Drip Curl Magic Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvine Welsh. Eh, it's alright so far. Not nearly as good as The Acid House and Trainspotting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betrayer_of_hope Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm currently reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. Seems pretty interesting, I'm nearly halfway through it. Its a series of 8 books in 3 vol. set in the Baroque period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelangelica Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 ...i am currently reading Food of the Gods by Terrence McKennaI might have read it. Is that about ethnogens? I am reading a long-winded book on Genetics "The Impact of the Gene" by Colin Tudge. (Can someone recommend something better?)The best quote so far:- "All genetics is a footnote to Mendal" Also reading/browsing two popular books on medical mistakes and medical history, a popular kids book on science, and I am about to start another Paul Doherty medieval-murder-mystery. Just finished one and enjoyed it. If you would like a good laugh you might enjoy the book "Motzart's Maulers" by Dorian Mode. You might have to be Australian and know about Rugby Union for a good LOL. It is the funniest book I have read since "Adolf Hitler my Part in his Downfall" by Spike Milligan or perhaps "My Family and Other Animals" by Gerald Durrell.I LOVE Terry Prattchet's books so you might understand my sense of humour. The best non-fiction book I have read of late is "Longitude" by ?? A small but amazing book about what we did before it and how we finally nailed it (Longitude). Incredible story.Another great non-fiction is "Shaman's Apprentice" by (US Author) about his single minded hunt for plant medicines in the Amazon.

Tormod Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm currently reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. Seems pretty interesting, I'm nearly halfway through it. Its a series of 8 books in 3 vol. set in the Baroque period. I'm reading this book too. Did you read Cryptonomicon first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm also reading "A Briefer History of Time", a remake of Stephen Hawking's besteseller "A Brief History of Time". It seems pretty good so far, but nowadays it is far from the revolution it was back in the 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarantism Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 :) I might have read it. Is that about ethnogens?... pretty much. it glazes over some basic enthogen information, some breif McKenna-accounts of experiences, and there is a lot on Humanity and the "Stoned Ape Theory". ....Another great non-fiction is "Shaman's Apprentice" by (US Author) about his single minded hunt for plant medicines in the Amazon. haha, are you sure that isnt food of the gods? ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queso Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I think there are a few threads on that topic, just with different names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
