    I tend to follow the trail of what I'm thinking about. I study topics and sometimes one book leads to another OR, I just go to the library and search for books on whatever topic I'm focused on at the moment.

    How do you choose your books?

    Usually based on recommendations from friends or whatever I see in the bookstore that looks interesting. Someone recommended some Pearl Jam Twenty book to me... I'm not sure about their taste :D:lol:

    What books are you thinking of buying soon?

    I do it like you, and I have book-crazy parents. My father especially knows what I like and when I run out of reading material, I can just go to him and tell him I need something to read. My parents are "storing" books for their holidays, so there is always plenty of stuff there. Their shelves are my library :)

    Edit: My last book purchase actually was the PJ20 book, and since I need to save some money, I'm not planning on getting anything else at the moment.

    What non-fiction book would you recommend to somebody who usually doesn't read much non-fiction?
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Maybe something by Bill Bryson or Jon Krakauer.

    Did you get enough sleep last night?

    The usual 6-7 hours. It was okay :) The times of 12 hours of sleep are over since I started working. I'm not even able to do it :evil: Well, okay except of with a proper jetlag.

    How many hours of sleep do you need to function properly?

    8 hours is good. I can and tend to get by on 5-6.

    Do you have a hard time convincing yourself to go to bed?

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Some..Born on the 4th of July, Saving Private Ryan, but I usually don't watch too many.

    Favorite movie genre?

    comedy, then suspense, horror,

    ever wonder why movies labeled 'comedy' are actually depressing? (I know they can be labeled 'black comedy'-but the ones lately are called 'comedy')

    I'm not sure why they do that...I guess if I really need a laugh I just watch something I know will be funny.

    What's your go-to comedy when you really need a laugh?

    Braveheart. I've seen so many different parts of it but never the whole thing in it's entirety.

    Best film you saw this year?
