But seriously, I've been looking for Stephen Colbert's book at a decent price. He makes me laugh.

it's generic but i like the harry potter series. i want to finish my lord of the rings book and this one book that my grandfather gave me called 'nothing but the truth'. it looks like one of those generic law dramas that one finds at the checkout line at a grocery store. but he said it was good so whatever. looks like it might rain.

oh yeah. and it's cool that you took all of the media threads and gave them their own section. was probably needed. cool.

I was listening to the radio this morning while I was half-awake, and they were interviewing these guys that had a race around the world and it involved scotch somehow, the details are a little hazy. Anyway, they were sponsored by a publishing company to write a book after it was done and it's called the Ridiculous Race or Ridiculous Voyage or something like that. It sounded pretty interesting to me.

well, i mentioned the dark materials trilogy in the other thread. very good, but very anti-christian. not that it bothers me, nor do i suspent it will bother any of you, but when the first book, the golden compass, was made into a movie, it was widely rejected becasue of that very reason. i find that interesting.

also, Slaughterhouse Five by kurt vonnegut. nothing really to do with slaughterhouses. great book though. i would highly reccommend it.

btw, i ****ing hate catcher in the rye. i want to kill the narrator/main character twenty times over

also, Demian by Hermann Hesse is amazing. i used that book as the center of my college prep english projects. i bought an old copy of it off amazon and scribbled notes in all the side margins. crazy stuff he deals with. i wish i knew enough german to read the original untranslated. Hesse was an amazing guy. demain, more than any of his other works was very much drawn out of the works of Nietzsche. read it.

I am reading Clown Girl by Monica Drake right now, chucky p. did the intro.
they also both attended the same writing workshop for years.
it's real awesome.
I like it so far, but I'm only 59 pages into it as I started it before work today.
I'm cool.

I just read an awesome book. It's one of the few that have actually made me laugh or chuckle or make some verbal response indicating humor. It's called Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.
I could see it offending anyone who is seriously religious, but that just makes it funnier to me.

By the way it's by christopher moore and you can get this book off of amazon for like five bucks... so yeah, it's worth it.

ooh. I just read the bigfoot memoir, whatever it was called I'm not sure. I laughed.
it took like ten minutes to read.
I liked his poems, one of them ended with "can't keep a gangsta down!" and it didn't make any sense.

go read it.

it might be called "It bigfoot memior" or something.
I don't know.
I forget the author too.
haha.

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I think 1984 is a good book.
