i like that book. orwell is so friggin universal. the man was a genius.

 

tis one of my fav's as well....
another good book to read is "Earth abides"...unique story...

 

Earth Abides, is that the book by George R Stewart? If so, I read it and it was a very interesting book.

 

Anyone actually make it all the way through: "Where's Waldo"?? dudes.....trippy ending!

 

Wanna read a trippy book ? try "Interstellar Pig"

 

Waldo gets around. He's here, then he's there.... I under estimated his sneakiness..

The Odyssey by Homer. Very good read IMO

 

Yes that is the correct author...

Another Really good one is "Insect dreams" the continuation of Kafka's Metamorphosis..talk about trippy to read..

 

I would like to read The Illiad (spelling). I have also heard/read some stuff about Homer saying he was blind... pretty damn good 'poems' for a blind guy.

 

Yeah, the Ray Charles of Iambic Pentameter. Actually, the consensus is that there was never a real Homer. The Iliad and the Odyssey are really an oral
tradition, stories which began before there was a written language in Ancient Greece.
No one at this point is really sure how a Homer came to be associated with these poems. Great stories, though, no matter what the origin.

 

this subject really throws me for a lupe...

 

didnt know that about the illiad....

 

Haha, that's why I've been dubbed Factotus Maximus.

 

AH!! my minister of useless knowledge is holding true to his title.....I feel like Albus Dumbledoor training a young Harry Pothead.

 

Hee hee, Matty's seeds of power are growing. Still gotta figure out a way to make me rhyme though (good luck)

 

you better learn to rhyme......and do so on time!
