Cool collection of books. I'll look forward to any reviews you do of them.
I need to step up my reading pace. I'm definitely not in your league there.
With no parther & no children I imagine that I have *much* more time to read than you do. Still 50 books a year doesn't feel enough to me.... [grin].
Slaughter House 5--it's been a long time since I've read it but dang, what an impact.
I feel like a bit of a cretin ... but I've never read Vonnegut. I bought this book and just borrowed Breakfast of Champions from Eric.
I have beena big fan of Kevin Smith for a long time, I loved Dogma and especially Chasing Amy, and his apperances with Leno and Letterman are always hillarious. Gotta find that book!
Yeah, Clerks is one of my favorite flicks.
If you get the chance, check out An Evening with Kevin Smith. It's basically just Q&A footage of him at various colleges across the US. It's pretty funny and Jason Mewes makes an appearance.
Where the heck have you been?
I know. I've been slacking. We went out of town this last weekend. I'm working on two posts right now, one of which (a review of the movie, Breach) will be posted tonight.
