mcm1610 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I finished Bukowski, and realized there's not a T in his name (my sister's friend's name is very similar and DOES have a T). It's been packaged up but I've been working so much I haven't gotten to the post office. Roadwarrior, it should be in the mail tomorrow hopefully!

Just Another Tom Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hello people, its been a while. I feel like i have been letting the side down. Quick update, after a month and a bit i final got the book i need to read, sorry drabs, yours never showed up. and look how the post man left it, Ringing wet and ripped on 3 sides. Luckily they were in plastic and got away relatively unscathed. Anyway, i have some down time at the minute so i am going to try and get it read, if not i will ship on Friday regardless, because its going to take more time to get to to the states. What a saga!

mcm1610 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oh man you gave me a heart attack. I sent whoever's Bukowski book in an old Amazon package and thought that that was the package I sent arriving in terrible condition and I would've felt so bad.

Just Another Tom Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nah, even if it was it wouldn't of been your fault. The postman had a box of flowers in his van that he didn't know had water in, it fell over and destroyed a load of packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I finished Bukowski, and realized there's not a T in his name (my sister's friend's name is very similar and DOES have a T). It's been packaged up but I've been working so much I haven't gotten to the post office. Roadwarrior, it should be in the mail tomorrow hopefully! so I finished reading A Wild Sheep Chase and have started on the Bukowski book. Sorry Vince, but your book got a little chewed on by my kitten (I'll take pics of it later if you want. I have bought you a brand new copy (without the teeth marks) and have sent it to Breyan. I really enjoyed the Wild Sheep Chase, I may pick up the rest of the Rat Trilogy. I am currently enjoying the Bukowski book, some of it is pretty gross and funny. Definitely a good book for the commuting time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 glad you enjoyed. i really like Dance Dance Dance; the next in the series. i havent been able to get a hold of Pinball 1973 - its OOP and sells for something like 300-400$ at least you liked it more than your cat! i also havent heard from Breyan in a little while and havent rec'd book #2 from her yet.

mikeian Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 glad you enjoyed. i really like Dance Dance Dance; the next in the series. i havent been able to get a hold of Pinball 1973 - its OOP and sells for something like 300-400$at least you liked it more than your cat! i also havent heard from Breyan in a little while and havent rec'd book #2 from her yet. didn't really follow this thread, but if you just want to read Pinball, which i think you probably have, you could just find it online http://quietbubble.typepad.com/files/pinball1973.pdf i ended up printing it out when i was in college because i never used up my quota for printing.. printed them on half pages and cut them in half so they were more book-sized..

inutil Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Finished Pygmy by Palahniuk...well, i don't recommend it(even for Palahniuk fans). Think i'll start Moby Dick later today. What Murakami books should i get? I read Norwegian Wood and Sputnik Sweetheart already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Tom Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'd like to switch again. I've tried multiple times and just cannot get into The Dice Man. Sorry, Tom. No worries dude. I will get the next book sent ASAP. Sorry i have been slacking on this, i'm roughly half way through just havn't found the time i get through it. Not bad so far, i will pick up my own copy to finish it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 What Murakami books should i get? I read Norwegian Wood and Sputnik Sweetheart already. my favorites, in order 1 - wind up bird chronicle 2 - kafka on the shore 3 - dance dance dance (but this kind of follows a Wild Sheep Chase, so that should be read first) 4 - Norwegian Wood 5 - A Wild Sheep Chase 6 - Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World his short story collections are all amazing as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Any word on this lately? It's been a lonnnnng time since I've gotten a book. also, if she doesnt get back to me, i will just put a second book into circulation. i will give her until Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm holding Breyanne's Book Hostage until she sends the ones she has out. So my book's reading order was The Shia Revival Wild Sheep Chase Hot Water Music. My book was called Sock so I guess that would have been what you should have gotten after Hot Water Music. I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 thanks dude, i was actually just about to ask for the locations of everything. It sounds like you got all all the books from our circle! by my count, i am still due Sock and The Shia Revival Matt - are you holding anything right now? I think it was only us 3 + Breyanne in our circle. Maybe we can coordinate getting as many of our books back into the owners hand, HWM can be kept hostage and start round two, less one member.

mcm1610 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 No, I sent off Hot Water Music when I finished it and haven't seen one since. In regards to reading, I finished Book I of Mathieson's Shadow Country, the trilogy of Killing Mr. Watson. It's fucking baaaaaaaaaadass. It's the book Chuck Ragan's "Bloody Shells" is based on.
