dj_bollocks Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What you reading ? I'm mainly a biographies kinda guy these days (occasionally read the odd self help book) and like reading work related media books too... Here's what on the reading list at the moment: What about you ? Link to comment
Henry Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just finished and just started Link to comment
GK55 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just finished reading a really good one - The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz - I would recommend. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Currently reading a book called Pure by Andrew Miller. Half the way through, it's alright so far. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness by Jim Keith. A fine read. Something I'm dabbling at myself on here, bit of eugenics, weeding out the weak, and eliminating them, to make myself stronger. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 anna karenina. dont quite get the reputation but it was enjoyable nonetheless 1 Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The Psychopath Test. Superb. Same author as "The Men who Stare at Goats" which is also ace. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The Psychopath Test. Superb. Same author as "The Men who Stare at Goats" which is also ace. Which you will note I recommended to you. I reckon I could pass the above with flying colours. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Which you will note I recommended to you. I reckon I could pass the above with flying colours. I cannot remember that at all. Honestly. When did this happen? It's a great book though and worryingly there is a poster on here who fits quite a large amount of the traits. Grandiose sense of self-worth being top of this person's list. Now who invented the phrase "delusions of grandeur?" Here is the checklist in all it's glory. Paying too much council tax you say? Watch it big man he's a Psychopath. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I cannot remember that at all. Honestly. When did this happen? On Aberdeen Mad although I refuse to go on there and find it. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 On Aberdeen Mad although I refuse to go on there and find it. I'll take your word for it. Cracking read. The boy Tony faking being a psycho and being locked up for 14 years in Broadmoor was incredible. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'll take your word for it. Cracking read. The boy Tony faking being a psycho and being locked up for 14 years in Broadmoor was incredible. I meant 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' not 'The Psychopath'. I'm currently reading about how to control masses of people through subliminal messages, which only last for 1/3000th of a second but which get inside folks heads for good. I've used it on here over the last year, which got me poster of the year. I'm going to try and become manager of Aberdeen shortly using the same methodology. Link to comment

I'm reading Body Language (Robert Phipps is the author) for similar purposes although clearly not message board related activities. Also working through Why Does E=mc2?: (and Why Should We Care?) by the lovely Professor Brian Cox. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Also working through Why Does E=mc2?: (and Why Should We Care?) by the lovely Professor Brian Cox. Did you know that Brian's faither is also a leading professor, Ian Charles Cox, or Professor I C Cox for short. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Did you know that Brian's faither is also a leading professor, Ian Charles Cox, or Professor I C Cox for short. No but I haven't finished the book yet but thanks for spoiling the ending you prick. Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm also reading the Quantum Mechanics book Phoen gave me, major head crunching stuff going down there, it's reasonable though. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm also reading the Quantum Mechanics book Phoen gave me, major head crunching stuff going down there, it's reasonable though. Is that the follow up to Quantum Leap with the boy Ziggy in it? Link to comment
tup Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Is that the follow up to Quantum Leap with the boy Ziggy in it? Aye this one is about Forres Mechanics title charge this season, topical as fuck. Link to comment

tup Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Books? What you reading for? To educate oneself. Obviously this is not an issue for you since you live in Australia where nobody bothers too much with that kind of thing. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 To educate oneself. keep reading then Link to comment

muttondressedaslamb Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anyone's WAG currently taking a wideon over a book called 50 shades of grey?Lots of people on FB and Twitter reading it and saying it is amazing. I think it is about porn? Link to comment
Foster14 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anyone's WAG currently taking a wideon over a book called 50 shades of grey?Lots of people on FB and Twitter reading it and saying it is amazing. I think it is about porn? I said in the FB thread the other day that this was all over it. Went and had a quick wiki of it. It isn't about porn, but it is a fairly graphic novel in that sense. Some virgin girl getting picked up by a shagger of an executive and a penchant for BDSM and the likes. Sounds shit. Link to comment

But because it's aimed at females then of course it can't possibly be porn. Yes sounds shit, I have my reading sorted out for the holidays, some Hitchens and Wuthering Heights. Proper stuff.
