It gets better than that! The whole reason Dante wrote the damn book in the first place is because he was exiled from Florence. If you read the book closely enough (or were alive back then and knew who all the people he's talking about are) apparently 90% of the characters in the book were people he personally knew and blamed for his exile. It ended up printing and selling around 600 copies.

EDIT: Fact checked.

Which in general makes it all SO MUCH BETTER! Really, it doesn't get much better than a bitter dude who creates his own version of hell then sends all the people he hates to it for different reasons

This is basically why I love Integrity.

Pauly: that is one of my all time favorite books. I'm stoked you're reading it.

Yeah there's some stuff I didn't agree with in some of Crimethinc's books....such as the part homeless and hungry being a sign your not doing it right. But I haven't seen that in the more recent stuff. For the most I enjoy the writting about the adventures.

Thanks for the suggestion i'll check out the Gunslinger series.

I definitely wouldn't suggest that Crimethinc is completely without merit. There are some really intelligent and well-spoken people who write under that label. However, there are so many, many more that seem to think that the worlds problems can be solved if we all just...you know...PARTY! WHOOO!!

If you're reading it mainly for the adventures, I think you're doing it right.

Definitely let me know what you think about the Gunslinger. Those books are awesome.

To Become a Human Being: The message of Tadodaho Chief Leon Shenandoah

I don't know if I have read this one. I usually like books about straight edge. How is it?

I've actually heard good things. Wolf and I were drunkenly talking about it Saturday, and he said he actually dug it. We have it at Black Raven, just pop in and read a couple of chapters sometime.

Now that my classes are finished i have started reading The Sirens of Titan -- that I put on hold in September -- as well as Naked Lunch, and Frankenstein.

I just started Engulfed In Flames by David Sedaris.

David Sedaris is one of the best essayists going right now. Have you read Me Talk Pretty One Day?

[officespace]

I don't know about Darren but yeah I have read it. Just started looking at in Chapters one day and ended up reading it all in a day.

Sedaris does that. You don't mean to read it all, but then you look up and it's two in the morning.

re-reading The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass

[Peter]

I don't get around to reading much in the last year, but now that my XBOX live is up and I'm not going to renew it (and yes, I know that's a lame excuse) I finally finished Goodbye 20th Century: A History of Sonic Youth, and have just started Eating The Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman. He's my favorite writer so I'm excited about reading it, finally.
