I just read SLAG's McDonalds thread. It was like a book. And it made me hungry.

I'm curious if you've read any Neal Stephenson? I really think that he's been overlooked as a writer in the vein of a Pynchon or David Foster Wallace for encyclopedic greatness. Snow Crash is great, but it doesn't really do much to make the comparison. If you haven't checked out Crytonomicon do so. After that, wade through the Baroque Cycle.

I've had Crytonomicon on "the list" for awhile...thanks for the suggestion, I had forgotten about it.

I love everything Wallace has written, and he has some great non-fiction.

I didn't really like this book. I couldn't concentrate on it.

I liked the book Jenson.

Re-reading The Da Vinci Code for an English class.

Oh hell...almost forgot. Picked this up two weeks ago at half-price books and it's on the list:

I'm currently reading a biography of Daniel Boone. Long overdue reading this one, since he's my great-X-whatever grandfather.

Last: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It - Mark Steyn - Quite entertaining if you like Steyn's sense of humor, but it's definitely a pessimistic view of things to come and probably won't sit well with liberals, multiculturalists or radical islamists.

Current: Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey - David Horowitz - The guy has led a facinating life. I'm not too far into the book yet so I can't give it a thumbs up or thumbs down at this point.

Reading Stephen King's Cell right now. Also reading Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep.

Speaking of Neil Stephenson, I have The Diamond Age on queue.

Oh, and I think I'm just about to start re-reading both The Dark Tower series and A Song of Ice and Fire.

Sons of the Oak by David Farland

no wonder you're a freakin psycho

Just finished Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow. Great, great book.

ROFL I'm thinking of reading Robert Jordan's The Eye Of The World next. Will that help? Has anyone read these "Wheel of Time" books and are they worth getting into? It's such a long series.
