I was using a clever quote to illustrate the fact that The Old Man and the Sea takes 20 minutes to read. And don't call me Shirley.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was written as a response to the movie.

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is an excellent choice.

I second that. Great book. Good mix of things too, great writing, tough read, but also entertaining as hell.

I'm currently trying to get into this, about 150 pages in.

Part of me wants to just wrap it in C4 and blow it to a million pieces.

A Lover's Discourse

I have to second this, heartily.

Barthes is a fantastic thinker and writer, and you may think you won't get into it, but it is REALLY good.

I want to go back to read it again, now.

You're reading the foot notes and end notes as you go? Either way though, it's like that. Hang in there.

how about the intelligent investor by benjamin graham? This is essentially the holy grail for investing literature and is a good introduction to the field in general.
