    I Am Philosophy and So Can You.... disappointed to learn AFTER purchasing it that it's not a Stephen Colbert book... it's written about people who like him. Not quite what I was after. Oh well.

    I haven't seen the movie either. Although I did see a little snippet of it the other day on some movie channel and I quickly turned it. I don't think I will be seeing it any time soon. A) movies never do books justice and B) I couldn't subject myself to it so soon after reading the book. :?


    my sister loved the book. Keeps telling me to read it.

    Should I? Or will it be too depressing?

    It's really good, but it is depressing. Depends on how sensitive you are. It's hard to take at times.

    Life by Keith Richards. I'm about 80% finished and it's been a great read so far.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Thinking I'll have to buy this. A few good comments about this in another thread as well.

    Just about to start Any Human Heart - William Boyd.
    This was a 6 part series over here before Christmas. Some of the best TV of last year.

    Another great book by Ms. Casey. She is so fucking rad. Her other book, The Wave, is amazing.

    Just finished "Not Without Hope" by Nick something, about the four guys whose boat flipped over in the Gulf of Mexico and 3 of them died. 2 were NFL players. Good quick read. (Read it over 24 hours)
