well, it's free the first time, but i don't think they like it when you keep their books for months at a time.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.

That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

I'm still reading Bonfire which is actually a great book that you really get into once all the characters are established. I would be finished with it by now if i didn't have school work and classes but then again it's 700 pages so cut me a break. I'll probably be done with it before the end of the week though.

I ended up finishing Bonfire today, a few minutes ago actually, because he knew that it would be impossible to study for finals and write final papers with an open book there on the desk. The book remains on my recommended list.

I just finished The Stranger. 2 day read. It's short, and reads easily.

Anyone ever read any Tim Powers books? My friend just bought me "The Anubis Gates" and I think I'm going to start that now. It's a time travel book that has won several awards. My friend said it's one of the best time travel books he's ever read.

Finished a whole bunch of books. Read the Prince, Common Sense, For Whom the Bell Tolls. All good stuff.

Right now I'm on the Portable Nietzsche which has translations by Walter Kauffman which is supposedly the r0x0r compared to others.

Currently reading "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams. Amazing I didn't read this years ago. Pretty funny stuff.

They finally admitted there feelings for each other in Timothy Zahn's duology "Spectre of the Past" and the sequel. The wedding was in a Dark Horse comic.

Yeah, supposedly Cusack worked very closely with the author on that film. The only major thing he changed was the city it was in.

One of my favorite flicks.


I decided not to start reading "The Anubis Gates". Instead, I've been doing some writing, and may start to read "The Fall"" by Camus tonight.

Spit, I think you'll love it. It's a story about relationships, but from a man's point of view.

dent's right...stuff went down in spectre of the past/vision of the future, and then the wedding.go to those when you have time, its a good, updated thrawn trilogy(you even find out the full name and species of everyone's favorite grand admiral).also, try the new jedi order stuff.its everything you'd never expect from star wars

Finished "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and am a few chapter's into "The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul". If you enjoyed HHGTTG, than you should definitely read this one. If you didn't read it because it was "too sci-fi", than you should still read this. They're about a detective on earth who gets mixed up in weird cases. Kind of like the Red Dwarf version of the X-Files. So far, the second one is better than the first.
