3. Hey, yeah.
Lots of 'em ;)

I'm reading one right now called 'The Best Thing I Ever Tasted'. It's neat... a whole commentary on the evolution of eating within the US, and a kickin' social commentary wound into that. Good stuff.

4. I started Angels and Demons
last Monday. Ironic given that part of the story involves a conclave to elect a new Pope.

8. Read a book?
I got three books going right now.

I am re-reading...

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by HST just because.

I am reading for the first time...

"What's the matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank

and

"The Children's Blizzard" by David Laskin

Shit, the PREZ-O-DENT doesn't read, so that should tell you something right there.


Reading is a GOOD thing!
