Pfft why swap brains when you could copy and combine to create a super awesome H+ ubermemory.  Then just plug in and load any extra knowledge you need or want.  Kinda like in Existenz but less slimey.

I think I'll take the full 'Ninja Training Manual' and 'The Hackers Guide to the Universe' k thanx

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

That's a good idea, we then expand so we;re able to have 3000 simultanious crosslinked skype like conversations with their own avatars. and even able to play a panel of characters in each conversation. Don't think it would be like the minor panic and split attention of keeping different pots cooking on a cooker to make a meal, it would be more like when we talk and drive, we have a conversation with the car and with the passenger because we're hard wired to do that, one uses the subconscious and the other the conscious. What if we had 3000 consciouses all the same person like our current 2 thinking engines.

You could chat to other uber brains by having a panel of charecters acting a story like a movie the other uber brains charecters would be in the same virtual space all interacting creatively and emotionally. imagine if the colours and form we occupied in that space were abstract so we could tactile feel colours and shapes as we touch aginst our own thoughts and those of others, imagine having 100 times the skin nerve endings we have now or virtual nerve endings we could arrange in to different shapes and creative experiences all interacting and touching others or breezes or heat stinging to soft or creating new senses we couldn't describe here.  and all happening 300,000 times faster than humans can think.  After that talking to mere human people would be kind of slow and boring, you'd need 3000 of them to make it interesting   Wow I've got carried away agian, this was suppose to be a yeah downloading knowledge would be cool post I have to go to work now though I may discuss this with some of the customers

If only I hadn't just borrowed all those Baby Sitters Club books from the library...then I would need shelves like these to put them on.

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

i have a terrible memory, but i remember where each and every book i own was purchased from.  i have no idea how i remember this, or why, but they are my safe haven.

I'm the same and like you, I look for art books when I meet someone new as I do jazz and classical in their music
Also how they decorate their walls.

I met a gal, really nice and things were moving along nicely and I invited her to my house for coffee. The first thing she commented was my rather large collection of Carole Lombard photos. "Do you expect me to compete with her!" The woman died in 1942.
Next, I have a framed poster of the late John Cippolina in my den. She asked why I had a poster of Tiny Tim. Date over.
But books are a must. I usually note the poetry someone has. Big plus is, "Spoon River Anthology". And a clincher is the poetry of Akhmatova. Never met any woman who knew who Akhmatova was.

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

I fantasise about owning a house in which I have a book shelf that needs a sliding ladder.. it's as much about dancing up and down the thing as about the books therein.  But (and luckily) I've never fucked or found anyone attractive because of their book collection.  If anything, I've tended to find that most people who have too many books are tossers or wankers and just the sort of people that I have tried to avoid in art exhibition openings, theatre lobbies and cool cafes.. but occasionally you meet someone who genuinely digs literature for what it is and then the conversation is scintillating.  But I'm more likely to go home and masturbate because my brain feels alive then to want to fuck them.   But the best and most likely book to impress me is a kid's book by a dutch guy "Het je ouf mein kop gepoeped?" or something to that effect, about a mole who gets a poo on his head and goes around asking all the farm yard if they crapped on his head - complete with answers and the best onomatopoea (sp??) that I've ever seen.. totally hilarious and irreverent and a book that I want to own one day.
Anyhoo, that's just my experience of things...  but I did share that photo on facebook because it made me laugh. 
And I'm all for tough love with books.  Beware of loaning me books - they'll come back looking a little worn.  (Never quite got into the library bag habit).  I tend to always have a stack of books in my bag wherever I go.  Some for writing in, some for reading, and lately, because I'm reading German, a dictionary too.
But I do agree with the best seller/self help turn off.  And I will probably never own a kindle or an i-pad.. there is something so very awesome about a book and it's transportable nature.  I had to smile when I read Gavin Young's "Slow Boats Home", with his suitcase full of books and a couple of bottles of whisky.  And Viva, I relate to the poor childhood and stacks of books.  (And it took years to get the Harlequin Romance bullshit out of my head... 14 - 17 was a bad age!).

But, if someone reads me the first few lines of "Lolita" and truly gets the beauty of that opening.. well..

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

Not a guy in the thread yet. We tend to be more drawn to "if you go home with someone and they don't have sex toys should you fuck them?"

Would the books change my interest in the fuck?  For casual sex, a shelf full of paperback, beach-read mind candy would suck some of the fun out of it, would rather not see any books at all.   And... some the best casual sex nights have been pure animal-body-senses focused.   What made it great was a wide-open sexuality and transparency which is not always well read.

But anything more than just one night?  Books cover much ground for me.  A shortcut to knowing what is coming.  An eclectic mix would be hot; sci-fi (old school), biographies of recent entrepreneurs and historical rebels, recent thought provoking fiction (at least to me): time travelers wife, blind assassin, history of love. Romantics like John Irving. Troublemakers like Tom Robbins.  Great premise/great character fiction:  Dragon Tattoo trilogy.  A book mix that reflects ADD tendencies and broad interests.  Great fodder for later; "is a 35 year old stranger mentoring an 16 year old in the forest exciting or disturbing?"

And...much to be said for an anything goes, we may not ever see each other again, you are so fucking hot, tomorrow might never come, screw the books, amygdala at full throttle...Fuck.

I didn't read those books, I devoured them. And, if you enjoyed the original films, you need to see the new release. Rooney Mara is a hot property, in more ways than one.

That I'm gender confused...my apologies WLV as you were clearly the point of the spear.

The first third of Dragon Tattoo was a slow build...wait for it...wait for it..., and then it just grabbed and pulled all the way through all three books. You could tell he was a fresh writer, but my goodness, Salander was brilliant.  And the build to the comeuppance.  Still have this vivid memory of that nail gun scene.  Genius.  Sad thing he died as I understand he had many more in the works.

Haven't been able to talk anyone into seeing the "Feel Bad Movie of the Year" with me yet. Looking forward to it when I do.

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

Akhmatova - done and dusted. have a Vintage Classic edition.  poetry is one of my Things.  my partner in smutty crime, Dom_c, also book-slut, is also familiar with that russian wordsmith, WLV612.  introduced to me by a penpal.  poetry for me though is really random in what i like.

i've got an obsessive love of the second gen. romantics, but not Keats. i don't like keats. however, i've got a first edition PB Shelley, and two really early collections of the complete works of Byron.  with age, (i bought these in my late teens) they are less relevant, and Larkin's brand of misanthropy, mingled with the pessimism of the novels of Kawabata, Yates and various other people, tend to mark me out more. but i'm a bit all over the place. 

music, i tend to be less fussy, and love being ignorant of. in fact, same with books. i love nothing more than completely unfamiliar things on someone else's shelves.

Oh, no apology needed. It just kinda ended and I wondered where you were going.
I'm not "thin skinned" in any way. ( I need to make it clear I drew no inference from what you posted. It seemed as if you had a thought and I merely wondered where it was going. I'm the last person on this site who has a right to call anyone out. But my reply is a bit provocative and I'm the one who should apologize.)

Agree with all above. The last thought most of all. Yes it was the end of a great fictional character but more to the point, the loss of a very gifted writer.

Ha ha thanks, at last a book I can read and enjoy Which I did low fi here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTGhc7Ouoo4 and you can buy it here http://www.fishpond.com.au/Books/Story- … 1856024402

So in the context of this thread your a mum and you bring someone your hot for home and they end up reading your kids books and playing with their toys. Actually poppers are my favourate toy, you turn them inside out and set them down and they pop and launch into the air. http://www.carnivalsource.com/store/p/1 … ozen-.html their great! you can put them on drums, your forehead and the metal shade of a desk lamp goes off with a ping. Just got mine out and it popped and landed in a small whole in the wall just above the skirting I made for the internet cable and so it went down behind the 7" skirting board and I've spent the last 10 mins fishing it out with the long handle of a dessert spoon. So the post has taken a bit longer than I thought.

music, i tend to be less fussy, and love being ignorant of. in fact, same with books. i love nothing more than completely unfamiliar things on someone else's shelves.

A first edition Shelly? Impressive. As with Keats, I see his genius but it floats just out of reach. Yeats, I find  more to my style. In keeping with the life I've led, Kipling is high on my list. And I think I mentioned Edgar Lee Masters. Never without a copy of, "Spoon River".
In AA, I found so much passion, so much fire. Russian authors, painters and film makers are so wild and unrestrained, much like the Russian people themselves. Some of the warmest most romantic and colorful people on earth. Holds true for all the people that part of the world. The Ukrainian women are some of the most beautiful in the world.
I was raised in a world of classical music as my father and uncle were classically trained but like most musicians of their time, to earn a living they also played Big Band and jazz gigs so there was always music in and around me. Being young when Rock got it's start just sealed the deal.
But it is books, right?

in fact, same with books. i love nothing more than completely unfamiliar things on someone else's shelves.

This is marvelous! I'll often go into our library and just choose several works of fiction, unknown and ignored and read them. Some are a one page sort of thing while others are amazing! The product of another persons soul.
But the crux of this thread? Yeah, if sex was on the table from the start, the books can wait.

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

One more post about books. Whenever I travel, I take a paperback copy of Martin Cruz-Smith's novel, "Polar Star" and leave it where ever I've been when I come home. I keep a hard back copy at home and I can find the paperback's cheap on Amazon.
I started that habit when the novel was first released and I was sent to a school for two weeks and I read the book at night. I finished at the top of my class and I thought the book brought me good luck and so......

Haven't read him since Stallions Gate and thought he was great.  Did read Gorky Park long ago.  Looking for a new read.  Does Polar Star stand alone well without having read the others recently?

I consider Polar Star the true beginning of his Renko series and ending with Havana Bay. Polar Star is my "Odyssey" and Renko my,  Ulysses.
I E mailed him and suggested he continue with the chemistry in Havana Bay but he went a different way, though he did reply and he saw the merit in my suggestion.
"Rose" is a marvelous novel and perhaps his best work. His last Renko novel was weak and only Renko himself makes the story work.
Cruz-Smith has a true feel for the soul of the Russian people. And Renko is the Russian, "Every man".

I can imagine just happening upon it randomly would be hysterical  and strangly extra funny if you couldn't read it  

Kypris I found quite a good 7 min travelog for Santorini. It is beautiful, I love that people are giving a sunset applause Santorini needs a few more trees though. http://vimeo.com/15011254

Blissed,
We lived always in that hotel. I think, it’s the nicest resting place in Santorini. Please, the link is not for advertising, just for showing some of the photos, –beautiful view, built on top of a still a little bit active volcano edge. A very erotic-energetic place, particularly inspiring for young lovers.

Looks brilliant! but because I don't trust the chemicals and nanoparticles in sun tan lotion I would wear a sombraro and an Arab thawb http://www.ahlamme.com/kingdom/index.ph … &Itemid=13

Swimming in the pool there would be fantastic at night or at sunset or sunrise.

Hahaha... not so sexy, I would say.

What I’m looking for, is an UV-B radiation transmissible bathing slip because, after a few months stay in Thailand, I become very tanned, but my tan line backside keeps still white and I’m afraid, if one of these sweet Thai ladies would see my snow-white willy, she might think, I‘m sick.

Re: If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, dont fuck them

Whoa so much has gone on this thread since I've been holidaying ! Holidaying sure makes you realise the preciousness of climate in the keeping of books. I was always against the idea of kindle and other electronic readers, although since finishing university last year, I can definitely list reading articles/novels as a marketable skill on a resume. But damn, hanging out in rainforest (although very pretty) is a sure way to destroy musical instruments, clothes and of course precious books. Blissed can you design some sort of antigravitational, humidity control air locked travelling suitcase for our precious novels please. As I'm intending on becoming a nomad very soon, all solutions would be welcome until veronicaf's mind download becomes a reality.
