Reading list

Has anyone here read Fast Food Nation?

I had no idea slaughterhouse workers were treated so badly.

NO more McDonalds for me. I already didn’t like them, but htis is the last straw.

@Yanny:

I read an article in some newspaper a while back saying how bad Wal-Mart employees were treated :) Forced to work 2-3 extra hours a day without pay or be fired… forced to smile in your sleep…

i quit b/c they wouldn’t let me take off 4 shifts or trade them in order to work on my honors biochemistry thesis.
but at the same time, they weren’t that bad, just weird.

Hamlet
Othello
Bonfire Of The Vanities…absolutely hilarious!!
For history…THe Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote…IMO the best books on the Civil War ever written
and of course…Private Parts and Miss America by The King of All Media!!

Bonfire Of The Vanities… hmmm… what’s it about? :)

I’m adding Ann Coulter’s new book, Treason.

hitchiker trilogy!

Nothing about philosophy and science ?

I was just quoting Falwell, but i put “don’t know what’s a differential equation” where it was “are not born-again christian”.

:lol: I could tell you were being sarcastic the first time. :wink:

@TG:

Bonfire Of The Vanities… hmmm… what’s it about? :)

It’s about chasing money and status within the insanity of 1970s New York City – specifically the up-in-smoke South Bronx.

BY THE WAY – for anyone interested in the actual in-war experience, from the infantryman’s point of view:::::

Slaughterhouse Five – Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: he lived it then wrote about it (WWII Europe)
The Naked and the Dead – Norman Mailer: lived it then wrote about it (WWII Pacific)
All Quiet on the Western Front – dont’ know the author but it is the German footsoldier’s view of WWI.

Slaughterhouse Five is a good book. :)
He wrote the book during the firebombing of Dresden, correct?

Here is my current list of reading material that I have: ^^

Seven Days in May
Fail Safe
Pride and Prejudice
Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus

All are great reads, depending the mood that I am in. ^_^

You read Jaspers!??? :o

No… Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus is actually a philosophical book written by Karl Jaspers

and she says she’s not well read enough to be a “young lady” …… :)

ZimZaxZero, Eric Remarque. He was drafted into the German army during WW1.

Falk, what the hell are diferential equations?

Yanny, Budha never wrote anything and I believe we no longer have anything Socrates wrote, but I might be wrong.
