@UIC

So yeah, busy. In Ro's friends dorm room.
Not gonna be a nerd and maintain a blog here.
My one this I will tell you...
I'm the ONLY cracker in here.
Exciting, huh?

Happy Saint Patricks Day one day late!

I shudder at the thought of David Hasselhof in nothing but shamrocks... gross.

Bastards, Tim for taking my non-Orson Scott Card choice and Rob for anticipating my Ender's Shadow choice. But I just read Hitcherhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. All excellent choices.

Reading Ender's Shadow was great. Because reading the first book, the reader, I, was the hero. The 2nd time around you see some of the same events from an outside perspective. And a really interesting one. All in all an amazing book. Although I liked Ender's Game better, how can you not love Ender, basically you put yourself into his role. Cleverly you end up loving Ender, just as you love yourself.

But those books aside, the things banned and the things that have already been covered, I got nothing. No books to report on. I'd say Lord of the Rings because I've read it about 50 million times, but I'm not really feeling it at the moment.

So what I'm really saing is, how dare you all have similar tastes/influence my current reading selections to the point that I don't feel like reccomending anything else? I'm outraged.

P.S. I've always wanted to say this legitimately to someone, Rob this one's for you:

REPRESENT!

Ok, thought of one. It only took me 12 hours, but I came up with a great book that I think everyone should read. Despite Tim's claim of HGTG being the funniest book he ever read, I don't think he's read this one. It's Jay Leno's autobiography and it is hilarious.

Dad even got our copy signed by Jay at a book signing. I will say that HGTG is a deeply clever book and the absurdity and improbability throughout it is deliciously rediculous, but some of Jay's stories just kill me. So check out 'Leading with my chin' by Jay Leno. I think every aspiring comic should read that book.
