Sup homeys.

You're all keeping out of mischief I hope?

So basically the main point of this topic revolves around the fact that I just accidentally wiped my ipod. Yeah. Smart move hey. What's a good, easy, free program to use to rip all the music from my old ipod that still has music onto this one again?

And, since I'm sure this question will be answered fairly fast, I'll throw you guys another question...

I'm just starting to get into reading books. Can anyone recommend any good ones for me? Key points to note are:

- I have a short attention span.

- I only read autobiographies.

- I like reading about sport and music.

- I'm a Aussie, so I don't care for weird sports like baseball, ice hockey etc

- I hate reading about pretentious cunts who are clearly telling half the story to cover their asses.

I just finished reading the Motley Crue one.. that was awesome. I luff me some sex and drugs stories.

Cheers bruz! xoxo

walk this way, aerosmith autobiography, i enjoyed it

Scar Tissue was quite enjoyable, can get a bit tedious though. Stear clear of Kurt Cobain's biography, worst shit I ever read. Marilyn Manson's looks interesting, I cracked it open in the book store recently and read only a few pages, but might gab it one of these days.

stop droping hints, we're not doing secret santa!!!! and even if we were, none of us love you enough to get you something you actually want.

you'd get a turnip from me!

No shit but Vic Reeves autobiography was fucking hilarious. Probably because most of the time you don't whether he's being serious or not. Funniest autobiography I've ever read and not in the least pretentious. But being an aussie you're probably not too fussed about the memoirs of an obscure Northern English Comedian.

Sweet as. Yeah that Scar tissue one about the Red Hot Chili Peppers is definitely on my to-buy list.

I actually ended up buying a new book yesterday - Nikki Syxx: The Heroin Diaries. I haven't started reading it yet, but it pretty much seems like an individual follow up to the Motley Crue book I've just read, so it should be interesting.

Strictly only Autobiogs?

Ummm well yeah pretty much hey. I've never really gotten into fiction books. The last one I've read, not including 1/4 of a Harry Potter book, is the Magic Faraway Tree series by Enid Blyton.. lawl. Haha nah I shouldn't mock them, they were actually awesome.

I'm fairly new to books. If it wasn't an autobiography, I assume it would have to be something unbelievably awesome to catch my attention long enough to read the book.

Anyone have any new suggestions for me?

Since my last post, I've read:

- TommyLand: The Tommy Lee Story... a little outrageous but entertaining and straight up.

- Scar Tissue... like Matt said before, it was pretty tedious and a little repetitive at times, but it was good.

- ROY: Andrew Symonds... was good if you have a bit of background knowledge about cricket.

I know the name, but I'm honestly not too sure who he is... I'll definately suss it out.

I've just recently bought a few more books.. they kind of contrast to say the least.

- Of mice and Men

- Animal farm

(Those were two books I was made to read in school back in the day.. I think I could actually apprieciate them now rather then just use it as a doorstop.)

- Tony Hawks Auto-biography

Posted

haha yeah, that was a cartoon hey? I think we had to watch it.

no... i mean a different 1... go research it ;)

Catcher in the Rye is my favourite book ever, and extremely easy to read even with a short attention span.

Posted

The Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, and Heart of Darkness. 3 books I've read in the past year, and loved all of them.

Mark Chapman was obsessed with Catcher in the Rye. As a bit of trivia, my friend's grandmother lent John Lennon a copy of the book when they were at University together.

You have picked 3 of the most influential, cultural and classical pieces, that there is no way you have read them all in the last year.

It's almost as bad as saying that you've read the Koran, the Bible and the Guru Granth Sahib in the last year.

Serious Irony.

I don't know about that. Maybe if he'd said he read War and Peace, The Illiad and Ulysses.

what he means was he put on a divine comedy album, played burnout paradise, watched a bit of lost, but he still hearts playing the darkness. you fools
