Yeah I have a decent lil book I'm scopin out.
It's some dude poetry.
It's pritty decent stuff.
I am guessin he's a new author because
I never heard of this dude before.
Give it a try.
Right now I'm reading "Bitter is the new Black" by Jen Lancaster!
I hope you are enjoying it!
I, however, am not a fan of Lancaster's. She and I have zero in common other than that we both live on Earth. lol
Not a fan of Coulter; she wants to do her.

I just read it to my daughter and she loved it. It comes with a cd with music similar to the song "What I Be" from the album EDM. Michael Franti signed to her also Great children's book for ALL ages.
For the children in your life or the child in you, enjoy Michael's first children's book! Illustrated by Ben Hodson, 'What I Be', is a visual and musical journey about self acceptance. It's okay to be just who you are and strive to be the best that you can be, by embodying the best characteristics of nature. Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain or as generous as a tree.
This story first appeared as a song on the Michael Franti and Spearhead
album "Everyone Deserves Music" and has been adapted in this book as a
life affirming tale for children of all ages, shapes and cultures.
Includes a read-along CD that contains a hip hop and African musical collage of the story featuring the voices of Michael, his son Ade Franti-Rye, and
Youssoupha Sidibe singing in his home language of Wollof and playing the Kora (Senegalese harp).

Also Michael Franti is a dear friend of mine and since being a pre-school teacher for 5+ years this book really works well for children of all ages.

Music: Black Keys: Magic Potion. Was recently suggested to me in Other Music thread and its awesome.
Book: His Dark Materials. I just finished the second of three books in this series, and despite being located in the young adult section of the bookstore, it's a very good series with some very interesting ideas found within, it has been called Anti-Christian, but I am finding it more 'Organized Religion phobic'.

"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
hmmn, let's see I have been listening to Carbon Leaf (they are new to me, but not new)

"Remember, death is a natural part of the workplace. So, when you see a dead body at work, don't freak out, just ring your death bell." "ting"-Toki Wartooth
Picked it up after seeing it in a 100 best books list (I was looking through the list trying to find the weirdest books possible, most were about romance or death blllllergh). It's VERY strange, but VERY good. I like it, but then again I usually like weird books.
I think it's a translated book because sometimes there are words missing and there's quite a bit of bad grammar, but it doesn't get in the way too much.

The title of your book reminded me that I forgot to include one of my favorite authors, Kafka. Three great books are The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika. I loved all of them. Kafka also reminds me of Frank Miller's graphic novels like Sin City, which I also love.

I just recently read Shelby's Waiting Period...rec'd by Byrnzie. It was awesome. As I read, I kept thinking how ballsy he is, his writing...I could never admit to those thoughts, nevermind commit them to paper and then publish them.
I am going to put Last Exit on my list.
Movies I have seen lately that are awesome:
JUNO!
No Country For Old Men
Book:
Eat, Pray, Love....great for me in this period of my life
