GREAT BOOK...it's about all types of our "lovely" American culture, the funnier parts are obviously the ones you're more familiar with because he goes into such detail with them such as going through every season and many characters of the real world. I never knew that someone could take something like the real world or any of the other subjects and use them to perform such a critique on society. You'll end up disgusted but laughing your ass off by the end of it, trust me


yea i'm already getting a little annoyed by his character, but i'm still really into it. i mean he admits to being a slave to it all (the bullshit society loves such as the real world), yet seems to criticize them at the same time...sort of patronizing them.

even though i'm not a billy joel fan, i laughed the most so far at his whole chapter on billy joel and why he's not popular. lol

Ugh, haven't had time to finish Baudolino...hopefully no one's reserved it so I can renew it on Friday. I really want to get through it cause I have this one lined up next:





Btw basd, Baudolino isn't a tough read at all. In fact it's quite humorous. I dunno if you've ever heard of Baron Munchausen? Anyway, it reminds me of his tall tales.

I just finished:



I really liked how it differed from the movie - the gist of the story is of course very similar, but the philosophical focus is somewhat different. In the book, Deckard is very much more focused on his own existence rather than just the existence of the androids.

Now I'm moving on to:


It's my first Gabriel Garcia Marquez novella, and someone recommended it before reading:

I'm not sure how much got lost in translation in this book, but if the translation is any good it will be one of the most enjoyable books you will ever read. GGM is by far one of my favorite writers and this book is a gem.


Posted by Silky Johnson on May-27-2007 14:08:

Omggggg soo many good books in this thread that I wanna read!! I need to stop looking in here until I get through at least ONE of the ones sitting on my desk, lol.

Sweet! I'm excited! I'm about halfway through Leaf Storm right now, so hopefully I'll be able to start 100 Years by the middle of the week.
