Pretty interesting book.

I heard stories that the methods of the main character actually works in real life

Sorta why i picked it up. Im curious to see wat its all about. I havent seen a bad review yet

You shouldn't have told people on this board fam.  The more people that know about it the more likely girls will find out about it the less likely those methods will work. 

Guys, whoever reads this book don't tell your real life friends about it.  Better for all men that way.

I'm like 150 pages deep into Too Big to Fail.

I've heard The Facebook Effect is awesome though.

The Crying of Lot 49. It's

. It really makes you think about human nature and our need for certainty and order.

Stop being an elitist tool. You shouldn't need to rely on a book to get laid and I highly doubt the dude that wrote that book would want you to take his techniques and use them to death without adding any variance of your own.

An elitist tool, me? 

Never said anything about not adding variance to what's in the book.  That is good.  Never said anything about using the tools in the book strictly to get laid either. 

But if a woman knows you are using tools from a book to talk to her what do you think she is going to do? 

 

[budweiser]

Picking this up soon. Said to be like an Irish-American Trainspotting.

Like many a hip young literary antihero these days, the protagonist ofthis hilarious if aimless debut is sunk in slacker anomie. Shane has amonotonous temp job at an insurance agency, where he is supposed toalphabetize paperwork but instead spends his time sleeping on thetoilet. After work, he is besieged by a gallery of grotesques: a vapidgirlfriend who sexually brutalizes him; an absurdly macho neighbor witha leather-clad guinea pig for a sex slave; and his dentist's deafassistant, who sings atonal karaoke, teaches him to sign obscenitiesand furnishes a wispy narrative thread by getting murdered. In a worldboth banal and assaultive, Shane can only drink, steal salt shakers andcultivate his sense of irony; "[t]here's only so much you can do," heshrugs, "and even that's not worth the trouble." Shane's malaisedoesn't feel earned; job aside, there are just too many gonzogoings-on—the landlord, for instance, is paying him to have sex withhis wife—for him to feel so listless. There's not much to Shane besidesa defiant dejectedness, but from that Neilan spins many sparkling comicriffs on the tawdriness and sterility of American life.

I love this book - I usually give it to people to read a litmus test of sort to see if they think its funny or terrible.  Those who think its terrible get cut.

half of the women that these idiots went after and fell for their !%*! probably haven't even read a single book, pretty sure they won't have to worry about it.

Great book. The movie is pretty spot on too
I got my hands on A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I have yet to read it. Too many books, so little time

About half way done with this... really great book for younger folks who want to get personal finances under control. 

 

[dmvbatman]

Just went through about 90% of this whole thread and the ender's game has been mentioned more than 10 times.

The last lecture was mentioned alot in the earlier pages of this thread also.

Those two books are sitting on the "Next to Read" shelf on my Nook.
I'm currently working on The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis.

It sucks how much my leisure reading has slowed down since school started back up.

One of the best finance novel's I've read.

AIG was full of idiots

 

[tmay407]

TIDG (or anyone else),

You got any finance/business profile recommendations? Right now I have Too Big to Fail, The Facebook Effect, More Money than God, and Lords of Finance lined up. I'm looking for more to add to the list so that I have different options to choose from depending on what I'm feeling like reading.
