Why not just have Grams loan you some money to buy the software?

I might have to pick that up. Seems odd that its from Tom Wolf...but that just feigning that i know shit about authors.

Just checking. I don't assume anything.

I'm not sure why it would necessarily sound odd that Tom Wolfe wrote it. You're not thinking of the Look Homeward Angel Thomas Wolf, are you? (There's a minor difference in the spelling of their names... but, I forget what it is.) This is the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Tom Wolfe.
Yeah it the same guy i was thinking of. The guy that wrote Bonfire of the Vanities. For some reason i thought he had written a bunch of novels, but has only written a few. Just though he was a big name author for some reason and him wrighting about keggers seemed odd.

The whole lifestyle of modern college students is as foreign to her as it would've been to him... as the old author dude wandering around campus trying to figure these animals out.

It's really a pretty good read. I'm about halfway through it... would reccommend.
Cool, it sounds pretty interesting. I'll pick up a copy and give it a go.

I never got into comic books to much...I remember the first non little kids type books i read that actully took some time to read where a set of books called "Foul Play" they were a lot like the goosebumps books that became so popular a litte later on.

After reading some things like that I made a jump and read the uncut version of the stand...that took me a long long long time in middle school it was about 1,300 pages but I loved it.

Since then I just read things that seem to be all over the board. If I have a small intrest or curiosity I try to find something...

I would reccomend...

<a href="http://www.mcpl.lib.mo.us/readers/series/juv/title.cfm?id=523">"Surely "You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character</a>
It is about a Physicist named Richard Feynman. The guy is a very accomplished scientists and even worked on the Manhatten Project. It is less about his technical know how and more about his personality. All kinds of interesting stories about how he would use some really bright idea to change his daily life and the life of others. Its tough to describe but a pretty good read.

There is also the book I was trying to sell to Roy...
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743249992/qid=1105181011/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-8000327-0411268"> "Bringing Down The House"</a> about the MIT students who took Vegas for millions playing blackjack with what I can only assume were impressive math stratigies while backed by different investors.

Just a few things I found interesting. Right now I am reading something about blogging and its possible affect on the future of journalism.

Question got the game downloading has been since 6 am and its already at about 30 %, could i close it and would it restart at 30 % later when i resume or would i have to start it all over again ???

Roy, we've been over this before. Your computer's a piece of shit. Don't bother with Madden on the PC.

As if you could actually get it working.... ROFL

Well you sold me on it. I'm reading a fiction novel right now but will have to pick that up after I'm done. Sounds interesting.
