We need to have more wine parties. Will Ferrell is infinitely more funny, if that is possible, fruit becomes the snack of choice, Bobby dishes out concussions with his forehead, and everyone is a philosopher. That's a recipe for fun if you ask me.

The luandry list of books I'd like to read is starting to coalesce into an actual summer reading plan that has a level of managability I have not previously encountered in the realm of literature. My interests are vast and varied, and the dangerous result of this is the purchasing of what some call a tiny library of tombs, only half of which I have actually read. When I pick up a new book, I'll almost immediately leaf through it, spotting something here and there and doting upon it briefly, but it's really a coin toss as to whether or not I'm going to start from the front cover and move in some linear fashion to the back. My mind resounds with a promising I'll get to it later.

So far, the list is:
- Pierre by Herman Melville
- Billy Budd and The Piazza Tales by Herman Melville
- Simulacra by Philip K. Dick
- Mind Wide Open by Steven Johnson
- Psychology and The Occult by C.G. Jung
- Utopia Sir Thomas More

I'm sure more will be added, as some of those are short reads. I blame the Melville kick on Paul Giamatti which is interesting, because I can only think of one movie I've seen him in and it was the richly embellished biography of the man-child, Howard Stern.

Got some books to suggest?

I have no idea what to get my mom for tomorrow. Hmm...

I think I get it.
I'm a big fan of his tics. I love the way he uses them to bring you right back to where you were the last time he used one. Or something like that.
I find that I'm often arguing with people about him and I don't like it. I'm going to start refusing to do so. As with everything else, it's all about personal preference and I happen to prefer him. Over almost all modern authors. So far he's only written one book I'm not wild about. And the travel book is for Portland, which happens to be my favorite city in the US.
I think I'd love to be friends with him.

Speaking of books about people in high school-have you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
Someone asked me what the most beautiful book I've ever read was and before I even had a chance to think about it, I blurted out that and House of Leaves. I guess I'd add to the list for sure but that was a pretty good start. I believe it's worth checking out if you haven't already.
