It would be weird if it was from the previous post and I was like oh yeah funny alcohol joke. But it would be about the satire of social relations. I have made a lot of posts the past couple days.

Re: The Lounge I think we had a fairly extensive discussion (well, listing anyways) of scifi books.
Anyways it depends what you want. I haven't read Roadside Picnic but it looks like some real vintage ♥♥♥♥. I recommend some Asimov, namely The Caves of Steel. It's like a buddy cop mystery story but in space.

Re: The Lounge Roadside Picnic sits proudly on my shelf of favourite sci-fi books and it's easy to pick up now thank to being re-translated just last year.
I recommend Dune, it's basically the progenitor for so many sci-fi tropes while never having been totally imitated.

Re: The Lounge Emogotsaone wrote: I finished reading Roadside Picnic and that was a damn good book, and other sci-fi books that you guys like? Dune, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (short story), Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Frankenstein (kind of rec'd too often though). I plan on reading the Illuminatus! trilogy next. Right after I finish up The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas (not scifi), and The Ego and Its Own and Anarchist Portraits (also not scifi). I just got books to read. Tangent thought, I wonder how bad it is reading an abridged version of Frederick Douglas' autobiography?

Re: The Lounge Oh man I'm just about done Roadside Picnic

But for it's length I feel like a fool for buying it full price The experience isn't over after the book. There's a movie called Stalker, loosely based off of it, and of course, the STALKER video game series, mixing the setting of Roadside Picnic with the real life CNPP disaster. Last I checked, the movie Stalker was distributed free through Google Video.

Currently I have zero friends and still feel fairly well with life in general. There's a term for people like you. Well, it's not that I can't make friends, because its quite the opposite. However I do get bored of people very quickly, so the effort which it takes for me to act interested in them is far more profound than the stimulus that entails form being in their company.

Re: The Lounge Sothe, you may want to read Fredrick Douglass' later book, which is more or less is second try at his autobiographic narrative, it seems to be a bit more organized.
Foil seems you need interesting people. I would like interested people.
