    Well like any utility company I am sure they will be right on time :rolleyes: :p

    I am sure you will miss that Amherst.. I miss it just thinking about it.. those super Neons with the bass pumping.. good times.

    And the spoilers...obviously necessary to prevent liftoff.
    Well we'll see how things go. I'll be pretty bored all weekend without cable or internet to occupy my time. I might have to go watch the 16 year old bust a move at Dooly's after all.

    i've been on such a Nelson DeMille kick lately....

    after reading all the John Corey books backwards, I have finally begun "Plum Island".... I do not think anything will top the "Lion's Game"

    I got his one about the real plane crash where they thought it was shot down. I can't remember the name of it but it was a good, fun read. I think I read the whole thing in 3 days!

    i could well be nuts conor. but i'm not reading it for pleasure. i'm reading it for uni. i find it hard going cause right now in my life it's not a book i would have chosen to read. our prof tears it apart so much it loses any appeal. and i am not thrilled with raskolnikov finding redemption. but that's just my atheist views finding fault with religion. plus raskolnikov just annoys me.
    i enjoy it well enough, but i'd have preferred to come to it on my own. but the brothers karamazov, the idiot and the rest will have to wait a while.

    i think maybe i relate to raskolnikov more perhaps... im one arrogant son of a bitch ;)

    Quality. I'm gonna teach that muthafucker to Korean kids. They may find the colloquialism's hard to grasp but it's a story that should grip any kid. I've got a dvd of it which I'll play em aswell.

    If you like that, then read Peter Matthiessen's 'In the Spirit of Crazy Horse'.

    Is it good? I read 3 Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger and thought it would be really good, but I didn't like his writing style at all.

    P.S. You're cool, too!

    i just hated the way he was trying to justify his act. but i think perhaps that was the point of the book. to show that NO ONE is above the morality of the society in which they live, no matter how extraordinary they think themselves to be. and that one can only find salvation in God. or some shit like that. i could be wrong of course. :)
    though i did like the raskolnikov/sridrigailov juxtaposition.
    hear my name

    I am into book 3 of the Gap series by Stephen Donaldson. This one is called "The Gap Into Power: A Dark and Hungry God Arises". I've never read any science fiction before this series which was thrust upon me by a good friend, and so far I am grateful as I'm loving it. Some parts have been quite dark and disturbing, with the author having the ability to make you despise characters in one book only to make you feel a little sorry for them in the next, and so far I haven't been able to put it down.
