    Just finished cormac mccarthys the road. I'm usually a very slow reader but I have not been grabbed by a book like that in years. Very cleaverly written, bleak as hell but stunning...a must read and you'll read it in a couple of days...get it!
    I need a coffee!

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Tolstoy's War and Peace.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Currently reading the memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It's a collection of short stories, and I must say, is highly entertaining.

    started to read 'Original Zinn' by Howard Zinn. Guess who's mentioned it that one (hint: he's talking about the power of art, mentioning a certain song written by Bob Dylan) ;)

    Mr Forgetful by Roger Hargreaves

    read it to my girls last night. :thumbup:
    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 do the same with Patricia Cornwall books, always seem to find something I missed the last time.

    Villette by Charlotte Bronte, reading it for a "Freud & the Victorians" class. I'm not a huge fan of the Bronte sisters, although I did quite like Wuthering Heights. Postmodernism and digital culture are my areas of expertise, but it's kind of nice every now and then to read a novel that actually resembles a novel. :D
