frying on acid late last night and decided to start up this new hendrix biography i just recently got, pretty interesting read so far. the LSD made me paranoid of course so I kept wondering if it's true or if the writer is making shit up but it seems like there's legit research involved. The foreword pretty much explained that hendrix didn't technically overdose on drugs but was killed, crazy girlfriend gave him hella sleeping pills and drowned him in wine on the bed. of course it seems like such a perfect scenario for a conspiracy theory that i became very skeptical but it seems like it has some truth in it.

Reading KRS-One's The Gospel of Hip Hop. There are some good things from it and some I don't like, it does have good points about hip hop culture, I've been watching some other documentaries too and realized again how hip hop is a culture you live and part of who you are, not just about making songs to become famous, and thats the difference between hip hop and rap, hip hop is the culture you live in and who you are, rap is just making music but you're not really part of the culture.
But anyway on the book lol, the main problem I have with the book so far is this god figure he's bringing into it, i've only just started reading it though. Its more like a book about a "God" that happens to use hip hop, he says hip hop is proof that "god" is real etc. As an atheist and even if I was a christian its hard to get into that
Also reading Richard Dawkins "The Greatest Show on Earth", its about evolution, so far its really fascinating, it had a few boring bits but now its getting really interesting. Just finished reading Stephen Kings "It" not long ago, its a huge book, took me a long time to read but fuckin awesome. Glad they're remaking the movie for that too coz the movie was such an injustice to it

Nothing. I haven't read for a damn thing for months. Got halfway through a Donal Duck book... I get books that I find interesting, put them on my nightstand, but never get reading. idkwtf. Got them by stacks:
Biochemistry and molecular biology.
Elementary biochemistry.
The Modern Physics' Breakthrough: The Quantum Theory.
A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
7 Days in Hell
King Solomon's Mines
The Photo Album + The Diary (both by two norwegian broads)
And I've got myself a little handbook with ballbreakers for the brains. "Mesmerizing Mind-Bending Puzzles" it's called. Some Mensa shit. Can't even get myself to read those. Partly because the translation from english to danish is fucking terrible, and partly the same reason I don't read anything else, which I don't actually know why. I guess it's just easier to turn on the computer and watch a sitcom or to whip up a sudoku. I play it on my ipod when at work. I've made 2300 of your best american dollars playing that thing. Did the hardest level (easy, medium, hard, expert, *insane*) in under 3 and a half minute. That's fucking world class, baby!

Is that an educational book or a political book or a philosophical book? Or fiction? Though it sounds like non-fiction.

its basically an autobiography. really felt like reading fiction at first but its all real.
Set in a small and tight-knit community of "honest criminals" in a remote part of the former Soviet Union, this is a tale of an extreme childhood - exotic, violent, and completely unique.
Nicolai Lilin gained his "education" as a member of the Siberian Urkas - a self-contained criminal fraternity - in a forgotten corner of Eastern Europe. It was a remarkable upbringing, defined by an elaborate set of rituals and strict codes of honour. Crime was all pervasive. The community had a deep distrust of outsiders - especially the police and state authorities - and split itself into "honest" and "dishonest" criminals. Even their youngest children were taught to understand violence and when it was appropriate to use it. By the age six Nicolai had been given his first "pike knife" by an uncle, and by the age of twelve he had been convicted of an attempted murder.

Hunger games crept up on me and errybodi started raving about it. Therefore I cannot read it now, too mainstream.

Alright, I will. PC is forcing me to go dry turkey, screen doesn't register it being on, or maybe it stalls on startup... Fixed the router, in same process that finalled connection raped my screen. Maybe it's the graphic card... Vista IS a twisted bitch.

Fixed my PC, so I guess it'll be 1-4 years before I read it.
