 : 65 th | | | What book are you reading?
I kind of thought we had one of these, but I couldnt find it and Im too lazy to put much effort in looking for it.
but
I just finished reading Shogun, by James Clavell. Coffee or Tulk, I remember we were talking about this, did you guys end up reading it?
I am now starting the graphic novel Watchmen, which will be the first graphic novel I have "read."

| | | OOOOHHH how was it?
my friend wants me to read all of James Clavell, but he got me reading other things first. I'm currently on reading Caves of Steel from Isaac Asimov's Robot Series, but I haven't really read that in a while. I'm currently reading Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping by Paco Underhill (crazy book) and Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad (also crazy, like crazy revelations and such).
School makes it difficult to really read much of anything though. I try to read in off times (before class, bathroom, waiting rooms, etc). I also read when friends come over, it seems kinda weird, but we are usually fucked up anyways (which means I have to go back and read...it's a vicious cycle). |

| | | Coffee, how was the first one?
Oh, I also have to add Atlas Shrugged to my list and maybe Fountainhead. The same friend said Atlas Shrugged was revolutionary in ideas and concepts he believes in, strengthening the thoughts he had on things greatly. Very inspirational he claims.
Current Books:
Caves of Steel - Isaac Asimov
Why We Buy - Paco Underhill
Gideon's Spies - Gordon Thomas
Next Books:
The Naked Sun - Asimov (Robot Series)
Prelude to Foundation - Asimov (Foundation Series)
The Robots of Dawn - Asimov (Robot)
King Rat - Clavell
Tai-Pan - Clavell
I, Robot - Asimov (Robot)
Foundation's Edge - Asimov (Foundation)
Forward the Foundation - Asimov (Foundation)
Shogun - Clavell
Either finish Clavell or move on to Atlas Shrugged |

//I never got the whole "bathroom reading" thing. When I pinch a loaf I want to get the fuck outta there as quickly as possible. There is a limit to the amount of time I can endure enveloped by the aroma of roses and freshly printed money.

| I have a secret bathroom that holds the throne to which I retire, mostly for excremental purposes, but also for peace and quiet.
Obviously you are not married. The bathroom becomes a sanctuary.
SANCTUARY!!!!!!!
