No, but I'm intrigued by anything about shipwrecks.



Your book looks really good, I'm going to pick it up this weekend. And hopefully they have the titanic one in stock as well.

Awesome, the book I said I was reading last May, I actually read on the weekend. I've been busy, or something.

Sometimes you think a book will be good but then you start reading it and it sort of sucks but you feel obligated to finish it, ever have that problem?

I used to, but not anymore. I'm not gonna torture myself trying to read something I'm not into. Too many books to read.

Good to hear! That's exactly what I thought as I was reading Moby Dick, which I expected to be tedious.

Well...I didn't think slaughter house 5 was worth a damn...boring book in my opinion, I liked Cat's Cradle much more.

Finished the Dark Tower: Wastelands and am finding time to read Wizard and Glass.

Also reading: Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut

Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors, and I hated Slaughterhouse Five. Cat's Cradle is great. Mother Night is even more great, and has my favorite devastating surprise line of any book I've ever read.

I loved Slaughterhouse 5, but then I've loved every single one his books. Player Piano I think is his best.

Right now I'm reading John Dies at the End by Cracked.com writer David Wong.

I loved that one. Read it twice.

I just started Robert Reich's Aftershock. Very enlightening. He contends that the economic conditions today are very similar to those that existed right before the Great Depression.

"Tender is the Night" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's amazing, and I am an asshole for not having read it sooner.

The Book Thief.

It's my sister's favorite book, and it's pretty damn good so far.

Also, How To Read Literature Like A Professor, which is extremely unique and insightful. Both of these books are for school; there's also a third I haven't started yet, but I forget what it is.




Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.
