Thanks all for the kind responses. I ended up reading "Of Mice and Men" first since it got some votes and its a quick read. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't call it one of my favorites.

Up next I think I am going to go with Herman Hesse or Kafka.

I will also check out the books you mentioned and the authors.

Thanks again

Would one of you pleasant people post in this thread when the Indy show becomes availble for download please.

Get them all asap, but if you can only get one at a time get xo, then either/or....

send me a pm with your address and i will hook you up with some unreleased stuff if you would like.

I really like Perks of Being a Wallflower

Yeah I really enjoyed this book alot. I love Catcher in the Rye like most people and Perks reminded me alot of that in a way.

Confederacy of Dunces (if you've read it before, read it again).

Yeah I have read that before, but I wouldn't mind reading it again. I enjoyed it the first time around.

Wow, that's quite a list!

I read A Separate Peace a very long time ago, but I remember loving it.

My brother-in-law teaches Thomas Pynchon in his classes (he's a big fan), I know he'd put that at the top, and he'll be thrilled that I put the recommendation in for him.

I heard most of Thomas Pynchons stuff are not easy reads, but Crying of lot 49 is the easiest.

Oh, and read some Nabokov. That dude was the best, ever. Thomas Mann is good too.

I will definately check out both of those authors, thanks!

I like to read;)

i'll take the bronte book off your hands if you decide you don't want it.

ill read it and if i dont like it its yours:)

I will send it to you.

House of Leaves is amazing. I got through almost half of it, then it started getting real techinical I guess you could say so I stopped. I need to pick it up again though.

Have you read Danielewski new book? I didn't know if it was as good as House of Leaves.

Not sure if I would enjoy Wuthering Heights but I always give a book a chance.

Seconded. And that Philip Roth book is pretty damn good, too. Kafka's The Trial, as well.

thanks for your replies you two! I do appreciate it!

I will defitnatly put Of Mice and Men up there since its two for two.

I heard anything by Kafka was amazing so when I found The Trial I knew I should buy it.

The start of the PKR book wasn't bad at all, I just couldn't get into it. Its a crazy concept though with Hitler and all. I will get back onto that one soon too!

Thanks again!

Here is a list of books I have sitting in the corner. I just read Perks of Being a Wallflower and now its on to something else. If you have read any of these please leave some comments about them to help me decide what to read next! I pick up books at flea markets, yard sales, and used book stores so I have a few I haven't read.

Thanks to anyone who participates:)

Low plays for 45 minutes. Wilco comes on 30 minutes after low. Last night they came on 10 minutes earlier though.

The show was great, but the crowd was top 5 worst out of 70 shows. There was chatting during the whole show. More than usual. I was pushed around while people wanted a better sit. If you want a better sit buy the tickets early. A couple of people would yell out shit in the middle of songs just for the fun of it.

people who put down tattoos are cliche.

touche.

The other night in Davenport, there were very obvious signs that said "No Cameras". I just put it in my pocket. Then when I saw that all the ushers were little old ladies, I knew I wasn't going to have any problems at all.

lmao! here is hoping for little old lady ushers;)

thanks

Video cameras, Cameras with a detachable and/or adjustable lens, 35 mm cameras, cell phone cameras, instamatic cameras and/or digital cameras- (unless permitted by the artist management)

The Murat allows it as long as the artist management allows it so thats why I was wondering.

I have never brought a camera to a show and wanted to try it tonight. Don't know if I would get any good pictures with all the lights, but does wilco even allow them?

If yes does anyone have any advice on camera settings to get good pictures? My gf is allowing me to use her Nikon80 so its a good camera.

Should be a good tour.

For me personally "Shot in the Arm"

To be someone who used to have a heroin addiction, this song kinda hits home to me

I want to know her disturbing bathroom habits lol..

Spoon or polyphonic spree albums?

How are they?

Thats fucking disturbing.

I laughed at first but then I was like wtf!

George Jones-Who's gonna fill their shoes.

You know this old world is full of singers

But just a few are chosen

To tear your heart out when they sing

Imagine life without them

All your, radio heros

Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream

No, there will never be another

Red-headed stranger

A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues

The Okie from Muskogee

Or Hello Darling

Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

(Chorus:)

Who's gonna fill their shoes

Who's gonna stand that tall

Who's gonna play the Opry

And the Wabash Cannonball

Who's gonna give their heart and soul

To get to me and you

Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

God bless the boys from Memphis

Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis

Much too soon he left this world in tears

They tore up the Fifties

Old Jerry Lee and Charlie

And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years

You know the heart of country music

Still beats in Luke the Drifer

You can tell when he sings I Saw the Light

Old Marty, Hank and Lefty

Why I can feel them right here with me

On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night

Dennis Wilson-Pacific Ocean Blue. Great album. Very underrated musician.

French Kicks-They don't have an original sound, but I enjoy them.

Porcupine Tree-They seem to be getting more popular.

Sigur Ros-I'm pretty sure everyone has heard them, but there are kinda like a wild card so I will throw them out there.

he needs to get his ass kicked and go away.

lmao, dont forget about is pro wrestling career also.

ok

awesome thanks for the reply!

I've been meaning to download that. I like watching the UFC and Pride better than K1, but now that UFC owns Pride I think all hell is going to break loose.

I wanted Sakuraba to win, but thats what happens when you leave it to the judges. It was a unaminous decision though.

Brock Lesnar won is first match. I dont know what to say to that lol
