scott adams - the dilbert principle

made me realize that i should never mention that i find the guy funny around co-workers especially if there is managers/supervisors around

he has a top notch chapter on the nature of engineers and other technically minded people

just read Death in Venice by Mann, excellent short story! a little worrying since I'm technically an artist myself, so i can sympathize with the main character

 

[Enron]

I love that story.

I've been reading Cortázar and Borges a lot. Bestiario, Rayuela, and some others by Julio and El Aleph by Jorge Luis

The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

I am about halfway through this book

It's more of a collection of essays than an "epic history."

I'm not enjoying it very much, though some chapters have been pretty good.

Indignation by Philip Roth. He's one of the best authors in the world, but I'm fed up with novels about the Jewish identity .

 

[Rollie]

The Trial (Kafka), The Collected Stories of Franz Kafka, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Carroll - I read it in one sitting extremely stoned... loved it), and right now I'm reading The Tales of Edgar Allen Poe.

All great books that I would recommend... although everyone's tastes are different.

I'm in the process of reading "The Corporation" written by Canadian legal scholar Joel Bakkan. Interesting read, it shows how cold, cruel and immoral the big corporations really are.

There's a movie that I guess is based on that book.

 

[Fred]

Really? Never heard about it, will look it up after i finish reading the book.

Definitely educational; if memory serves me, it's about 3 hours long - but worth it. Some might need to watch it over a couple sittings.

bad case of ADD?

Not personally, but some of my friends found it a tad slow, to say the least. It's probably not a movie you want to be ripping 5 or 6 bongs beforehand...

I watched it a couple times 4-5 years ago, and thought it was great, definitely highly informative. I'm sure Fred won't have a problem with it either, he seems like a bright lad.
