What BOOK are you reading right now?

Thanks.

You mean you don't have a resident medievalist? How has the world not fallen apart already?

And I changed my avatar.

Smart move Milo, I heard reports you were getting love notes from lonely A2Kers.

D'art -I believe that title comes from a panda joke. Do you remember it?..I liked it a lot.

The joke goes something like this:

A panda walks into a cafe and orders a sandwich. When he's finished, he pulls out a gun and fires it into the air. A shocked waiter asks why he did that. The panda takes out a badly punctuated reference book and shows it to the waiter. The entry reads: "Panda, a bear-like mammal that eats, shoots and leaves."

The way I remember it, a blonde takes a panda home for sex - after giving her oral sex, and emptying its seed, it runs out the door. As its leaving she says "where are you going?" to which he replies "I'm a panda,." Not knowing what it was gibbering about she picks up a dictionary and finds panda. Same entry as above.

LOL...thanks y'all

Someone just gave me this for my birthday!


Panzade: gggrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet you'll enjoy it, margo. She's a lot of fun (especially in her employment of recurring gags).

Margo! What did I say to piss you off THIS time?

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat - happens every day - or does it?

Im about half way through Dennis Lehane's "A Drink Before The War". I like it because it Boston/Dorchester based and I know everything he talking about.

NOW I realize hes the author of Mystic River as well.

Good stuff this guy. Recommend.

I'm reading Tales Of Old Japan - originally published in 1871. It's a classic written by a guy, A.B. Mitford, working in the newly opened up Japan of that time.

Gus, tell me here what you thought about the Incident?

most things.....

Bob's your uncle!

"Case Studies in Immunology." It's pretty boring, but the pictures are...

Well, frankly, the pictures are pretty gross.

I though Haddon did an exceptional job of telling a story from an autistic viewpoint. Of course, who really knows about the inner workings of the autistic mind, but obviously Haddon has some experience on that subject.

I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times in the book, especially when Christopher was carrying on his investigation and interviewing some of the neighbors.

The book reminded me a bit of "Rainman" but I'm sure Hoffman's character would be unable to pull off the 100 mile journey to London. That was quite an accomplishment.

What'd you think?

I am now looking for a copy of "Leipolds Ghost" There was an article about the Congo in the New York Times yesterday and that book was mentioned. Sounds interesting.

Sounds like you've been flipping through the Ratzenhofer family album.

Yes. Your Aunt Flo is quite the looker.

(Just jealous of you degenerate hedonist enjoying books.)

The Deep End of the Ocean

Finished Lehane, Swept through Robin Cook's "Fatal Cure" and started an old Koontz although the title slips my mind at the moment.
