturday, 5 August 2006 16:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean, no matter what happens everybody is going to be pissed off and make stuff up

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Saturday, 5 August 2006 16:04 (eighteen years ago) link

yup :(

i am reading Da Europeans by MC Henry Jizzames.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 5 August 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

jeebs that glitter stucco book looks totally cool.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 5 August 2006 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

blarrgh, school books are so expensive, jody! but i guess that's school.

i just read a couple of weird books about visualization and healing. yeahhh.

and at this moment i am reading "technoculture and critical theory: in the service of the machine?" yeahhh.

blarrgh, school books are so expensive, jody!

i bought 'em used! the four books came out to about $100 including standard shipping.

― rudy huxtable can't fail (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 5 August 2006 18:12 (eighteen years ago) link

yaay! that is sweet.

― rrrobyn monsters with heat fever+stroke (rrrobyn), Saturday, 5 August 2006 18:15 (eighteen years ago) link

it's the best when you can get paperback international edition from SINGAPORE for like $15 and then $15 FAST shipping for a $100 book. i don't think it's gonna work for lawyer school books :(

― nazi bikini (harbl), Saturday, 5 August 2006 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

it's funny cuz i ordered those plannering school books two days ago w/ media mail shipping and two of them arrived this morning. i ordered the architecture book a week ago with expedited shipping (since the book was so cheap, i decided to splurge), and it still hasn't arrived. of course, that seller's in friggin' maryland...

― rudy huxtable can't fail (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 5 August 2006 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

are you gonna be a city planner, jody? i always liked the sound of that. the only city planner i ever knew was kevin bacon's dad. he was a cool old dude.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 5 August 2006 19:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, invisible cities is badass. I used to be a huge Cosmicomics fan but then i reread and it didn't hold up well at all.

i just finished John Cage:an Anthology and I'm about to reread Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal (my favoritest book) for like the millionth time.
I'm also reading some really boooring Eno-woship book called "his music and the vertical color of sound"

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Saturday, 5 August 2006 19:44 (eighteen years ago) link

are you gonna be a city planner, jody?

yeah! housing and land planning/policy and stuff. i'm about to start my master's at USC, which has one of the most solid urban policy schools in the country.

good luck, jody! jeez, that's gotta be a lot of work. you must have to write one of those fancy dissertations, right? hoo boy, i admire people who can do stuff like that. i was no good at school :(

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:01 (eighteen years ago) link

sorry. off-topic. i am still reading henry james.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 5 August 2006 21:02 (eighteen years ago) link

you must have to write one of those fancy dissertations, right?

no, i have to do a project-based comprehensive exam -- i do a presentation and then try to defend it from the wrath of the faculty meanies. powerpoint ahoy!

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1852427507.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

although i have yet to see the movie. is it worth watching?

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Sunday, 6 August 2006 04:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Scott Smith, The Ruins - trashy horror/thriller fun by the guy who wrote A Simple Plan, except not really fun (kinda long-winded with cheap dread devices and someone at his publishing house should have edited out the 'awhiles' three drafts ago).

― milo z (mlp), Sunday, 6 August 2006 06:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Odd, I recently read Invisible Cities as well. Wasn't a bad book, but I guess maybe my expectations were too high, after Cosmicomics. Had this convo with Remy already I guess. Reread Choke and Pulp as well, not sure what I'll dive into next.

Milton I've got the Johnson on PDF and ws just reading a few bits (the rev of Feldman's "Neither"). Just listening now to his disc on Pogus ('Kientzy plays..') and its quite good so far.

― xyzzzz__ (jdesouza), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i am gonna go buy the paper and read it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:56 (eighteen years ago) link

hopefully there will be an article in the paper about doom metal noisehat t-shirts so i can start a thread about it.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 6 August 2006 11:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i am a culprit, aren't i? i promise i won't start a thread about anything i read in the NYT for one calendar year. unless it's really dumb.

andrew: the piano teacher movie is kinda "meh" but there is a blowjob scene that is amazingly uncomfortable/hot.

― the eunuchs, Cassim and Mustafa, who guarded Abdur Ali's harem (orion), Sunday, 6 August 2006 13:02 (eighteen years ago) link

seconded, ian. though i didn't really find it hot, just unconfortable and slightly embarrassing, like i was watching somebody apply bandages to a self-inflicted wound.

finished freakonomics and now i'm reading bringing down the house

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Mezrich's follow-up to Bringing Down The House is maybe better, I can't remember the title but it involves arbitrage of asian futures markets. pure evil.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:08 (eighteen years ago) link

ugly americans, i got that one too. haven't read it yet.
