novels are fictional textbooks. Had the shittest teacher alive today. She simply paraphrased chunks of the novel for people who had no idea, basically took the piss of us. The idea isn't how much you easily retain information like some blind sponge-fish. It's how you qualify the information that deems you a good analyser of information. That's what this degree is all about, not 'if you could or couldn't really squeeze in 2000 words after banging your girlfriend after going on the booze-up between crack pipe hits', you small little bastard.

Joli I should be in Dublin from either Sunday or Monday, I'm visiting a couple of friends on the Welsh coast, cuz I'm going to Dublin by land, as in I'm taking a ferry. Email me that you've got into Dublin OK and we can meet up in the city, k?

yeah? Meeks is where? Let's collectively point our guns at him.

I've never had a textbook excite me, but often novels do that.

Ah, you are planning another webby. ah so.
I lied about the nonpolitical humour, he just has that dark humoured precision. A drugged-up lawyer attempts to play footsy with the heroine, but she's wearing combat boots. Her doctor, to whom she complains she has hallucinations, tells her, "don't tell me!" hehe. Also there's this fake Jacobean revenge play where 4 lines of the classical operetto gives the texture of people shot out of cannons. I laughed alot here.

My site will be at evade.blogspot.com. It will be sure to be hiddidly boodiddly read.

Who's Carole King? I'm having a phase of No Means No, a band hailing from Victoria with deep funky basslines and nonsense lyrics. They are too good. Dance the Dance of the headless bourgeoisie. Finished reading The Heat of the Day today, which is a a book about life during the blitz, ominous with isolation and solitude and the propaganda's mark on a society that is unraveling at the seams. Dramatic, harsh. Reading Thomas Pynchon too, he is the funniest thing I've read in a looong time. Humour timed to Coen brothers, and unpolitical

This tortured kid got up during reading time in the library in my primary school and would recite William Blake. His father made him memorise it, like instill the bitch with the fear of the tiger. Not my image of nurture but to each his own, last time I saw him was at an open house for a Christian school.
I've read alot of Terry Pratchett, "Pyramids" is an excellent book, he deals with gnostics constantly, look no further than "Small Gods". He is hilarious, if I had read Douglas Adams, but realised he was Terry Pratchett, I would say, "Terry Pratchett, like Douglas Adams, pleases". But he's not, so I won't say it.
"Android love", you repressed fetishist.

My first contact with asimov came in 5th grade. My teacher was an absolute nut for his writing, and he would read to us in class time. The next year I read some for myself, but since that time I haven't been much for the sciencey writing. Mainly because, as you suggested Vin, they often concentrate too much on the technical. I just want a cool story, with some foresight, and a little bit of android love and a comment on 'human nature'. Heh. The kind of bicentennial man approach. Or contact.

Avhan was really into the Terry Pratchett. Apparently his stuff is hilarious.
