no i went to catholic school my whole life i know trinity isn't catholic i just didn't want to go to a private school anymore
and i'm definitely not thinking about UIW because the high school i graduated from was owned and operated by UIW
Ahh, okay, misread you then.
i went to barnes & noble today for like 40 minutes and picked up a couple of books and then changed my mind. i wanted to get recommendations first because i was really lost as to what to look for.
i really like chuck klosterman and dean koontz. i'm not a huge reader but the few novels i've read have been from those guys and i have a lot of free time on my hands these days being unemployed and it looks like rain all weekend so i really want to get lost in a great book.
recommendations please!
i'm into true crime/suspense and then also sarcastic cinical towards pop culture stuff too.

lol that's college required reading
George Bataille's Story Of The Eye. It's a thriller and a short read - you'll love it.
k i'm going back to the bookstore tomorrow.
this is what i had in my hand and was ready to buy though lol
No wait, don't get the one I recommended. Just don't. 
Though the Hitchins one looks like it could be really interesting. I'd go for that one.
I don't recommend the Hitchens book at all. I found it very dull.. It's mainly quotes, old articles, and tales of the ridiculous stuff people have said/done related to religion in the past. I think everyone knows by now that it has resulted in millions of deaths and held back human progress. That's common knowledge and the Hitchens book is just a dry historical account. If you want a more thoughtful book on the subject..something putting forth solid arguments in favor of reason and against the religious/mystical mindset, check out The God Delusion instead.
to be honest i'm looking more for an escape and entertainment, more than thought-provoking stuff like religion lol
Atlas Shrugged it is.

Was recommended this and finished it in one day! Liked it very much. 
was just gonna bump this thread. got my mom's package today with some books in it and little sticky notes on each one about what they're about lol she's funny
i'll be reading John Standford's "Chosen Prey"
cheesey thriller/serial killer book. perfect for all this rain.
Ender's Game is totally a day-read, but not because it's short. 
Just finished Don Quixote.
Next up: Faulkner's Sanctuary

self aware universe is pretty good - it's sitting on my shelf. it's written more for a broader audience than his other work 'science and spirituality'
i see it as a good introduction to the current science of consciousness and quantum physics.
i should read it again
