    An Absolute Masterpiece - by R U Tolkein Krap
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Not sure if anyone has heard of this but on Sept. 15th Jon Krakauer (author of Into The Wild) has a book coming out on Pat Tillman and it looks great.

    I am currently reading "Stealing Myspace: The Battle To Control The Most Powerful Website In America" by Julia Angwin. I know it does not sound very interesting and I am reading it mostly for work purposes but it is pretty interesting.

    Yup, I've been waiting since last YEAR for this book to be released. There was a problem with the publisher and Krakauer held back on releasing it. Cannot WAIT to read it! He's my all-time favorite author!

    I read an interview with Krakauer and he said Tillman's mom wasn't happy with the version he had last year. It was in Entertainment Weekly.

    I have to admit that I am swept up in the Swayze hoopla and am buying his and his wife's memoir next week along with Krakauer's. I too have been waiting for that book for a year. Did you know that when they found Tillman that he had a copy of Under the Banner of Heaven in his backpack? It was one of his books, I believe that one.

    I haven't had a chance to read a book for leisure for 3 weeks :( But I think tomorrow I'm going to start 'the Book of Air and Shadows' by Michael Gruber. It seems kinda like a lit-nerd version of Dan Brown, but I spend all day reading, so something light is nice to come home to.

    was an awesome series - & if you havent seen the preview for new moon that was aired at the VMAs you should - cause that movie looks like its going to be awesome!

    dont feel too embarassed - I'm 30 & managed to kill off all 4 books in a week. and now there's a group of 40-50 something women where i work who have become engaged by it too. there's something about it that just sucks you right in & you cant quite put a finger on it.

    i'm currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins - it's the 2nd book in The Hunger Games series. VERY GOOD! its a young adult series but the theory behind this post-apocalyptic world actually seems very plausible. it's not so far fetched that it would make you think it could never happen. read The Hunger Games in a day (an extremely rainy one - nothing else to do) but still VERY GOOD & quite the mover - good bit of action.
