Religion must end.

How about chugging a pint of gasoline then diving into a volcano?

The chugging gasoline part seems unnecessary...

Hey Spook, any Henry Miller in there? I just finished reading Tropic of Cancer. It's some pretty fabulous writing---apparently so much so that the U.S. and Great Britain banned the book as pornography until the courts finally came to their senses in '61.

Can't say I've read any Henry Miller. Will add to the list for new books. I will say we're no stranger to banned books. The wife has a few Vladimir Nabokov.

But then you wouldn't get the satisfying flame jet from the chest.

Banned in what sense?

Some books have been banned in parts of the world. Some have been banned in entire countries, specific areas, cities, schools, libraries, etc.. For example, Grapes of Wrath was banned in a certain part of California.

We have several of them in our collection, some of which I have had since I was a kid. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Fahrenheit 451 (hilarious irony...), The Handmaid's Tale, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Grapes of Wrath, Frankenstein, The Davinci Code, To Kill a Mockingbird, Neverwhere, Girl Interrupted, Age of Reason, Lord of the Flies, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Color Purple, His Dark Materials trilogy, etc...

And the number of books actually banned is just a fraction of the books that are challenged every year. Books like the Harry Potter series, Bone (graphic novel), Hunger Games, and countless others.

During which time period did all these manly, non book loving men live?

For everybody who missed it (I think it's in my intro thread, I don't honestly remember) here is my Library:


I must be a huge pussy.

Off subject but your books are so nice and neat. Some of mine lay on the shelves sidewise or have swollen spines where I dropped them in the tub.

I wish I were busty. Sigh.

Me too. An even bigger sigh

Nice collection! We have 276 books in our collection but we don't have enough bookcases. Half are on shelves and half are stacked neatly on the floor beside the cases. Between all the books and my massive collection of geek items (especially Funko Pop figures), our spare room is pretty much full.

I also wish all the ladies were busty....

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Ah, I see. Didn't think about that old scandal since it's so tame by todays standards.

Whoever wrote this needs to go skydiving without a parachute.

So he needs to die for saying something you disagree with on Facebook?

That's extremism.
