BruceH Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 I finally got the Bob Newhart Show Complete first Season Set. I'm settling in for a debut viewing now. ← Are you going to do a shot every time someone says "Hi Bob"? ← I have on occasion participated in that particular drinking game. You can get really trashed. ← Truly one of the great comedy shows of all time though. Quote
Dr. Rat Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 We do a morning show here starting at 6am. If someone gets in early, they just throw something we wouldn't normally play on until 6. A lot of times this is comedy. A couple of weeks ago we played an old Newhart record and got some very puzzeld responses . . . a lot of people just didn't get it at all. --eric Quote

I would definitely recommend it. Quote

jazzbo Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Yes, Eric, get "Civilizations." It's an interesting read. "Millenium". . . by John Varley? Yes, I read it more than a decade ago. . . . Quote
Matthew Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 The Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson by Richard Geldard. The more I read of Emerson, the more I'm convinced that he is America's greatest theologian. Very interesting to see how his conviction that everyone needs to have an "...original relation with the universe" is still a radical call in this day and age. Quote
Z-Man Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 "Millenium". . . by John Varley? Yes, I read it more than a decade ago. . . . ← Actually meant "Millenium" by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, author of "Civilizations". Basically a history of the last 1000 years in 800 pages. Looks fascinating. Quote
ASNL77 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) "The Fall of Yugoslavia" by Misha Glenny. Well written book about the war in former Yugoslavia between 1989 and 1993. Edited August 10, 2005 by ASNL77 Quote
jazzbo Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah, I just noticed you may have meant that "Millenium." I bet that is an interesting book, as interesting as "Civilizations" is. Quote

Kalo Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 ← How was it? Have you read Charles Sharr Murray's Crosstown Traffic? It's excellent, though more of a critical study of the music than a biography.. Quote
BruceH Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Hilarious! ← Anything like At Swim Two Birds? Quote
Brandon Burke Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Jonathan Safran Foer: Everything Is Illuminated ← me too. Quote
Brandon Burke Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Hilarious! ← every time it occurs to me to look for this, whatever shop i'm in at the time doesn't have any. O'Brien is fantastic! Quote
7/4 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 ← How was it? I dig it, it's been a long time since I read a Jimi bio. There were pre-London facts I didn't know about. He had a pretty fucked up chilhood. Have you read Charles Sharr Murray's Crosstown Traffic? It's excellent, though more of a critical study of the music than a biography.. ← No, I guess I should.

Chrome Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Orhan Pamuk: Istanbul ← How is this? I've heard it's quite good ... Quote
