Literacy

Hell, I went to college for computer science. I just read Simulacra and Simulation because they mentioned it in The Matrix.

Yes, hello, I'm a huge dork.

The Questionnaire: A Prayer for a Small town and a Friend by the obscure Czech writer, Ji%u0159í Gru%u0161a. It's darkly humorous, and is everyday life writ large -- in a way only Eastern European writers seem to be capable of. In the vain of Milan Kundera.

See, I read it 'cause I thought I was clever and it would make me smart and get me girls. At least you had a good reason.

Oh my, the author's name isn't Ji%u0159í Gru%u0161a, at all. Actually, it's Jiri Grusa.

Awesome, cause Google was having trouble with that one.

Ji%u0159í Gru%u0161a didn't match any documents?! WTF?

It's a good book, although I'm having trouble deciding which of you two had the worse reason for reading it.

Hey, at least I admitted mine was a bad reason.

I'm reading Structuralism and Semiotics, by Terrance Hawkes, for the umpteenth time.

I'm supposed to read "Goodbye to all That" for my Western Civ class...

Very true. Point Satan.

I just read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. Great read, Like a cross between Harry Potter and the Aubrey-Maturin series.

Wait, I admitted I've read Baudrillard, which is by default a bad reason. I demand a recount.

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues.

I'm needing motivation.

I regret reading On the road in general.

"A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury

Right now, I'm reading through James Herriott's novels. I'm on the third volume, All Things Wise and Wonderful.

I was reading Chris Moyles book but I finished it. Then I was reading the last troy book by Gemmel but I finished that. Now I might read some Lovecraft

At least wait until after the primaries, Philly boy.

I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula.
