I finished some weeks ago the Odyssey. What an amazing book, never got bored of it - you never return to Ithaca.

confederacy of dunces, refreshing

 

[Joaco]

Have you been following Boca lately?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

of course, i saw all 3 games they played, who needs roman we got Marino!

 

[Joaco]

hahaha, yeah. Palermo got called for the argie NT, amazing. I hope he doesn't get injured (if he plays...). Anyway, have you seen my (new) boy Medel? he did awesome against Lanus.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

yes the chileno did good, did you hear about palermo's encounter with the barra bravas?

 

[Joaco]

Oh yeah. It was all about because he said once that it would be a dream to play the Mundial de Clubes (can't remember how to say it in english) with Estudiantes. As you know he played there before he came to Boca. And some barras started to shout in training some days ago: "this is Boca" (yeah, he have scored 200+ for Boca ahd he doesn't know...). Anyway, the problem is solved

Catch-22


Everyone should ****ing read this, little bit from ze book:

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," Yossarian observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Really? Thats brilliant, thought I would hardly ever find a book like that again.

I've been reading Market Analysis for the New Millennium by Robert Prechter, from Elliot Wave International. It's a book on Elliot Wave Theory and other sorts of technical analysis of today's capital markets.

Very good stuff if you're interested in investing and trading, but hard to understand at times.

Just picked up 'the greatest show on earth' by the great Dawkins....my holiday read, just started 'restaurant at the end of the universe' again...

I've been reading a lot of Orwell recently. There's a lot of worthwhile stuff among his essays, from literary criticisms of Yeats, Dickens, Kipling and others to analysis of Ghandi to language and politics to memoires of an old-fashioned boarding school.

orwell is one of my favorite writers and thinkers. So much of his relatively unknown works are excellent!
