I think he's a clever bloke. He knows how to get dubsteppers to part with their cash and even get into debt with student loans.

Yeah am gonna cop that kode9 book.

I'm reading long way down by nick hornby right now, easy read

I think a lot of people will get that Kode9 book just because it's Kode9 and then read a bit of it and get bored.

I am interested in it but it'll be very in depth I reckon and I think a fair bit of it will go over my head.

Surely you have to read fiction for your english course and not a science book?

We have to read one fiction and one book fiction/non fiction.

Big up yourself Vulva.

If you're interested in Aesthetics you should read 'Mikhail Bakhtin and Walter Benjamin' by Tim Beasley-Murray, who is a badman that taught me political philosophy and German philosophy at university. Proper intelligent bloke.

He compares Bakhtin and Benjamin focussing on the forms that make experiences. He uses the same method as Kant does when he argues the Transcendental Aesthetic [that in itself is elaborated from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason].

I finished Germinal and now reading a book on Jah Rastafari himself by the Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuściński. It's a really interesting book about the workings of Selassie-I's central court and government and what lead to the end of the Ethiopian empire.

Kapuściński is a superb author, I've already read his books on the last Shah of Iran and on the Angolan Civil War.

Pre-Bangface Bath reading:

It's been on my shelf for years, but it's not one to read from cover to cover, I don't think. Really fun book to pick up once or twice a year and spend a couple of hours thumbing through the pieces. One of my favourite entries is a brilliant transcript of William S. Burroughs and some friends picking through a big box of pharmeceutical samples looking for interesting things to consume.

I've got Mr Nice by Howard Marks, haven't read yet though. It's a toss up between that, Steppenwolf or Innocent When You Dream:Tom Waits:The Collected Interviews

^^

Mr Nice is a really fun read. I dunno how "enlightening" or anything it is, but it's very entertaining. He writes in a very approachable way and always comes across as an incredibly nice bloke.

Just ordered these two:

Thanks to Trots for the headsup on that one after we were discussing similar stuff at the pub the other night.

And this turned up this week:
