slaugherhouse 5 is the real deal, first edition 3rd printing but the sirens of titan is a fucking book club edition. both are in excellent condition but i feel a little deceived with the sirens of titan. so it goes.
now i'm waiting for a real cool copy of the brothers karamazov. old fyodor karamazov has always been one of my favorite literary characters.
i hope you have a nice set of speakers hooked up to your computer:
i love you sons of bitches.

You're quite a bargain hunter. Why are they better than Amazon?
gb - they weren't really cheap but i like them so that's all that counts. abebooks has a huge selection of used books from around the world.
People that can read for pleasure are lucky indeed. My old lady is always reading. My brain isn't wired for that, I only read for information.
Neil Young, another Canadian great, I use to play my harmonica right along with him, Heart of Gold is one of my favorites.
tex - even if i wasn't unstuck in time, time fades away would still be my favorite song. it's hard to beat that opening line; fourteen junkies too weak to work......
Nice work, BP, and thanks for the info on abebooks. Never heard about them before. Also thanks for the Neil Young song. Just what my soul needed tonight.
You buy books? What a quaint idea when my shelves are full of free books.
But I will confess to buying two of Scott Adam's serious books some years back. Hell, two serious books is all he's ever written that was worth a shit, everything else is just entertainment.
like I need more books..but I will check them out.
".....everything else is just entertainment....."
For whom?
And you think Mr. Adams has written serious books?
Seriously?
You believe him to have published some serious prose AND that his non-serious dross is 'entertainment'?
You're daft.
Who the hell is Scott Adams? Nevermind, I'll do my own research as I'm sure the laughs payoff will be more than worth it.
OMG.
He's not funny, and his so-called 'serious' word salads are puerile satire sprinkled with misogyny - innocent misogyny mind you - but it betrays his intellectual failings.
A first edition Slaughterhouse 5! That's a nice find. Sorry about the Sirens of Titan. I will look them up.
Neil Young =:]
Neil Young is fuckin' awesome, and so is Slaughterhouse Five. Hard to imagine ANYTHING Vonnegut wrote being a let-down, but to each his own.
Ever read any of the Hunger Games books?
mr shife - i'd bet ruby's first pup that you'll love abebooks.
bbc - dog shit's free too but i wouldn't put it on my book shelf.
yellowdog - do a little culling and pick up some real good stuff.
aquarians - you're not a dilbert fan?
galt - i wan't let down by the content, i was let down by the fact it was a book club book that wasn't advertised as such. haven't read the hunger games but i'll check it out.
leslie - nothing like a little classical reading about cubicles.
silly - i might just gift the sirens or titan and pick up a better copy for myself.
Pfft....
Cutting back on your beer intake might help with your flatulence problem, dear.
Leslie is still a fucking idiot but I don't expect that to ever change.
People should read Slaughterhouse 5 in their 20's. And The Drifters.
Why? And don't just tell me I'm an idiot. Tell me why.
The downside of on-line ordering, I guess - you can't really know until it arrives.
And yay on your first tomato!
people should read slaughter house 5 in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's..........
Hum, Ernest Borgnine died, oh well, lets move on..
Why? And don't just tell me I'm an idiot. Tell me why.
If you're so fucking smart why should I have to tell you why? Cuz it's good shit, that's why.
I refer you to Billy P's comment.
Anyway, I ordered a bible today, my new bible will teach me about black powder guns and how to make bullets and load and shoot them properly. Afuckingmen...
Man, if I make it to 70 I'm finely going to get a discounted fishing license in this fucking state.
It's harder to get a discount on a fishing license in this fucking state than it is to get a discount from a hooker.
Of course this only proves that I get along better with hookers than I do my government.
Lots of books are "good shit", BBC. Please tell me why you recommend those two.
Well, it's complex, I can get discounts and government help on my electric bill and property taxes and such but that shit involves paperwork and I just don't like to deal with that shit anymore.
It's just easier to talk my fuck friend down in price so I can pay my other bills without a bunch of fucking paperwork.
Hum, maybe I should just ask her if she wants to move in with me, I'm a half ass okay cook.
Lots of books are "good shit", BBC. Please tell me why you recommend those two.
Knock it off with your mind fucks, they're just good books is all, and that's the only fucking reason I need. I've also mentioned many others over the years.
On the other hand, if we all didn't read so many fucking books maybe we wouldn't be so fucking crazy.
Of course not talking to many women anymore helps me keep from being more crazy, trying to get close to most women is worse than a book, at least I can shut a fucking book up.
Fuck her, she isn't my teacher, I don't have to give her a book report.
Have you ever considered working at a library?
Why should you get government help with anything, you lazy piece of shit? Because you're old? You should actually be penalized for living this long and torturing the rest of us!
You're always babbling about your illustrious work history, guess you didn't plan well for your retirement, hmm? That's your problem. Cut back on your booze and hookers so you can pay your electric bill or go get a fucking job.
Nice empire-building couple on your blog today, BBC!
From the shiny red gas-guzzler, to the Old Town canoe, to the expensive urban-chic "hey, we can still look successful while we're roughing it" garb, to the diamond on her finger, you should hate everything these people stand for.
Nice to know your love can be bought with some canned fish and a hug!
Speaking of 'The Slaughter House Rules' and incestuous/adulterous time-travel:
I've oft' wondered what people would do if given the opportunity to travel back in time and change historical events - without the resulting temporally paradoxical ramifications.
I imagine some would go back and throttle Hitler in his crib with his own umbilicus. Others may go back to right some heinous wrong - a wrong either perpetrated on them, their family, or other group. Some might go back in time merely to observe, to not change a thing, but to simply experience a sort of hyper-nostalgia.
Me?
I’d go back to discover why it was, exactly, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge – that has really bugged me for years
Leslie said,
".....Nice to know your(BBC's) love can be bought with some canned fish and a hug!....."
Not only could you buy my love with some canned fish, but make it 'Kippered Snacks', and I'll throw in a dowry of 200,000 Kyat.
"....Fuck her, she isn't my teacher, I don't have to give her a book report....."
Though my primary school did not require us to read, my tutor tells me he once was required to submit a 'book report' in grade 9 - that's the ninth grade for you Yankee cunts - of a book of his choosing.
He chose 'Tropic of Cancer' - 'cause it was banned in the USA at the time.
He would have chosen 'The Story of O" had it been available at the time.
Speaking of free books, do your shelves contain nowt but bibles and the "Story of O" BBC? You know, both being free and all.
Henry Miller, now there's a real man.
The Nexus of: June, Anaïs, me and even Antonin Artaud agree.
I don't think Henry Miller was a fan of flat chests or 70's bush, so fuck off.
For Miller, women are semihuman sex objects. And in this, I excel!
Though I be so flat and furry,
And a spas like Blockhead Drury,
My Opus Pistorum is better than yours.
And I could teach you, but I'd have to charge!
"And for that one moment of freedom you have to listen to all that love crap... it drive me nuts sometimes... I want to kick them out immediately... I do now and then. But that doesn't keep them away. They like it, in fact. The less you notice them the more they chase after you. There's something perverse about women... they're all masochists at heart."
― Henry Miller, "Tropic of Cancer"
Me thinks BBC and Henry Miller are as testicles in the same scrotum. So if Henry Miller's a real man, is not BBC also?
Fuck me from behind with a rolled-up wad of Miller's buck-a-page chick porn, but this lull before the inevitable LSD (Leslie Sturm und Drang) is positively frightening.
I've always wondered why the prose was entitled "Opus Pistorum"?
I mean, that translates as "The Millers' Work" not "The Miller's Work".
Why put the third declension noun Pistor in the genitive plural case?
Indeed, for wiser heads than mine I fear.
i can't decide if this discussion is high brow or low brow.
i'll take fyodor over henry any old day.
I do try to maintain a certain decorum, but that Leslie cunt always has to reduce everything to the least common denominator. (abbreviated LCD(1))
She's that kind of Jersey Shore Guidette that makes Snooki look like Catherine Deneuve.
The LCD is the least common multiple of the denominators of a given set of vulgar fractions.
That's right, vulgar fractions.
LCD also refers to Leslie the Cunt. Duh!
I must be a fucking idiot, I come here and talk to other fucking idiots.
Yes, that couple are doing very well, and yes I have to turn that fact off in order to enjoy them. And yes, that rock on her finger is a hell of a lot more impressive than it is in the picture. But I did point out that they don't claim to be tree huggers and give a shit about how much their life harms the planet.
But under the surface they're troubled by things that are going on, they just won't accept their part in it.
Ah fuck it, why am I trying to explain anything to idiots.
Why should you get government help with anything, you lazy piece of shit? Because you're old? You should actually be penalized for living this long and torturing the rest of us!
You're always babbling about your illustrious work history, guess you didn't plan well for your retirement, hmm? That's your problem. Cut back on your booze and hookers so you can pay your electric bill or go get a fucking job.
You stupid cunt, why should I get government help with anything? Because I served my fucking country for four years, because I worked and paid my taxes for many years, you have a lot of nerve calling me a lazy piece of shit, fucking cunt.
Besides, I don't ask the government for much help. And I don't bitch about what I get in retirement, and I do pay my bills first. If I didn't I would have more fun with my friend and not bother to get online and read your stupid fucking shit.
So I pay a fuck friend a few times a month, get the fuck over it, it's cheaper than a mate or wife and you're all fucking whores. Some whores are just cheaper than others.
Besides, I have no solid proof that Leslie has any kind of a life other than a fabricated one.
So do I still need to anwer the question about BBC being a real man?
You're the fucking whore, dirtbag. You sure wear those stars and stripes when it means free money, don't you!
I have a lot of nerve PERIOD. And you're still a hate-filled asswipe drunk piece of shit blabbermouth narcissistic lunatic.
Why don't you ask Uncle Sam for some teeth and mental health counseling? Then maybe you won't have to pay for sex.
But you have solid proof that I have a fabricated one? Can I see it?
bbc - a wife can be a great asset if you're able to attract a good one. i guess it's hard to attract a good one when you have no teeth and shit in a bucket.
i hope you weren't calling the aquarian a fucking idiot. she's teaching me grammar.
Yup, I'm a hate filled ass-wipe, I fucking hate you because you are so fucking stupid.
You sure wear those stars and stripes when it means free money, don't you!
You are so fucking stupid you didn't get what I said above.
Why don't you ask Uncle Sam for some teeth and mental health counseling?
I'll get some fucking teeth when I want to get some fucking teeth, meanwhile my friend likes having her nipples mauled.
And what in the fuck would you know about mental health? You been sucking your shrinks cock?
Better to pay for sex than put up with bitches like you that don't put out anyway.
If ALTF is involved, it's mono-brow. She's got more facial hair than a Kardashian.
Billy P, yes, a wife can be a great asset, if you have one that is right for you, but my life changed after moving here so I no longer have one.
I don't shit in a bucket, I shit in a port a pottie, it's not my problem if you feel you are above that. Go wash the BMW.
I totally got what you said above. You're a hypocrite and an asshole.
A port-a-potty is a bucket with a lid. And it will just be a bucket once you recycle the lid into a dinner plate.
If ALTF is involved, it's mono-brow. She's got more facial hair than a Kardashian.
I have no fucking what ALFT means and have just a glimmer of the Kardashian shit being as I don't watch TV.
Well, you're a bitch and a cunt, I guess it's a draw.
A port-a-potty is a bucket with a lid.
What the fuck planet is she living on? They evolved away from that years ago.
A bucket with a lid costs five bucks, a port-a-potty costs fifty bucks and up.
I can always be okay with a woman willing to use a port-a-potty, or shit in the woods. Fuck those high class women that think they are too good for that.
Anything else you need to get off your chest? How about the chip on your shoulder?
You turn everything into a "class" issue when it's really just a "you're a fucking jerk" issue.
Is your port-a-potty one of those self-composting beauties, because that's a vicious cycle I'd hate to see you caught up in.
I'm only a fucking jerk to cunts like you, Helen and my fuck friend think I'm great.
BTW, do you have any friends? I'm turning in now, you can stay up all night long if you like, just not with me.
Well your hooker wouldn't be much of a business woman if she told you she hates you, now would she? (Unless, of course, you're into that).
You feeling the need to state that someone you pay to sleep with you "thinks you're great" only solidifies your mental fragility and creepy, fcked up neediness.
I would be interested in knowing why Leslie thinks my fuck friend wouldn't think I'm great when we knew each other for some years before coming to an arrangement that we are both agreeable to.
And she isn't a business woman as in a hooker looking for more customers, but I guess Leslie can't latch onto the fact that I'm her only customer, maybe she lives in a fucking closet.
I juz popped in to say I won’t bee around a computer teeez evening cuz I’m heading over to da Masturbators Anonymous clubhouse to socialize with does fucking idiots, being an old fashioned fuck I sometimes like to enjoy my fucking idiots in person.
If she thought you were great for so many years, she'd have fucked ya for free.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd you previously mentioned she's in her twenties, so your new revelation of knowing her for "some years" kinda begs the question "What's an old man doing sniffing around teenage girls?"
You're a creep.
bill - your life would be easier if you quit bragging about and then defending your deviant lifestyle.
Slaugherhouse 5 was a film I saw decades ago as a young man in college. I wasn't sure back then but I had the feeling that this was a significant piece of work.
Teleporting to where I am today, I watched the film and now I am at an age and experience level where I understand it's significance. I find myself traveling between my past and (imagining) my future.
Iz wurked on projects all day and now Iz going to music on da pier so I’z don’t got tyme to talk to idiots today. Keep making does idiot babies, we’ll need da Soylent Green.
Dear idiot, knowing someone for some years only has to be three or four years. And our arraignment is none of your fucking business, you're too stupid to understand any explanations.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
Billy P, wasn't bragging, just stating the facts, I would consider myself a deviant if I was screwing five women though.
You broadcast your "arraignment" on the internet and then says it's no one's business, but I'm the idiot?
Makes perfect sense.
I talk about my life on the internut, you idiot, but it doesn't mean you have to make it your business, unless you are jealous that it's not you that is fucking me.
Not that I'd be willing to pay you fifty bucks a fuck. But I might be willing to pay you fifty bucks to go away, I've done that before.
Fuck, go listen to some good music just to return to this shit.
Shit, I've given homes away to get rid of women, fifty bucks is no fucking big deal.
Have I ever mentioned that you wouldn’t make a pimple on Helen’s ass?
