Sorry couldn't resist.



I recently listened to "Rant" by the guy who wrote Fight Club.
Interestingly odd.
I have a copy of "Pygmy" but haven't been able to sit down and read much of it.

Chuck Paliniuk is a great writer, IMO.

pygmy was the least of his books, trying too hard and difficult to follow

At first I had a hard time, then after a bit it almost made sense. Almost, haha.


Right now I am reading the CA newsletter, good stuff!

Re-reading "The Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle for my own pleasure between readings for summer courses.

For summer courses I'm reading "Race Class & Gender" by Collins and Andersen, as well as "Employment Law" by Walsh. Fascinating :rolleyes:

About half-way through John Adams by David McCullough. This has been on my list for a long time. Everyone said I'd love it.

The first couple of times I started it, I put it down after a few pages. I either couldn't get into it or found something else I really wanted to read. This time, I'm far enough into it that I can see why it won the Pulitzer Prize.

I really enjoyed that book. If you like it, check out 1776 by McCullough. It is excellent and a quicker read than Adams.

I thought it was pretty good. Maybe not as good as the others in the series, but not bad. Have to wait a year for book 6:(

Looking forward to the last Eragon now.

Ditto. 1776 was easier. I had to do John Adams in pieces, while reading other, lighter stuff.

Been reading "The Man in the Rockefeller Suit" By Mark Seal about the guy a few years back that posed as a member of the Rockefeller family but was eventually caught. Pretty interesting story on how this guy managed to fool people from a very young age.

Just started reading this today, and oddly enough today is exactly one year since Probert passed.
