I heard you were an ass man.

No wait. That was a man-ass man.

To hell with the damned kids... Take pictures of your girlfriends while they're still hot

Masturbating furiously right now. Hope I don't hurt myself.

[Ivytalk]

Have read tons of books this year. Right now, "Hemingway: A Life Story", by Carlos Baker.

That **** lived two seconds for every one second of his life.

I didn't think Donks read books. Unless it was Heather Has Two Mommies or some Planned Parenthood-approved drivel like that.

[JoltinJoe]

How do you people have time to read books?

Get books on CD from the library and listen while driving.

Or get audible and stream!

Or listen to "Love Me Two Times" by the Doors for the 100,000th time in your life.

[SeattleGriz]

Statistics for Dummies.

Falls under my economics category.

[UNI88]

Although I think 89 is more of the Wham ""Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" type listener.

Anybody read this? Thinking about getting it on my Kindle.

It's a good read. Adams was insufferable.

Don't bother. Way too much EC(b) for you.

i use the overdrive app. It connects to a bunch of libraries. I've knocked out 3 books since the start of Oct (25 min to and from work and the last hour and a half of work when I can throw headphones in, or any window time I get for work). My "goal" is to get through 2 or 3 more this year and then about 2 a month next year. With 6 driving trips to Ann Arbor and back that shouldn't be too hard

None of the books fall into this thread though.

The book I'm starting tomorrow is

[ASUG8]

How do you people have time to read books?

I read a few chapters while eating lunch every day. I've been burning through Kindle books like firewood for a couple of years now, mostly biographies. Some recent books:

FDR and the American Crisis by Albert Marrin
Churchill by Paul Johnson
World War I, a Layman's Guide by Scott Addington (not recommended)
Battlefield America - A War on the American People by John Whitehead (meh....)
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
Ernest Hemingway by Charles River Editors
American Prometheus, the Triumph and Tragedy of Robert Opppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin

Edit: I started Einstein, his life and Universe by Walter Isaacson but it was too much of a snoozer.

[ASUG8]

I think I have that one in paperback from a few years back. I don't remember much about it, but that's unfortunately not that unusual.

How about American Prometheus? Yay or nay?

[ASUG8]

How about American Prometheus? Yay or nay?

It was interesting, but a long read. I say yea.

Currently, i'm reading this:




It's an interesting account of the American Ambassador to Nazi Germany. Using journals, private letters and accounts you get an interesting view on Germany from the perspective of the American gov't, Americans, Germans, Nazi's and so much more. It's not a difficult read.

[LeadBolt]

Has anyone read either "George Washington's Secret Six" or "Thomas Jefferson & the Tripoli Pirates"?

If so, I'd appreciate your thoughts on them. I'm looking for early American history to read next.

Check. And the Ambassador's daughter banged just about every young Nazi in Berlin.

She was reeling from a divorce. She just wanted comfort.


There is a movie being made based on this story. Natalie Portman plays Marge Dowd.
