The Astonishing Hypothesis by Francis Crick is in the mail.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
just finished Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut, now reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. I love his books. Im on a mission to read all of them.

I'm the same way with Jon Krakauer. I just love his writing style. He could write a book about grass growing and it would be fascinating.

We have been saying "hella" up here in the Pacific Northwest since the early to mid 80's!!! It is far from a new term up here. And no, it has nothing to do with northern California.
I read that last year when it came out. If you have any doubt Bonds is on steroids (not that anyone does anymore), this will convince you. Really well done and interesting to see behind the scenes.
Yeah, I am stoked to start reading it. I hate Barry Bonds....and this will just cement that feeling more, I have a feeling.
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.
I just bought Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman - it's going to be my next read once I finish Shantaram.

Its incredible. I didnt want to believe it, but she has written a better book than Bram SToker. There's so much to say about it however Im on my way out so I'll just advise you to make it the next book you read. Hope you do, you won't regret it.

Wow! That's a glowing review! I haven't read Dracula by Bram Stoker but I have it in my pile to read. I just started it yesterday and am only 16 pages in.
I liked the story and the writing. It's really vividly written, and the characters are well-drawn.
I did find a big chunk in the middle a bit tedious though. If the story was a bit more tightened up the pace could have been a lot stronger. But that's just my opinion.
Hope you enjoy it!

A very enjoyable mission. I have been thinking about reading them all again.
Anyone read David Sedaris books? I haven't, but I'm on the verge. I hear it's totally laugh riot stuff, and it's good to have a healthy laugh every so often

I LOVE David Sidaris. Laugh-out-loud funny ... don't read it on the bus or in a waiting room unless you don't mind everyone thinking you're crazy

same with Kurt, he could write about dirt and I would love it.
It will. I also hate him and thought I had reached max levels of hate and reading this book made me hate him even more.
recommended to me by someone on here :cool:

currently i am browsing/reading, "god on your own...finding a Spiritual Path outside religion" and " The Skinny-how to fit into your little black dress forever---the eat-what-you-like way to loose and keep it off"...
food for thought...(smile).
peace-out.

A very enjoyable mission. I have been thinking about reading them all again.
does anyone know if or where i could get a (bootlegged) copy of 22 stories?
I'm not loving it.... which sucks... because I also have "Wicked" in my to-read pile...
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
yes, i can understand that....
with all the hype about the musical, etc... i thought Macguire's books were supposed to be great.....
turns out i really don't like his style, and the stories aren't even that interesting (so far)... and now i'm stuck with two of them! lol...
