Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm
I spent a few hours hanging out with him in Ireland some years back, and he signed my copy. I figured I had better read the whole thing, since he urged me to read it properly in his inscription.Post edited by ConorKavanagh onDublin 2006

Ms. Haiku said:Harry Potter #7! Almost done with the series, yay! Great series.A friend of mine keep pushing HP books on me. I politely said I would try to get to them but to myself thought, "I never read that kind on nonsense." I also thought about Henry Rollins' bit about meeting and dating a woman. They were driving to a coffee shop when she mentioned that she like to read and, being a book fan himself, said, "Great! What are your reading?" She replied, "Harry Potter". He said, "WHAT? You read children's literature? GET OUT OF THE CAR!" LOLWell, finally I gave in anyway and read the first one. OK, that was easy and quick so I went on to number two. And three. And all the way to the end. Love them!Sorry Henry!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Just finished the Frank Miller Dark Knight series: The Last Crusade, The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again and The Master Race. The rest are enjoyable, but the original (Returns) is still a classic. For comics, lol."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

He eventually moved out and left it for me. So one night I picked it up and stayed awake reading the whole thing. I ran to the English bookshop in the morning and picked up the second book.
J.K. Rowling is an amazing storyteller. It's unbelievable she was rejected twelve times before somebody picked her up.Post edited by eddiec on0 -

Having been born here in the U.S. west, as a kid I was a typical Cowboys and Indians fan. But as I grew up I distanced myself from all that to the point of really not caring about or being interested in western American history which I still think is basically about a bunch of restless white people- mostly men- who would run over, push away, assimilate, or if need be kill, anything and anyone that got in the way of their greedy expansion.But, being a fan of adventure, I started reading Ethan Rarick's Desperate Passage; The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West. The true-story telling in this is great and I'm even finding myself interested in the history and maybe even able to feel a little bit why people might have that urge to seek out something new. I've started my life over a number of times, so there you go. Great reading so far.Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Read this on the plane yesterday. Tried a few previous times to start buy finally got into it.
Overrated based on reviews but not bad absent those expectations.
