Lukeozade100 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 What? Battle Royale? ''Whats Battle Royale?'' Come on don't tell me you don't know that!? From Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, i'm just over half way through and it seems like a really good read, the sort of thing that you can see will easily become a 'cult' novel.

Lukeozade100 Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 In the following pages I shall provide proof that there is a psychological technique which allows us to interpret dreams, and that when this procedure is applied, every dream turns out to be a meaningful psychical formation which can be given an identifiable place in what goes on within us in our waking life.

Lukeozade100 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Sounds interesting Lukeazade. Is it a study book, or are you just reading for interest? I'm just reading it out of interest really, there are a lot of books that aren't novels that I pick up and think this could be really interesting but have never bought them because I've not really felt I could manage to work my way through them, but I've decided to try a few (Herodotus - The Histories being another and i'm intending to buy Da Vinci - Notebooks, A Very Short Introduction to Hegel & Plato's The Symposium on payday). I've always been sort of interested in dreams, probably because mine are so very very odd!

I think most of us have odd dreams, or maybe it's just us readers, It sounds like a very interesting read though. I love reading these sorts of books too. There is lot's of history and people I'm interested in as well religious and scientific things, and even some things to do with the natural world, but I don't have much time with the kids. I can only hold small paperback while feeding the baby too for any length of time.
