DLR Book Thread

[MAX]

I just finished "TOMMYLAND" it was stellar and had a ton of VH references. It mentioned a closet door falling on Dave's head at a party, he still kept yappin', didn't flinch and didn't spill a speck of his coke that he wasn't sharing with anyone. Great read.

Anyone else?

[academic punk]

That tale is also recounted by Vince in THE DIRT, which is even better! Really!

Otherwise, a Bill Hicks anthology has been my crapper read, and the "real" thing is The Human Stain by Philip Roth (not to be confused with "The Underwear Stain", about the life of jesterstar)

[LoungeMachine]

NOW you finally get around to our DLR Book Thread???

Hey Lounge,

Had to buy and read the fuckin' book first. :)

Oh yeah, I need to change the title huh? Hold on...........

Fuck, I'll have to get either Ally or Flappo to rename the thread title.

I just finished "You Got Nothing Coming: Stories from a Prison Fish" by Jimmy Lerner, a telephone co. worker who does time for manslaughter. I recommend this one. I'm almost done with "Fast Food Nation" If you're looking to lose weight or just cut out fast food in general, read this book. Interesting to say the least. When I'm done I'll be reading Jose Canseco's "Juiced". I plan on picking up "The Other Hollywood" about the porn industry. I like porn.

[Carmine]

Read "The Godfather Returns"....GET IT....READ IT!!

..working on "The Da Vinci Code" right now...

The Other Hollywood is kind of disappointing. Have you read the author's other, PLEASE KILL ME? It's about the punk scene of the 70s. Thta's CLASSIC.

Funnily, the author of Fast Food Nation has another book, "REEFER MADNESS, which isn't as good as FFN - at all - but it covers the same ground as a bulk of the other hollywood, and does it better.

Tell me what you think about it when you're finished Carmine...if you're like me you'll tear through it in a week because you won't be able to put it down.

I'm not looking forward to this movie either. I'll definitely go see it, but doubt it will do the book justice.

I believe its due to you, VanZ, from the "other" book thread, that I bought it in the first place, right? You read it, gave a brief summary and it sounded great!

in 4 chapters, started it last night. Thanks for the tip...

[Roguesgirl]

I am always reading something...I like to read a scary or intense book and then switch to something lighter. I just read "Deep Freeze" which was a thriller and now I am reading "Love Overboard" which is a cool little romantic comedy. :)

[vanzilla]

Here's a few I've finished with some quick reviews.

I Am Charlotte Simmons - Tom Wolfe. 700 pages of college life. Read how a girl from a po-dunk town loses her virginity! Wolfe is a long winded mother fucker, but it's worth it if you can stay with it.
Grade: B

When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? - George Carlin. Makes some funny points about the 10 Commandments that's sure to piss off religious people. Other that that just mindless ramblings.
Grade: D

America: The Book - Jon Stewart. Written in a textbook form, this is the book that is best read on the can. Funny as hell. Great pictures.
Grade: B

Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown. Christ, haven't we all read this by now?
Grade: A

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown. Christ, didn't we all go out and buy this after reading Da Vinci Code?
Grade: A

The Very Hungry Caterpiller - Eric Carle. My 10 month old daughter's favorite!
Grade: A

Crazy From the Heat - David Lee Roth. Required reading for anyone on this site.
Grade: A

The Alcholic's Guide to Wrecking a Career in Music - Ed Van Halen
Still a work in progress. Although some chapters have been completed for many years now.

Porn meisters....don't miss Jameson's 'How to Make Love like a Pornstar.' Moderately entertaining, honest. Slams DLR at one point, though.

King's Dark Tower series should be required reading for modernist pop culture neophytes like many of us Halenites seem to be.

[Roguesgirl]

neophytes??

sounds kinky... :p

Didn't much care fo it, myself, but my girlfriend borrowed it and loved it to death.

It's co-written by Neil Strauss, who also co-wrote THE DIRT and the Marilyn manson autobiography.

Just finished reading Terry Pratchett's 'The Color of Magic' and I'm halfway though his 'The Light Fantastic'. Awesome books, couldn't stop laughing my ass off. :lol:

Cheers! :bottle:

Took a couple of weeks, but I got through this one finally. A fuckin' page-turner.

I know what you mean. I grew up reading 'Treasure Island'. Started when I was eight, finished last week. :lol:

My friend, the only reason you and I can read at all is because of the CHURCH OF ALAN. Book 17, CATNIP AS AN APHRODISIAC, is the chapter that helped me nail the 24 letters of the alphabet that I'm aware of.

[Ally_Kat]

Jennifer Government is a gooood book.

Right now I have to read Cities of the Red Night and give a presentation for class. Ugh. Every other page there's nothing but man-butt sex. :(

I want to read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before I see the movie.

24? What are the other eight?

LOL....last time I quoted Jenna Jameson, people stormed. So before anybody gets their panties in a wad, yes, I know she's a porn star and her word means little when it comes to the Van Halen family. I'm just quoting her friggin' book, that's all. LOL.

A friend at the Crazy Horse in Vegas tells her,

"Did you know you were just dancing for David Lee Roth?"

"Yeah, what a letdown. I used to have wet dreams over him. But he was rude, irritating, and babbled incoherently the whole time."

[vanzilla]

Thanks man. Appreciate you taking a risk with that one!

[Matt White]

I remember her saying how she met him, was all stoked to sleep with him......and was then crushed when DAVE slept with her girlfriend instead of her.

Which Steve and Gram books? Didn't care for ben Fong-Torres' book on Gram. Chuck Klosterman is GREAT! Read sex, drugs and cocoa puffs!

Christmas Train by David Baldacci.

It may briefly reduce your testosterone to dangerously low levels, but worth the risk. No long term side effects observed.
