yeah .. was gonna say something .. but didn't wanna push the bot issue again

Without a mic I had to do with AT & T Mel, to speak on my behalf.

I prefer him to Microsoft Sam.

a bot has as much expression as many famous poets that I have heard reading their work

[XPress]

On the down side the bot has no soul, but on the upside he's not self concsious.

I am not the reader I used to be.

Now mostly on the internet.

Sometimes I go days with out picking up a book.

Like I said I have not finished a book in two years

but I always got a few going jumping around, and short stories a lot. Katherine Anne Porter and I.B. Singer lately.

The Bell Jar I suppose I have read that maybe ten times or only nine or maybe 15. Has it changed my life? I don't know. I just learned a lot from her. Reading her journals now. I have half a bookshelf on her. "The Blonde Bitch" My paper doll. I don't pick it up much any more cause I tthink I may have commited it to memory. Acid etched on my brain. I think maybe it changed my life. She showed me see the woman hater in me. I used to think I was "god's gift to women". Man I love that song. College girl once told me she not a feminist but a proto-feminist.


The Denial of Death been reading that for a couple years, no idea if I have read it all. useful if not life changing.

The Faith of a Heretic Walter Kaufmann only been reading that for about three years, but it has given me the courage to trust in what ever it is that we call G*d. I may have finished that one most of the pages are annotated.

Anne Sexton, Collected poems, yeah I guess a life changer. took me years to understand one poem.
Made me happy to be a man not a woman.
To be a man
Thank you Anne.
You are a truck
you own me.
A martyr to the priests of Freud. (imo)

And Freud you know all the freudian shit
we all know about freud.
don't have to read Freud
He gives a fuck about cultural anthropolgy
Everybody knows about freud, they read all about him in some other guys book. No need to go back to the source.

Oh Yeah
Life Against Death, thirty years on that one on and off, have not picked it up in weeks.

Beyond the pleasure principle I can't understand why hard core feminist scholars still read Freud. My father a child of the 19th century. He 113 years old if he was still here. Freud wrote his life story.

Freud, no shit, now there was a life changer for me

I have more respect for him these days. What a good death he had.
I was raised on Freud's holy trinity I had to go through freud to see my father's insanity in me.

Good luck with organizing books
I don't know where to begin.

Rachel Maddow- I haven't watched her show as much as I would like to.

I happen to think she's frikin cute though- for an older broad- actually of late i've been feeling the older dykes- there's a certain wisdom they have that leaves the sort of confusedness of people my own age behind.

I think that it is of paticular interest that Its the only time I ever watch MSNBC- and that i had no perception of there show, or rather my perception was that they were a bunch of dudes talking about money- but then bam they have this attractive out dyke.

Its interesting too to see the movement because have you also seen the show "no bull with so and so" that shows not bad either- its a female as well.

I need to watch more Rachel Maddow though for sure. did you see she was on the veiw- i liked that bit i caught on Youtube. I also like that from what I have seen Rachel Maddow has been no holds bar on her opinions of prop- eight but does it in a sophisticated way, a strong way.

the veiw- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjZmErjFhK4

we need more dyke dykes you know- i mean she's what we would call Boi- i'm andro/boi as well.


You like dykes you should check out - http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Dykes-W ... 308&sr=8-1

preveiw the like third page- lesbian comic porn- kind of cool! 80's revolutionary stuff.

Two thousand books? That is a lot of books Clay. I don't think I have read that many. How do you keep count?

I have one rack of twenty four books sitting on my desk within arms reach, my ready reserve, the books I am constantly going to. I keep a large print KJV Bible on it. At one point in time it was the most important book in my life. Now it is one of about 25 I keep handy.

"hominem unius libri timeo"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_unius_libri

I used to think that was from Tacitus, but wiki says Aquinas

Maybe Aquinas acquired it, tactically, from Tacitus?

[K&D]

kind of like that quote me and Clay were quibbling over who said it first

the one that says the best artist steals- i'm paraphrasing- i thought it was wilde, he thought it was...i don't know some old boring heterosexual dude...no just kidding.

[stilltrucking]

I am trying to remember what other books I read while tripping my brains out.

Freud
Yeah I am afraid so.

Be Here Now, yes


Statistics For The Behavioral Sciences, never finished it, carried the book around for years, I lost my way in it somewhere around




I finally lost the book too but every few years I see it in a thrift store and buy it and think I will try to finish it and see if I can put the shattered pieces of my world together again.
