    Just finished "Rebecca" and "The Film Club", a fast read about a guy who let's his son drop out of high school as long as he watches 3 movies a week with him.

    Now working on "Gone with the Wind" and "Strangers on a Train".

    I just finished "The Rule of Four". I have been on a reading frenzy. I have already read two books this week and I just finished a David Sedaris book on the weekend. This whole broken wrist and no tv or internet thing is certainly helping me catch up on my reading.

    I've read that. Very good book.

    'The Crossing' is also fucking great, as is 'Blood Meridian'.

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

    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.

    "Middlesex" by... I can't remember the author's name right now. Interesting so far but I am probably only fifty pages in.
