My bad, ok ok.....how many here sniff panties?
As a kid I loved to hang out at the library, lucky to have lived in walking distance. Never felt better than when surrounded by books. Right here on the computer desk...
Best of Country Music
The Art of Rock & Roll
The Boxing Register
The Roots & Rhythm Guide to Rock
History of World Art
POE (complete Edgar Allan Poe)
The National Football League Encyclopedia
The World Atlas
The Book Book (history of the...book)
5087 Trivia Questions Answers
whatever you say I am...eminem
Peter Camenzind....Hermann Hesse
Incredible Football Facts
Black American Sports Heros
Who is Who In Track & Field
War and Peace.....Leo Tolstoy
Out in my Fortress of Solitude over 10,000 books, everything from the great western authors like Louis L' Amour, Zane Grey, Luke Short to the sci fi legends Robert Heinlien, H.G.Wells, Isacc Asimov etc. I could find what I want in the dark, yep, just like a library because it more or less is just that.
Other than a half dozen books on them blues and about a dozen classics by ens, Scott and Hemingway I ac ulated all the books at thrift shops/yard sales. Have..."how much for all your books"....many times.
A few real gems...
To Be A Slave...Julius Lester, here we have a collection of letters written by slaves, yep...some could read and write.
The complete Conan saga by Robert E. Howard, all 11 books.
The Country Blues....Samuel Charters, the first book written about the music (1959)
The Lurking Fear ....H.P.Lovecraft, a first edition in mint condition.
ENDZONE...Don Delillo...SI has called this book the best fictional book ever written about college football. The story of the first black player (Taft Robinson) at a small west Texas school and how his speed dazzled everyone, we read...."that black gift".
So what books can you see from where you are sitting?
Sounds good with your morning coffee....

pay attention to me
Anyone with a halfway decent education knows this. You make it sound like it's surprising.

Damn that Avante, he's everything I wish I was. Here I am stuck on being a leech/leg humper, it;s just right.
How many people actually give a about what the slaves could do and not do? Who can talk about the slave who became a ruler of a nation?
translation
Damn that Avante, he can talk music, books, football, track, the rasslin', and here I am just a boring ass leg humper
pass
"Pass"
here I sit
on my ass
I opened this thread
think I'll pass
I don't read
many books
prefer old movies
with cops and crooks
I like it simple
it's easy on my mind
trying to read a book
takes too much time
so here I sit
staring at a computer screen
I'm sure all of you
know what I mean
From where I'm sitting I can see my dvds, my Martin hanging on the wall, a Dali print, framed Bob Dylan/Patti Smith concert poster, a crate full of vinyl..
If I turn my head slightly to my right, I see a mirror (damn, I'm a handsome devil), my Fender Blues Deluxe, framed Frank Black concert poster, drum set, a small bookshelf with my art portfolios, songbooks and the few comics that I've decided to hold onto. If I turn my head slightly more to the right, my neck hurts.
I can see you like to surround yourself with cool.
What I wouldn't give to have my old comics back. I got around 16 and trying to prove I'm no kid sold all my comics....STOO-PEED! Had about a 1000 of them, the very first.... Fantastic Four... was one.

I have around 20ish books on Islam/Middle East. I got curious about all that after 911, so I set out to educate myself.
It doesn't take very long to figure out what the problem is............relgion and not much else to do. Those people aren't waiting to see who are the current top 4 in NCAA football, they aren't posting about Classic Rock on an internet site. They don't have enought interests going on.
And....there is no such thing as Radical Islam, but we do have moderate Islam. Islam is all about violence to those dreaded infidels, that is Islam, world dominance.
my favorite kinds of books are the ones where we know who the author is
But I thought religion = happiness?
Would you like a list of the books I'm talking about and the author?
no, that's fine. i was just sharing an opinion
Who said anything about lack of happy?
You've heard of the book...Kite Runner...right? That was written by a rookie author.
i read that in high school
of course you would mention a book where an underaged child got raped
I'm guessing it wasn't required reading.
it was on our reading list for AP literature. it was a private school, so i dont think there were any issues regarding content material
I expect that silliness from the dumb kids here guy, but I thought you were smarter than that. So you also know nothing at all about servicemen and over seas hookers?
Wow~~~~~~~~
I had a feeling something wasn't right with you.......a private school....explains it.
please tell me what it explains?
i went to an armenian christian private school
we had mandatory religion class from elementary thru middle school, and our school held communion twice a year in addition to holding morning prayers along with the pledge of allegiance
