"The Tao of Pooh" and "The Te of Piglet" by Benjamin Hoff introduction to toaist philosophies as described through A.A. Milne's characters =) "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka Mr. Samsa is a cockroach. "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" by Douglas Adams Anyone who hasn't read these amazingly witty books should do so immediately. Various Dialogues of Plato (my personal favorites, of those i've read, are Meno and Apology) oh yes, and go here: http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/ that's all love, jason †•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••† † http://www.tir.com/~morpheus/ † †•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••† † "I AM IN FLAVOR COUNTRY" † † -pokey the penguin † †•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••† ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 00:08:23 EST From: Catadys@aol.com Subject: books books feed your mind oh hi, well here are some books that i'm really into anyway no matter how stupid it can be, but here's my input: "The Bell Jar" Sylvia Plath "Bitch" Elizabeth Wurtzel "The Science of the X-Files" (i forgot who the author is) "The Thorn Birds" Colleen McCoulough something or other <------if you are slightly romantic even if you are skeptic (i was only in 7th grade when i read it and i obsessed over it for a while afterwards) "Prozac Nation" Elizabeth Wurtzel "Lolita" Vladimir Nabokov "Angela's Ashes" Frank McCourt <----read this about ten thousand times already "The Butcher Boy" Patrick McCabe I think "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" Hunter Thompson (read this one NOW if not already) anything by roald dahl especially "matilda" but you probably want a nice THICK book) and finally, the children's book series "Animorphs" (a delightful guilty pleasure) ok that's it. bye now. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 21:15:45 -0800 (PST) From: Posby Subject: Re: Julia quitting the forest?

Noticing that its a really small tavern, bar, whatever--i was worried cuz i had no id w. me, but no one cared at all when we walked in and tried to find out if the band was playing--which is should be noted that tracy called the club before we left and the recorded message said that it was still on. Well it wasen't. We had to inquire with about 5 people before getting the real story--that is was cancelled last night, and according to the brian setzer lookalike bartender, it was the 5th time that they had cancelled at that exact place. bah. This brings up the question--what the hell is going on with Rasputina?!? cancelling a lot of shows (are they doing any anymore?!), this whole julia thing.. its annoying... grrrr and, it should be noted, that it wouldve been nice to see them in this place, it was really really really small so no matter where you are its a good seat. glitter n space ants, mop ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 01:30:33 EST From: DaliAdore@aol.com Subject: Re: book i would recommend Catcher in the Rye or Crime and Punishment... along with A Clockwork Orange... 3 very awesome books drew ------------------------------ End of goths-digest V3 #33 **************************
