Superfreaky Whores
Seems the freakonmics guys have written a new book and its controversial if nothing else. They cover global warming, it seems they are ignorant on the subject and say nothing your standard denialist wouldnt say, and they cover prostitutes. I dont get their drift but its winding a few people up. I know hundreds of [...]
A Short Story by Dodgy
The smell of her cunt permeated the small room. It was not a particularly pleasant smell, something akin to the odour of old fish heads that one might use to bait a crabpot. He thought about it, the fact that sex often smells and decided to have a crack anyway.
Taking out his member he popped [...]
The Secret
I found this review on Amazon in the comments on a blog I came accross. The blog is Locklin on science and you can read the other reviews by Ari Brouillette here. I very much like this style of writting.

Carlos Castaneda
Carlos, of course, found great pleasure in obscuring his trail but he was up against infinity herself so theres plenty to be found by energy seekers. One is the book by Amy Wallace, people whose assemblage points are stick in the mud cling to her like a bible, and she does a great job of [...]
Carlos Castaneda – Erasing Personal History

The great artists of the past century tended to become famous in the later stages of their careers, whereas today fame is built into the artists’ work from the start, as in the [...]
“Imagine the life of a beautiful woman for a moment”
“Ever since she was little, she’s been told…”
I was trying to find a Carlos Castenada quote on the internet but to no avail. Its about how difficult it is for a beautiful woman to overcome her self importance because everyone worships her for her looks. Im pretty sure this short snippet I found is the [...]
Rafael Sabatini – Captain Blood
Rafael Sabatini is no longer fashionable but from the 1920s to 50s or so he was one of the biggest selling authors around, and for good reason. He was a brilliant writer of tragi-comedies in the medium of historical romance. Captain Blood was perhaps his best known novel and was adopted as a film starring [...]
Rudyard Kipling
Havent read any for about 20 years so thought I would have a look, heres a few quotes, they dont really capture my memory but nice anyway -
‘And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves “It’s pretty, but is it [...]
