bookworm sub cult

My latest buys...



Hope I get to read it because I've been neglecting reading books lately. Blame it on the Ipad. Fact is, I have still unread books on my shelf. Anyway this reminds me of the "golden rule" my late brother used to teach me and which I believe in until now... "it's always okay to spend hard-earned money on two things - food and books."

[I also added to the golden rule... it's okay to spend money on SHOES, CLOTHES, GADGETS AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES]

beat generation sub cult

The book read by most of the "cool people of the universe."




And here's an excerpt from the book quoted by most of the "cool people of the universe..."

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!"
