Gravity's Rainbow - Pynchon

Bullshit!! You had that one before, it appeared on one of your other lists! I can't fucking believe this! Ooooh, that makes me so mad!!!

Hegel pisses me off! He makes up his own ambiguous terms and uses them in the description of his system. These system make no sense because his sentence structure is poor (or maybe it's the translation), his descripative ability is atrocious, and he layers that with terms the were never clearly defined in the first place. Am I just getting a poorly translated/edited version of his work or is he alway like that? ... and don't say that "some people just don't get him".

It's bullshit!!

I recently bought some stuff myself at a local Goodwill.

Stephen King - Tommyknockers (I've heard the Blind Guardian song, but that's about it. Plus King is one of my favourite authors.)

Arthur Conan Doyle - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Some Holmes stories, such as A Scandal In Bohemia, A Case of Identity, and the Adventure of the Beryl Coronet.)

Don Bassingthwaite - Breathe Deeply (A novel based on Werewolf: the Apocalypse. Looks like a shitty opportunity for the author to throw various game terms around, but it was just 75 cents.)

Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto (Colour me pink.)

Michael Jan Friedman - Star Trek TNG: Reunion (Shut up.)

Aristotle - The Nicomachean Ethics (What can I say? I'm a sucker for Greek scientists, and I want to find out about the "good life" he discusses here.)

Vonda N. McIntyre - Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock (Shut up.)

Paul Thompson - Dragonlance: Riverwind the Plainsman (I liked the original Dragonlance Saga, so I decided to give this a chance.)

Roger Zelzany - The Guns of Avalon (Zelzany is another one of my favourite authors, and I love all the Amber stuff.)

Peter Benchley - Jaws (Dun dun. Dun dun.)

Stephen King - The Gunslinger (The best book written by King, bar none.)

The Gunsligner series is one of the most interesting things King has ever written. His novels with a lean toward science fiction are much more interesting than his straight horror.
