JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on Feb 04 2008 12:17 AM I bought Milan Kundera's the Book of Laughter and Forgetting today. I can't wait to get the chance to read that. Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being is my personal favorite book. Top

"The Road to Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek "A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century...F. A. Hayek (1899-1992), recipient of the Medal of Freedom in 1991 and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1974, was a pioneer in monetary theory and the principal proponent of libertarianism in the twentieth century."

Hayek is my god - though my system is duo-theistic - Hayek's teacher Ludwig von Mises shares the supreme position in the universe with Hayek. (Unfortunately, they've both taken after other, more traditional, deities in their complicated writing - not easy to read that stuff.)

tonybologna Joined: Mar 06, 2006 Posts: 796 Oakland	Posted on Feb 04 2008 12:05 PM Just finished this book: Book about the beginnings of the American punk movement: Velvet Underground, MC5, the Stooges, the Deadboys, etc. Great read. It's absolutely amazing that Iggy Pop is still alive. — Science friction burns my fingers. Top
CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Feb 04 2008 02:26 PM Tony, That's one of my all-time favorites. There's a similarly great one about British punk: image Highly, highly recommended. -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
tonybologna Joined: Mar 06, 2006 Posts: 796 Oakland	Posted on Feb 05 2008 02:18 AM Thanks Warren, I'll have to check it out. I have to admit that I know much less about British punk. If only I could find sometime to read between these exciting differential equations. — Science friction burns my fingers. Top

Waxhead Joined: Oct 07, 2007 Posts: 43	Posted on Feb 21 2008 08:16 PM Just finished a great book called "On the Road". It's a book of short stories with the road as it's theme. Some great short stories, including of course Jack Kerouac. Now I'm reading The Surfers Journal, which I think is the best surfing mag out there. Current edition has an article on Estoban Bojorques and his art, including jerrycan lap steel guitars. Waxhead Top
RobbieReverb Joined: Feb 28, 2006 Posts: 2345 San Jose, Ca.	Posted on Feb 21 2008 11:39 PM I finally picked up Tom Wheeler's "The Soul of Tone: Celebrating 60 Years of Fender Amps". Wow!!!!!!!!! What a phenominal book! I'm about halfway through it (the Blackface Era), and am totally engrossed in it. The facts, interviews, anecdotes, photos... all first rate. I haven't listened to the 2 CD's yet. This wonderful package is a "must- read" for most of the people in this group. I can barely put it down. Well worth every penny spent. Bob — Bob Top
tonybologna Joined: Mar 06, 2006 Posts: 796 Oakland	Posted on Feb 21 2008 11:50 PM image I'm reading this for my Philosophy of Science course. It examines how science evolves and develops from set paradigms to new scientific revolutions. Really interesting, although a bit dense. — Science friction burns my fingers. Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Feb 22 2008 02:05 AM I barely made a dent in John Sinclair's "Guitar Army" before shelving it. Right now I'm working my way through some of P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories, and I'm re-reading JD Salinger's "Nine Stories." -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
dp Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 3546 mojave desert, california	Posted on Feb 22 2008 11:25 AM CaptainSpringfield ... and I'm re-reading JD Salinger's "Nine Stories." "For Esme-with Love and Squalor" what a great short story, a true classic gem! "A Perfect Day for a Bananafish": what a brutally frank depiction of depression...don't you think? The short story opens the door to the longer exposition found in "Seymour: An Introduction". Top
SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on Feb 23 2008 05:43 PM dp "For Esme-with Love and Squalor" what a great short story, a true classic gem! What's even better is that the title has manifested itself twice in modern rock music: Jawbreaker (a beloved Bay Area band) had a song entitled "For Esme" which appeared only on their live album. and.... We Are Scientist named their first album "With Love and Squalor" See, reading and rocking go hand-in-hand. I just read "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter - it's basically a re-telling of old childhood tales with a lot more sex and violence. Pretty awesome. ~B~ Top

PolloGuitar Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 5092 San Francisco	Posted on Mar 12 2008 06:50 PM Three fun ones in a row: The autobiography of Don Letts- a man with the amazing abilitity to be in the right place at the right time, so many times. image Courtesy of Outsides, a tale of abuse, alcohol, and abuse, but at least Ronnie Spector got out alive. Courtesy of dannysnyder, a history of one of the best bands ever, The Fleshtones. (I can't believe enough people want to read about the Fleshtones to warrant a book getting published!) After reading these three books, I can only surmise that to be famous, one must ingest superhuman amounts of alcohol and drugs, and in the end, it's really not worth it. — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top

I look through this one all the time at the record store. Some overwhelmingly bad taste in decorating that mansion. The kitchen is particularly ugly! And the jungle room....
