Recommend me a book (hurry up you bastard)

Travis Meekz · 06-09-2003, 02:19 PM

I'm in the library for another hour or two so recommend me a good, suspenseful book. I looked through the now reading thread but there was nothing good in it.

I just finished Life of Pi, now I need some sort of dark humored book on contemporary life. Or something like that. I'm thinking about reading 1984 or Animal House since I’ve never read anything by George Orwell. No Vonnegut or Palahniuk since I read all of the ones this library has.

How about this Don Delillo fellow I hear about?

DeviousJ · 06-09-2003, 02:21 PM

Yeah, grab 1984

lucky_13 · 06-09-2003, 02:26 PM

1984 bothered me. i wasn't what i thought it would be. in cold blood is great. you would dig it.

is 1984 outdated or do the themes still represent our times?

oh its not outdated. it is good to read because you realize how many references to it exist in our culture that you weren't aware of.

i read the backs of bottles while on the toilet. toothpaste is probably the most boring, while lotions can be quite thrilling!

DEAR FRIEND,

MY GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND I HOPE THIS
LETTER MEETS YOU IN GOOD HEALTH. I AM DIAKA TSHOMBE,
AIDE TO THE LATE PRESIDENT MOBUTU SESE-SEKO OF
ZAIRE NOW KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
(DRC). I AM WRITING TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH BASED ON YOUR
PROFILE I RECEIVED FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN
SOUTH AFRICA.

I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER IN CONFIDENCE
CONSIDERING MY PRSENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION AS
A WAR REFUGEE HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA. FEW WEEKS BEFORE
THE LATE PRESIDENT MOBUTU SESE-SEKO WAS FORCED OUT OF POWER, I WAS
INSTRUCTED BY HIM TO MAKE AVAILABLE THE SUM OF
US$22MILLION WHICH WAS TO BE TRANSFERRED ABROAD AND
LODGED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFEKEEPING
DISCLOSED AS FAMILY VALUABLES IN MY NAME PENDING
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. TWO WEEKS LATER ON MAY 16
1997, PRESIDENT MOBUTU SESE-SEKO GAVE UP POWER TO THE
REBELS LED BY ******T KABILA, WHO WERE ADVANCING FROM
KISINGANI AND FLED TO TOGO FROM WHERE HE LATER MOVED
TO MOROCCO WHERE HE DIED ON SEPTEMBER 7, 1997 LESS
THAN FOUR MONTHS AFTER HE WAS FORCED OUT OF POWER.
HE WAS AGED 66 YEARS. I MANAGED TO ESCAPE TO SOUTH
AFRICA WITH MY SON PATRICE, AGED 17 WHERE I AM PRESENTLY
RESIDING AS A WAR REFUGEE SHORTLY AFTER THE CAPITAL CITY
KINSHASHA WAS OVER RUN OVER BY REBELS. I LOST MY
WIFE AND MY TWO CHILDREN, AND ALL MY POSSESSIONS DURING
THE REBEL ONSLAUGHT ON THE CAPITAL CITY.

THE LATE MOBUTU SESE-SEKO DURING HIS 30 YEAR RULE
AMASSED A PERSONAL FORTUNE OF US$8BILLION WITH
HOUSES IN SWITZERLAND AND FRANCE. HOWEVER, THE INCUMBENT
PRESIDENT ******T KABILA MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE
SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO
FREEZE ALL HIS ASSETS AND CONFISCATE HIS PROPERTIES.
I THUS DECIDED TO LIE LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE
SITUATION, UNTIL WHEN THINGS GET BETTER LIKE NOW
THAT PRESIDENT ******T KABILA IS DEAD AND HIS SON JOSEPH
KABILA HAS TAKEN OVER.

I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY
ABROAD WHERE THE MONEY IS STILL LODGED AS FAMILY VALUABLES.
THE FUNDS ARE SECURITY CODED TO PREVENT THEM FROM
KNOWING THE CONTENT. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO
INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU WILL ASSIST ME BY
RECEIVING THE MONEY ON MY BEHALF. ACKNOWLEDGE THIS
MESSAGE SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU THE MODALITIES FOR
THE CLAIM OF THE FUNDS. MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASIZE
THE HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY WHICH THIS BUSINESS
DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE WHCH I HAVE REPOSED IN YOU.

IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST, I SHALL PUT YOU IN THE
PICTURE OF THE BUSINESS, TELL YOU WHERE THE FUNDS ARE
CURRENTLY BEIGN MAINTAINED AND ALSO DISCUSS OTHER
MODALITIES INCLUDING REMUNERATION FOR YOUR SERVICES.
I AM WILLING TO GIVE YOU A REASONABLE PERCENTAGE OF
THE MONEY AS SOON AS THE TRANSACTION IS CONCLUDED.

FOR THIS REASON, KINDLY FURNISH ME YOUR CONTACT
INFORMATION, WHICH IS YOUR PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND
FAX NUMBERS FOR CONFIDENTIAL PURPOSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE
RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL USING THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESS.

YOURS SINCERELY,

I find that cleaning products are amazing pieces of literature. Finding many minerals in one container is orgasmic at times
