I've been to Barnes and Noble like 3 times this week looking for the new HP book, but they still don't have it. Bastards!!



When I was in WA, my Aunt reserved the HP book for the kids to buy at a bookstore. On their way there, they stopped at the grocery store. The book was there, and it was $10 cheaper!

I just finished Neuromancer by WIlliam Gibson.

2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur C Clarke.

I'm thinking Phillip K Dick or Proust next.

My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

I just read Operating Instructions by Annie Lamott. It's her journal from her son's first year of life.

Hey Gia! A really cooooool back that you might enjoy is "The Tao Of Pooh." Not so much into Taoism, I picked it up at the airport to read on a trip I was taking.

Someone also recommended to me a book called "Tuedays With Morie"...supposed to be pretty good. Guess I'll read that after I finsih reading the articles in my new Playboy......ahem:ph34r:

I currently started reading "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk, he's the guy that wrote Fight Club. But if you really wanna read a good book, read "Survivor" by him. Excellent book.

Faulkner's "Hamlet" and Gogol's "Dead Souls". I like reading a few books at a time.

I agree that Palahniuk is great. Also from modern American try Douglas Coupland. The guy is great and if you read "All families are psychotic" you will love it.
