Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
Picked up this interesting book...The End of Money and the Future of Civilization -Thomas Greco
Fascinating history of currency and where it is headed. Should be done by the end of the weekend if the weather holds up.

Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
I just read that they are filming a movie in Vancouver that was adapted from a book I recently recommend here called a A Single Shot - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1540741/

Re: Eye Reedz
I recently read Into Thin Air and really enjoyed it (even though I was reading it in the middle of summer ). I'll be interested to read another take on those 1996 summits in The Climb as well.Southern_Canuck wrote: Other older favourites:
"Into Thin Air" Jon Krakauer's account of the tragic climb up Everest in 1996. Read "The Climb" by Boukreev which provides some rebuttal.
Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
Under the Banner of Heaven is also indispensable Krakauer. Particularly since we have a Mormon up for election in this country. Its amazing what millions of dollars in PR money will do to legitimize your cult.

Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
Anybody read local author Aaron Chapman’s books? I think Doc has as he wrote “The Last Gang In Town” which is about the Clark Park Gang and other gangs. He just came out with a new book called “Vancouver Vice” which is about the days the West End Prostitution scene. Apparently his books are quite good. He also wrote a book about the Vancouver night club scene back in the 70’s 80’s called Vancouver After Dark and a book about the Penthouse called Liquor Lust and the Law

Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
I read a couple of Autobios and a Bio in recent times and have now started on the Wheel of Time Series re-read kick started by the commencement of the series on Prime.
An unfortunate byproduct of that is the series is unwatchable now.

I've persisted for no reason whatsoever and now I've invested however many hours into that rubbish so I can't just walk on it
I need to know who the fucking dragon is dammit (I don't believe it's solely the taller white guy...I suspect it's all of them together)
If you need air...call it in

Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
No but I've heard good things Chef. Chapman seems to be a younger guy too, wasn't around during the times he writes about.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 8:46 pmNo, but I guarantee you Doc has his very own paragraph in The Last Gang in TownVin Tanner wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 5:08 pmYou might be a footnote in one of those novels.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 8:40 am Anybody read local author Aaron Chapman’s books?

Re: Eye Reedz (book thread)
I've read all of Kurt Vonnegut's books (some multiple times) and loved them all!
But my favorite was the one I think least favoured by most: Galápagos.
Kurt was no creationist, but he totally mindfucked Evolution scientists with that work of art.
(then he rolled over onto one elbow and lit a cigarette)
You could tell by their collective response, which, summed up in a single word would be: Outrage!
He literally laughed his ass off at their collective response, the guy was fucking awesome...
