Let's talk about them, yes?
Right now I'm reading The Men Who Stare at Goats in between sessions of being pissed off at the second volume of The Walking Dead hardcover. After that I'm going to reads me some James Joyce. Because that's what winners do.

Are you saying the thread title is crap
Is that the message you're trying to convey, here
Quite so.
Also I'm gonna throw it out there before someone else does
Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis
Cram it up your faux-vag, shemale
Alright, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, son.
it better be fucking awesome
(it will be)
less posting
but only because it was here first
And that goes for books and especially for short stories.
And yes, what PI said
koshian's thread had an overly long title to be funny, but clearly it didn't describe the thread very well
or this thread wouldn't have been made.
Do what's right.
Anyways, enough of this noise, let's talk about books, damnit.
also, everybody loves goats
the stories in it are pretty interesting
be my guest
it's originally in turkish though
will you quit bitching already, you cunt
several people in this very thread also voiced the opinion that it was a poorly named thread
nobody needs brackets
just not an ambiguously named thread
goats sell
Toss out your recommendations.
I loaned my copy to someone and I don't think I'll ever see it again
