Currently reading "The Devil's Larder" by Jim Crace. A very pleasant gathering of short fictions about food, sex, desire and its death. There are many good ones to reflect on and laugh about. However this one just struck me as odd and reminded me of our various masturbation threads and a tinge of Dali:
"Spitting in the omelette is a fine revenge. Or overloading it with pepper. But take care not to masturbate into the mix, as someone in the next village did, sixty years ago. The eggs got pregnant. When he heated them they grew and grew, becoming quick and lumpy, until they could outwit him (and all his hungry guests waiting with beer and bread out in the yard) by leaping from the pan with their half-wings and running down the lane like boys."
Anyone reading anything good and wanna share?

I just finished reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk(Also wrote Fight Club). It was a great book but defenantly not his best. If anyone is interested in good read, pick up Survivor: A Novel (has NOTHING to do with the tv show).
It’s a great book about a guy living his life in a cult where knowing one day he’ll have to kill himself. But when that day comes, he doesn’t go threw with it. A fantastic book with some awesome quotes!
"Since change is constant, you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way they can get anything really finished."
"To stand here and try and fix her life is just a big waste of time. People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown."
I highly recommend it for EVERYONE!

I'm working on Stranger in a Strange Land. Tough to grok, but Heinlein is awesome.
