Books That I Need To Write
« on: July 16, 2012, 02:52:30 am »
So, Bay12, I have an observation and a question: I have observed that there are many holes in the books of humanity. There are books that I need to write. I want to write on philosophy, a/religion, art, science, et cetera, et cetera...

The question is...where the hell do I start?

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

I would like you to write a book about how Batman has changed the popular perception of social stratification and corporate capitalism in western cultures.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Write philosophy, then you can wear some weird flowing-robe-thing for your jacket cover photo.
I... Really don't know, I generally stick to novels. Or history.

I probably wouldn't buy a copy, but I'd absolutely support it being written. :P

The Merrie Comedie of the Redemption of Dr. Faustus.

And everything else from over here.  I really want to read The Emperor Over the Sea (a la C.S. Lewis), but, unfortunately, that might be a tough place to start.

SERIOUS SUGGESTION

Art. It's not as deadly a subject as the others while still being intellectually impossible to pin down. :)

I read a good paper on this once, I'll see if I can't find it.
Edit: I think this is it. It's hard to find anything because all google has are news articles about that recent company that plans to mine asteroids.

On topic, I think art would be really cool as well.
