RE: Read any good books lately? Rate them here
Yeah with today's devices that read books aloud for you I find myself "reading" quite amount of shitty books. Like recent biography of Steve Jobs by his daughter, like

Quote:A few minutes later, as we got into the residential streets farther away from the main street of the town and closer to my house, he [Steve Jobs] farted, the sound loud and high like a balloon opening, interrupting the silence. He kept skating like nothing happened. When he did it again, I looked away. After the third time, he muttered, “Sorry.”

While other books do get interesting like autobiography of an actor Curtis Armstrong

Quote:I would ask him [Tom Cruise] at the end of the day if he would like to join us in the bar for a drink.
“No,” I recall him saying, “got an early call tomorrow. Got to work out still, study my lines. And then I like to read the Bible a little before bed.”
I laughed. He didn’t.
“Ah,” I said, cutting off the laugh at the pass and nodding wisely. “A little bit of the Good Book before bedtime, eh?”
“Yeah,” he said. “Just a little at night. Keeps me on the right track. You know?”
But then returning late one night from some jollification, I found three or four young girls—late teens, I suspect—lined up in the hall outside of Tom’s room. I remember thinking, It’s late; Tom’s going to be really upset if these hot girls interfere with his Bible reading.
So I asked them, with all the stern gravitas of my twenty-eight years, if there was something I could do to help them.
They just stared at me and at that moment, Tom’s door opened and another girl came out, adjusting her hair and took off down the hall, while the first girl in line slipped into Tom’s room and the door closed.
“Aha!” I said to the remaining girls. “Right! Carry on!” Tom, it appeared, had everything under control and didn’t need my assistance after all. This was a young man who knew something about time management, and understood how to successfully juggle Bible study and blowjobs.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
