"Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave..."

Lynch on Lynch - Chris Rodley  (used to have a previous copy that disappeared and just picked up a new one- as I read it I picture Lynch waving his fingers in the air through the entire interview process in the book)

But I also want to read some good fiction, dammit!

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Fiction - Empire - Orson Scott Card

Meh.  The story is, so far, not bad.  I just wish ficiton authors could avoid having their characters parrott their personal political philosophy to such a great extent.  A line, sure. A paragraph, fine  Three pages straight is a little much though.  Of course it dosen't help that it runs countrary to my own political phlosophy but I've seen other authors, who are closer to me on these issues, do the same thing and didn't like it there either.

“Enjoy Your Symptom!” by Slavoj Žižek. It is a Lacanian analysis of several “classic” films, as well as a brief focus upon Twin Peaks and specifically Dale Cooper.

I am reading The Orchid Shroud by Michelle Wan.  It's not very good, but I've gotten far enough into it that I will finish it, and then lambast it on Goodreads.

Nah, just kidding.

Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch

Dang, this book is LONG!

I love how it says on the back cover a new exclusive chapter has been added for the paperback edition and it is a whopping 2 pages.

It has some good inspirational and Lynchian stuff, but the quantity of TM stuff grew tiresome.

 IM COMPLETELY KIDDING!

im not saying i endorse stealing from large corporate media outlets that run all the local business(and personality) out of a place, per se, but i do/can empathize with your position. or your thing. whichever.

 Me kidding too kidding.  It's the nature of the economy we have; get big or get out.  Of course it seems to Me that we are seeing that philosophy run up against reality these days but then again I am a sky is falling type of guy.

On topic; Unpopular Essays by Bertrand Russell.  This guy is great.

Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Batailles

I just ordered Gogo Girls of the Apocalypse, too.

I gave up on Harris with Dead in Dallas.  Life is too short to muck your way through shitty books, imo.

How to Write Your First Novel by (I don't know off the top of my head)

David Lynch by Michel Chion

A Hardy Boys book (because I am trying to revert to a childhood state)

Shit, wrong thread again!

Just Kidding. How many quotes can a quote button quote before the whole thing goes ouroboros on us?

I was a street fighter for a few years, totally non violent of course, if you don't count that time I got the cop with the bird puppet  Got to the point where it seemed like all we were doing talking to ourselves and feeding our egos.  Now I try to live my values and be as compassionate to everyone I come across as I can.  Fail too often but that's why it has to start at home.
