Oh! It is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn’t. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn’t read.

Tattoos again. This time a new hype, fashion in the ink setting art: literary tattoos. Hot or Not?
I think they can be totally hot if the right quote or excerpt is inked, obviously Chuck Palahniuk immediately comes to mind but below some examples of other great literary tattoos.

Love me, Love my fool

Yes, yes, yes. Pardon the excitement. NOT.

“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks to much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laught and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”
- from Love me, love my fool: Thoughts from a psychoanalyst’s notebook by Theodore Isaac Rubin

Five by Five

Although I would rather keep this area for the name of my kids, if you’re like me and have none, Five by Five will do.

Fight Club

“Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”
- Tyler Durden in Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
