Phantasmatic Posted May 12, 2002 Author Share Posted May 12, 2002 I was going to start to read that Mushshi book but I never got to it. My friend bought that Fight Club book and he said it was soo much better than the movie it was crazy, I might have to read that one as well!!

tessone Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Regarding Fight Club (the book), you should be able to find it at most any book store. I found I couldn't say whether the book or film was better. However, the book's ending was different. I liked that the book had its ending and the film had its, and I wouldn't want to give up either being there.

Bitseach Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 KG - what did you think of The God of Small Things? I tried 3 times to read it but couldn't get beyond page 30 - kept falling asleep! Should I persevere? Currently reading an entertaining enough thriller "Dust to Dust" by Tami Hoag, dip into "The art of War/Strategy" by Sun Tsu, and the "Book of 5 Rings". Usually keep a "Dilbert" book beside my bed too, for when I can't sleep and Lord Justice Taylor's report into the Hillsborough football disaster which sounds deathly dull but is fascinating and very well written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKD_McGee Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 George Lucas is on crack or something.. it will be impossible in todays world to make a good Star Warz sequel. #1. Political Correctness #2. Lame Computer Graphics rather that real looking puppets. #3. You can't bring back the 80s! Star Wars is a marketing ploy now! Do unto others, as they done to you.

Bitseach Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Er, how exactly would political correctness (respect by another name) ruin Star Wars??! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Hate Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 i've yet to finish the 900 page miyamoto musashi. i've already read a "compact" version of it in thai (about 400 pages). it's amazing how much detail was left out in that "compact ver.".. man.. i wish i knew japanese so i could read the full jap ver.! another book is "How to program C++" by deitel & deitel.. tis givin me a headache.. and some other text books.. how i love thee.. hoping that when i finish musashi, i could start "Taiko". it's supposed to be a book bout wars and stuff.. interesting.. and comics and magazines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
