maryportfuncity 10,013 Posted February 12, 2016 I recently read 'Earth, an alien enterprise'. by Timothy Good Its not like I really enjoy reading books but I do on the subject of Ufology/Aliens and suchlike. Im not giving a shit if people believe or not, its a subject that has fascinated me from childhood and its never gone away. Never will either. Joke that once got a round of applause when I was doing a speech at a paranormal shindig Audience member - Do you actually believe anything in Timothy Good's books? Me - You can usually trust the publisher's name and address. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, Bulgakov and Gogol aside, I don't really enjoy Russian literature. I'm not sure why I've never read any Dickens, probably because my mum hates him and won't have his work in the house. Regarding russian literature, I've just started War and Peace. Let's see if I make it through it... I adore Fjodor Dostoewskij and consider Crime and Punishment my favourite "serious" novel (though in some ways, the novel is just a very, very good crime story). I once read Anna Karenina and came away with the impression that it was a structurally perfect book. But I didn't really feel engaged by it. I've also read a couple of plays by Anton Chekhov during my "russian period" (that was around 1999-2002). During that time, I also read one political biography about the russian czars after another... Catherine II, Peter the Great, lots about the final Romanoffs, Ivan the Terrible and possibly Ivan III, I can't remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,469 Posted February 13, 2016 I have read almost 300 Doctor Who adaptations/original novels. Possibly more. My wife reads all the literary things and then tells me which ones are worth bothering with. Have you read any of the Dr Who stories by Alexander Leithes? I believe he's written 3 or 4 of them.

Guest Dr Zorders Posted February 13, 2016 I am beavering away in my bedroom BECAUSE I HATE MY MUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing these books! I cant colour them in yet, my crayons KEEP GOING MISSING!!!!!!!

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted February 13, 2016 Erm... hilarious? I told Phantom to kill himself in the faint hope he could restore some honour and dignity for himself, and so as to reverse the bad example he's set for his poor downtrodden confused kids, not cos he was "horrible to me".... I laughed at or was bemused by every single "mean" thing he said to me because he's a fucking 44 year old toddler who thinks me being technically "unemployed" is a bigger issue than the fact that his precious Halibuts are the biggest trojan horse since... the original trojan horse (although he only suddenly began to take that line that after it finally became clear to him after over 2 tortuous months that he couldn't get me to respect his cocktarded fairytale beliefs by bellowing "THASS RACIST DAT IS" over and over like the robotic Raymond Babbitt-type he is.) Hope that helps you understand the situation better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted February 13, 2016 Look at me everyone, when I'm taking a break from showing how much I care for my kids by furiously demanding that their living environments be totally swamped by snarling hissing frothing-mouth violent 12th century religious maniacs who know full well that the police and media won't dare stand up to their caveman antics, and belligerent illiterate beaners pushing $1-a-hit heroin, I get my "kicks" from mocking people who have legitimate and life-crippling grievances by suggesting that they resemble "silly comedy characters who inflate false grievances". Yes folks, I'm yet again comparing everything to an old TV show! Hooray for me! The sooner society wakes up and puts me in the permanent "special" home I belong in the better. But if you want to stick that electro-shock gag thingy in my mouth you're gonna have to prise Allah's deliciously cheesy sweaty cock out of there first! Good luck with that! It's riveted in there reeeel goooooood! Oh no, I'm being mocked as "immature" by someone who blocks/ignores me like a frightened teenage girl when they can't win an argument. And who then probably ends up reading my messages anyway. Every single one of your posts is like a fat ornery old lady sticking her fingers up at her carers cos it's the only act of trying-to-seem-with-it she has left.
