I have a great EXTREMELY challanging book for you guys *snicker* Finnegans
Way, by James Joyce..... its sooooo hard, i looked at the first page and
hysterically laughed... In this book, joyce uses like 5 or 6 languages,
interchanging throughout...its just crazy :) And if you like joyce, you guys
should read Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses :) JB was also a really
interesting play, based on the book of job.... and waiting for Godot, dude
that just irritated the hell out of me *read it, youw ill understand*

just suggestions hehe.... but i swear finnegans way is ..... like....
sooooooo.. hard, like *followers* of joyce, in these like clubs and stuff,
can't even read it ...agh! hehe

sight,and im contemplating suicide*Papa Roach, Last Resort

I haven't read that yet, but I read another Samuel Beckett play, Endgame. It
was pretty abstract and kind of depressing, but I really liked it.

::cough:: Finnegan's Wake, you mean? hehe.. Guess you *are* having a hard time
with the book ;)

I had to read Ulysses (or however that's spelled, dangit) in college and it was
literally torture.

hehe yeah i know i didn't spell it right, and i didn't even try, cause if it
did,it would be 10 times worse :X *giggle* yeah, thats kinda a continuation
to Portrait, and tells you what happens after, its all supposed to occur in
one day.... so its like the whole course of a day of what happens to steven
Dedalus *sp?* :) sooo it was hard? hehe.. i didn't like portrait too much, i t
was *ok* i guess...

yeah our teacher talked about that one.... Waiting for Godot is... just.. so
repetative, and its funny, and good to a point, but after a while it gets sooo
annoying, cause all they do is....stay there hehe.... and if you look into it
deeply, about how maybe they are waiting for god, or so on.. it can get
depressing too...
