Fav 5 Books

Bram Stoker - Dracula
Frank Herbert - Dune
Stephen King - The Stand
Dan Simmons - Hyperion
J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Also, there are book series that I love where I could never pick one out to be on that list because the series as a whole is amazing to me.

Where is that NEEERRRD gif again...

 

[FlammableD]

Does she still go by Blue Pants or is she done milking that 15 minutes of fame?

Depends who's booking her

 

[Kaladin]

Where is that NEEERRRD gif again...

Yes, I love fantasy and sc-fi. Reading is an escape, just like wrestling can be.

Don't you have some posters for a professional wrestling video game federation to create?

I could do Fav 5 Authors, books there's just way too many of to narrow down. Either way I know King would be in the top

 

[Bluekaveli]

They didn't!? What do i miss?

Showed the aftermath of the screwjob. Whereas the live version it was so abrupt like a wcw episode where Tony tells you the tapes are rolling and we'll see you on Thunder lol.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Man this Thessa Blanchard / Rachael Ellering match is damn good. I think it alone is worth the price of the VOD.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Oh man I've only read like 3 books.

 

[Beefy]

Only ever read 3 books completely.

 

[Sephzilla]

I read comic books and wait for the popular books to get turned into movies.

I honestly blame high school for my general displeasure of books.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Rowling booking Ginny to be Harry's new valet after the Harry/Cho gimmick was dropped was an absolute disaster. You spend 2 books building up all this heat for Luna only to give the pay-off to a midcarder that you already did the #1 Fan story with. Just a bad call all around.

As far as authors go, it's a tie between Stephen King and my favorite fantasy author Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson writes series that I love and has no real standalone book that would go in my fav list, but Stephen King writes books that I love and depending on the time of day I could swap out The Stand with another.

I like things, too, Kaladin. I like things, too.

PM me if you'd like a professional-grade print for your living room.

I'm dyslexic, so books piss me off.

 

[Sephzilla]

*Shrug* When you're constantly forced to read books you have little to no care for it has a habit of turning you off to them in general.

 

[Zach]

Beefy gets a pass.

Not you, though, Sephzilla. Not you.

 

[jmdajr]

I like books but by the time I want to read it puts me to sleep. Heck, when I read my kid's children books I start yawning uncontrollably. It's mostly do stuff like autobiographies, but I do like books, just wish I could stay woke.

I do read a ton of articles though. Go to digg, see what's interesting to read, and do so.

I just read a whole article about how 2/3's of all cancer are pretty much due to chance. It's not that simple though as each particular cancer is different. So while lung cancer is like 70 percent environmental, prostate cancer is 90% chance. No matter how much fucking broccoli you eat while exercising, your prostate has a high chance to get fucked up. Hereditary risk are actual very low for all cancers. I was surprised.

 

[Sephzilla]

Beefy gets a pass.

Not you, though, Sephzilla. Not you.

I also quite frankly don't have enough time for books. I barely have time for video games these days FFS lol

 

[Kaladin]

That's why I'm not a fan of forcing the heavy classics on high school students. Some people pick it up and love it, sure, but others are turned away when they feel like reading is a chore.

OH, REALLY, MAN WHO OPERATES A FAUX FAUX SPORTS LEAGUE???

 

[Zach]

Like that time I had to read The Great Gatsby in school. Just kill me already, I said.

Yeah, reading turned into a chore especially when it was for a story I have little to no investment in. At that age you've already developed a basic level of taste for what types of stories and characters entertain you and trigger your brain, so forcing some classics on people can really have a negative effect.

OH, REALLY, MAN WHO OPERATES A FAUX FAUX SPORTS LEAGUE???

I MAKE TIME FOR GWF BECAUSE I LOVE THIS BUSINESS

 

[Zach]

Sephzilla gets a pass.

That just leaves us with no-good-excuse OwensIsNow.

 

[FlammableD]

lol WCPW are actually building for a Joe Hendry vs Matt Striker match

 

[jmdajr]

I remember for class we would take turns reading portions in our text books. Now I know it's because my teachers were too lazy to make a lesson plan.

How can you learn when you are fucking bored to death.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Reading is for dumb nerd mark loser jabronies so I aren't doing they.

No one is clicking on that shit

 

[Angry Grimace]

No one is clicking on that shit

It's just that video of Reigns saying he bootlegged Moana because he doesn't care if the Rock gets money.

 

[Kaladin]

No one is clicking on that shit

It's just him talking in an interview about bootlegging Moana.

 

[Sephzilla]

Like that time I had to read The Great Gatsby in school. Just kill me already, I said.

For me it was a one-two punch of Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird. Lord of the Flies wasn't long but it was like "ok we get it kids can be little shits, stop beating it over our heads". Mockingbird was a decent story but I just didn't give a single shit about it because it didn't fit any level of what I consider engaging or entertaining.

 

[Beefy]

Roman pirated Moana.

 

[Bluekaveli]

It's just that video of Reigns saying he bootlegged Moana because he doesn't care if the Rock to gets money.

It's just him talking in an interview about bootlegging Moana.

It's over 8 hours old. Get out of here with that ancient shit.

Doing some early prep for a WrestleMania preview...if the Smackdown Tag Championship makes it on the card, there will be 14 matches. Jesus fuck.

shane could learn a thing or two about believable strikes from that cat

 

[Sephzilla]

cat punches are the most hilarious thing ever

But I liked Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird!

(Actually, I've never read TKAM, only seen the movie. >_>)

Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere

[Kaladin]

Cliff Notes were my shit back in high school.

 

[Kaladin]

Neil Gaiman would be like third on my favorite authors list.

 

[Beefy]

[Zach]

I could've gone to a Neil Gaiman lecture not long ago but I was like naaaaaah.

(I've read one of those Sandman graphical nerd booklets, though, and it was interesting.)

 

[The Strokes]

Neil Gaiman's Batman book is better than Alan Moore's take and most of Frank Miller's Batman stories. And that's a shoot.

A movie ticket cost more than the phone case Emma stole, so Reigns should be suspended and off TV for longer than she did
