Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
I'm reading Brave New World by Huxley right now, but having a hard time getting into it...usually if I like a book, it will just consume me...but I've had a hard time sticking to books lately.

"The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard" by Robert E. Howard
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
In a conference room where I work, someone put this book on the ledge of a big dry erase board and wrote "If you think your life's bad, read this" with an arrow pointing to "Atlas Shrugged".

How inticing. Did you pick it up and start to read it? There would've been no hesitation on my part.

I thought about it, but then remembered the 30 books at home to read that I have!
I'm currently reading book 3 of the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian. I was able to download the first one free on my kindle. I was skeptical about reading it but it was free..lol. Now I'm addicted to them.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

Heavy reading. Flying to Japan Monday and this will keep me busy. The font is like a 1.

I'm reading, The Language of Baklava by Diana Abu-Jaber
Ones that I would recommend that I finished recently
My Life in France - Julia Child The Tenth Muse - Judith Jones Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen The Thirteenth Tale - Diane Setterfield
I didn't like The Sharper the Knife the Less you Cry and The Maytrees
I've read 12 trade paperbacks within the past 2 months. It's funny because last week I was so depressed because I didn't have time to work out. Then I logged a book I read into my book logs, reviewed how many books I recently read, and had a V8 moment! Aha! No wonder I don't have time.

Is that the book(s) that the Kevin Spacey movie is based on? I liked that movie, unlike most of the rest of earth.

It's an oral history of SNL and was really good.
I have that checked out from the library and am about to start it. Looking forward to it.
