Catch 22 omg what an amazing book.  Major Major Major Major is one of the greatest characters ever created.

I read A Farewell to Arms maybe 4 times, its my fav novel.
spoiler, everybody dies, well cept for.................

[The King of Kings]

Starship Troopers was by far the most scathing indictment of modern American culture that's ever been widely released.  I've always been baffled that more people didn't notice.

probably because there are so few people who were picked last in PE, and have this grudge against strength and the struggle.

Word on the street is you attempted some Vogon poetry then passed out.

Jesus! I didn't kill anyone with it, did I? 

[Chronaut]

what 3 books would u have taken into the future ?

What an incredibly agonizing question...my first inclination would be:

The Flame of Attention by Jiddu Krishnamurti
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana

[trostol]

another would have to be the complete Lovecraft stories

[Showroom Dummy]

I have been asked this before, i think these where my answers
A Farewell to Arms
Catch 22
And maybe some great history book to show the future about the past.

good choices    i would probably go with   dictionary    some basic/remedy medical book  and  its a toss up  bible or some other fiction book

[HumanBeing]

I have a HUGE porn collection, sometimes Mr.Happy needs a break 

x265 rips will save a shit tonne of space if you want to keep a collection for a while. High quality and lots in 60 fps as well.
A friend told me that the username of piemonster on kat torrent site rips at x265. 60 fps porn, the future is now

I'd probably have to include Dan Simmon's Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion.  Still trying to figure out wtf those books are about.

LMAO!

[Barfly]

I would agree with the medical book, but if you are in the future they would know more than we do now.
No need for a dictionary.
The bible? are you serious? Depending on how far you go in the future i sincerely hope religion will be a thing of the past.

[zeebo]

haha called out!   today's kama sutra = secret thumb drive

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, The Innocents Abroad, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer bound as one . . .

[ShayP]

Tia Leoni ?

Sherilyn Fenn?

[Barfly]

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Robyn Wilder - Hmmm

[zeebo]

Sherilyn Fenn?

Oh don't get me started, sir.  She's my early 90's infatuation.

[ShayP]

Just go with it. 

[Dr. MD MD]

Just fuckin wit ya. I think the Kama Sutra is good porn too 

Some of those positions I'm not so sure about though 

[Dr. MD MD]

Sherilyn Fenn?

Yep. It's her from Twin Peaks. I'm hearing jazz snaps all of a sudden 

[Barfly]

Oh don't get me started, sir.  She's my early 90's infatuation.

Mine was Marilyn Chambers, i got to meet her once, i almost jizzed from hugging her, it was one of the best days i had in my 20's.
Also she was really cool, she spends time with fans.
