I did work out a lot for 2 months in jail and I got pretty toned for my size. I did it every day and didnt' drink so I got some gains real quick.

I've read everything Stephen King has ever written, including all his magazine short stories from when he was a kid. I've also read all his books and stories writing under the pseudonym, Richard Bachman. -
2020-02-13 at 4:52 AM UTCbut yeah the thing I like about spectral is he's talked about reading books and reading is fundamental. I don't do it as often as I should but I'm trying to get back into the habit of it. This girl at work she's really pretty and when I saw her on her break one day she was reading a book and yeah I guess I interrupted her but I wanted to talk to her and ask her what she was reading.
My favorite author is phillip k dick. But I'm reading clive barker now books of blood. -

thats cool, he came out with a new one that was just a bunch of short stories, I can't remember the name off the top of my head but like with everything some of it wasn't that appealing.
dance macabre was actually one of my favorite books my him, I got into him literally because my aunt when I'd go to her house as a kid had a badass shelf of his books and I'd go look it at it and she would ask me what I wanted to read and give them to me, a very smart lady.
Cycle of the werewolf was also cool. -
2020-02-13 at 4:57 AM UTCHaha no way James Franco directed a film version, Child of God. I always imagined that being too fucked up to turn into a movie.
Some insane cunt just basically going through hill billy land butchering people. -

Cormac McCarthy's are quite disturbing as well. He wrote The Road, Child of God, and No Country for old men.

Yeah it's well made but a lot of people are put off. I think cause the storyline is so convuluted with themes of drug addiction/ deception/ futuristic tech/ politics that they struggle to follow what is actually going on. A lot of my friends were too impatient too understand.
The film ending is mad but somewhat relatable. Phillip K Dick includes a list of all his friends throughout his life that have died as a result of drugs. What he says kind of sums up the culture which has encompassed almost every user on Totse, and all legacy sites from Zoklet to NIS.This has been a novel about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did. They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street; they could see one after another of them being killed—run over, maimed, destroyed—but they continued to play anyhow. We really all were very happy for a while, sitting around not toiling but just bullshitting and playing, but it was for such a terrible brief time, and then the punishment was beyond belief: even when we could see it, we could not believe it…. For a while I myself was one of these children playing in the street; I was, like the rest of them, trying to play instead of being grown up, and I was punished. I am on the list below, which is a list of those to whom this novel is dedicated, and what became of each.
Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgment. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style. In this particular life-style the motto is “Be happy now because tomorrow you are dying.” But the dying begins almost at once, and the happiness is a memory. It is, then, only a speeding up, an intensifying, of the ordinary human existence. It is not different from your life-style, it is only faster. It all takes place in days or weeks or months instead of years. “Take the cash and let the credit go,” as Villon said in 1460. But that is a mistake if the cash is a penny and the credit a whole lifetime.
There is no moral in this novel; it is not bourgeois; it does not say they were wrong to play when they should have toiled; it just tells what the consequences were. In Greek drama they were beginning, as a society, to discover science, which means causal law. Here in this novel there is Nemesis: not fate, because any one of us could have chosen to stop playing in the street, but, as I narrate from the deepest part of my life and heart, a dreadful Nemesis for those who kept on playing. So, though, was our entire nation at this time. This novel is about more people than I knew personally. Some we all read about in the newspapers. It was, this sitting around with our buddies and bullshitting while making tape-recordings, the bad decision of the decade, the sixties, both in and out of the establishment. And nature cracked down on us. We were forced to stop by things dreadful.
If there was any ‘sin’, it was that these people wanted to keep on having a good time forever, and were punished for that, but, as I say, I feel that, if so, the punishment was far too great, and I prefer to think of it only in a Greek or morally neutral way, as mere science, as deterministic impartial cause-and-effect. I loved them all. Here is the list, to whom I dedicate my love:
To Gaylene deceased
To Ray deceased
To Francy permanent psychosis
To Kathy permanent brain damage
To Jim deceased
To Val massive permanent brain damage
To Nancy permanent psychosis
To Joanne permanent brain damage
To Maren deceased
To Nick deceased
To Terry deceased
To Dennis deceased
To Phil permanent pancreatic damage
To Sue permanent vascular damage
To Jerri permanent psychosis and vascular damage
…and so forth.
In Memoriam. These were comrades whom I had; there are no better. They remain in my mind, and the enemy will never be forgiven. The ‘enemy’ was their mistake in playing. Let them all play again, in some other way, and let them be happy. -
2020-02-13 at 5:14 AM UTCHoly shit just reading that has given me an overwhelming sense of not wanting to do drugs ever again.
I really do not want to play anymore.
Thanks Phillip! -

One of his best books is The Talisman (co-authored by Peter Straub), and also the follow up Black House (also co-authored by Straub). Those two books will blow your mind. Another great one is The Stand (unedited version). Another great one is The Regulators. -

The stand sucks. The only thing King ever wrote that was worth reading he wrote with the help of Straub. But they were great books. -
