Sorry, I have to agree with Shen on that. They are all volumes of bullshit, bound in speculative hogwash, written to capitalize monetarily on the geopolitical tribulations of our current time and nothing more.


Put another way, none have been made into a movie by Hollyweird, so Renee has no idea what they are about.

Another moronic lame post.  :001_rolleyes: You're just tripping all over yourself to get my attention, aren't you? And it's amazing how you really don't care how stupid you look in the process.  :laugh3:



Actually I'm surprised to see you in a thread concerning books. Most Aussies have no use for them unless they need to hold a door open.

No he's saying I'm fat. Like that's something clever or original.

Oh you two.  Never a dull moment.



I just don't understand how saying I'm egg shaped is calling you fat.

Description: Shortly before his death in 1924, Louis Sullivan gave Frank Lloyd Wright 100 of his drawings, instructing him to write his architectural biography. "Not having so much to be humbled about, I have tried - with honest arrogance - to describes the tragedy, triumph, and significance of the great man who invariably signed himself Louis H. Sullivan; to tell you why I, through never his disciple - nor that of any man - called him Liebermeister. His own beautiful drawings, from which I have selected those used here, are better testimonies than any I could offer in words." Frank Lloyd Wright. Illustrated with 39 hitherto unpublished drawings by Louis H. Sullivan. Original HC List Price $5.00. Book review in Saturday Review. (First Edition)  (Two Copies)  (Sweeney 750)
