Don't we have this same thread like every month?

 

I just finished THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE by Jonathan Lethem.

Next I am gonna read some John M Ford book from the 1980's, or reread PERDIDO ST STATION by China Mieville. I need a couple of 400 page specials for next week when I go off to logging camp to get me through the long nights with nothing to do but talk logger.

Yes, but hopefully, the books are different.

 

I'm reading FBI: Behind the World's Most Powerful Law Enforcement Agency by Ronald Kessler. A lot of the stories I've heard before, but many I have not. It's an enjoyable read.

So what's your point? High percentages make it okay?

IMO tri (or any other relatively-low-$-return sport) is a stupid way to make a living. Double that if ya have to sacrifice your future health in order to eat.

zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.

 

i need more quality in my life. thumbs_up.gif

 

that any good? keep hearing about it. Is it in paperback?

 

I just read Fred Moody's "Seattle and the Demons of Ambition : A Love Story". It's OK, but it's more about Fred Moody than Seattle. Not worth the hard cover price I paid. Before that it was Fight Club. Shockingly, the movie is better.
