1. It's been a long time since I've read a good fiction book. I need to fix that. What are you guys reading?
2. I really, really want to see Fiona Apple in concert. Sadly, she's not touring right now.
3. The latter thought was sparked by Shadow Boxer's comment re: Tim Russert and muppets. I have reason to believe, however, that our friend SB has not watched TV since 2000, so I'm not sure he can authoritatively comment on the state of programming today.
4. I love impromptu sick days. No work today, so you can most certainly look forward to pedantic post part deux: the curse of grandiloquence. Stay tuned...
5. Pssst: Dumbledore's gay!

I'm reading "Lovely Bones" for like the umpteenth time because it helps me fall asleep, however it's not boring. I wish I was relishing in a sick day as well. I'm totally jealous and I want to go home. Make it happen Nuraido!
I'm just about to start The Kite Runner. Yes, I'm still stuck in 2006.
The Kite Runner is amazing. Has anyone read his latest book? I want a book like the Kite Runner. What do you think, y'all?
I'm reading Kafka. then going back to the Satanic Verses...
you should rock some Don DeLillo... Americana, White Noise are both good shiz
All I know for sure is that Bert is sweet and Tim Russert talks like his tie restricts blood flow to his brain.
plus - 2000? seriously. keep yer numbers straight, it was 2003.
True, SB, but from 2003-2006 I was in no-happy-reading-hell, i.e. law school. I never got to read for pleasure. Therefore, all books published in that time period were published in '06 for me. The same w/ television shows and non-@ssholes; they're all new to me!
How about The Gum Thief, Nu? It's received good reviews.
It must be that I'm stuck in the 19th century -- I just finished A House of Mirth by Edith Wharton.
Ironically, I found most of the characters totally unlikeable, but I think that's Wharton's point. Or, at least, that's how I intepret it.
Though, I would recommend her Age of Innocence highly.
All that said, you should know that the feminist in you just might be pissed off by the book itself. It was, however, MUCH more palatable than Jane Austen. Of course, I can't really explain why...
