    will soon be reading Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Vern because I just saw the movie and have never read the book before

    The Moon and Me by Ralph Stoops

    I'm almost finished with it. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. I'd never heard of it before until a friend of mine let me borrow it. It's a sci-fi sort of book, but not really. It takes place in the future, on the moon. The moon is in the beginning stages of colonization and it's about the first boy born on the moon. He's never even been on Earth before and it makes him kind of depressing and dull because all he's ever seen is the moon. I don't want to give anything away but it's absolutely beautiful and wonderfully written.

    Henry Rollins - Black CoffeeBlues

    Once I'm done with it, I will have read every single one of his books.
    Black Coffee Blues is definitely the 'heaviest' of his books.

    The Celestine Prophecy

    About halfway through it. I'm not blown away like the cover suggests, but it is an interesting read. I've also got The Tenth Insight, which is a sequel of sorts.

    I just read 90 Minutes in Heaven. It was pretty cool.

    The author was very sincere, and even though I don't totally follow the "Baptist" mindset (for lack of a better term), I got a lot out of it.

    Logan's Run

    Way different from the movie and WAY better!

    Starting Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and then on to P.D. James - Children of Men.

    On a bit of dystopian kick lately.
    E agora? Faz xixi na mão e deita fora!

    I currently have the following on the go:

    Marcel Proust - A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu: Swann's Way
    Jorge Luis Borges - Labyrinths
    Dante - La Vita Nuova (seriously the most romantic thing ever :o)

    And constant and indefinite reading of Shakespeare's complete works.

    I am currently reading one of the biggest pieces of shit ever to roll over a printing press:
    The Rest of Her Life
    Don't even know who wrote it.
    I am quitting this bookclub I formed.
    Bunch of old ladies.

    On the side I am reading Naked Came I by David Weiss. About the amazing Rodin.

    "Ghost Wars" by Steve Coll and "Descent into Chaos" by Ahmed Rashid. Any information I can get on Pakistan (and Afghanistan), I am on it. Intelligence would be nice... haha. One day, hopefully??
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.
