wow - thanks for the compliment. i respect that coming from someone as seemingly grounded as you!

but - i have to say that i can't accept that without feeling some guilt because i do throw out some wisecracks and comments at other people's expense (read: bouncer )

lol - actually - if you can find that "which simpon's character are you" thread, i turned out to be krusty the clown, and the character description was... well - let's just say it hit pretty close to home cynicism and scarasm is not something one can live without on the east coast.

i just seriously was curious about what ppl on this board read though, to get an idea of what kind of ppl are around me. it's usually a bunch of joking around, but when you ask ppl what's in their library, it opens a slight window into what that person is like - or desires to be like. to me, my favorite is to look through a person's book collection at their house to see what they're like. it's an insight into their world. much like how a lot of ppl snoop through medicine cabinets to see how heavily sedated their friends are :p

sana,

I'm a jersey boy so it took me years to delete the cynicism/sarcasm code from my brain, know what you mean.
It's fine and dandy up east, yet, it doesn't fly in the south, it's very off putting.

I've found compatibility wise in a relationship, have to be with a reader, just much more mentally stimulating.

The books that i have been reading lately all have about 3 words per page, the pages are hard cardboard and they all rhyme. My 9 month old seems to like it more than me.

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

The best book I've read of the series is book 3--it's by far the scariest and most interesting it's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban... it totally keeps you guessing... the movie this year should be the best of them all!

John Sanford, has a series with "Prey" in the title,

Night Prey
Secret Prey
Night Prey

etc.

Also, Lawrence Sanders, has a series "Deadly Sins" in the title,

First Deadly Sin
Second Deadly Sin

There's are two you can count on each time always quality.

Teek, yeah don't see big thing about Catcher in The Rye either.

Actual true story, saw that title at book store, bought it, and it was acually Bob Yewker's autobiography with some funny wording for like wrye, actually pretty good.


Favorite Book of All Time: A Time To Kill, by Mr. John Grisham,

the ending courtroom scene, where he makes you see in pictures and then he says, man, that just tore me up, whole book was so laden with southern struggles, and then the struggle of the family and lawyer, have spent half life in south and some in sleepy small towns so that stuff is so true

later

well in a nutshell they are both philosophical treatise by Ayn Rand who founded the Objectivist movement. Christ they are hard to descibe they are very in depth. The fountainhead is all about individualism vs the group. Atlas shrugged is a scenario where the men of mind leave society because they are told they are bad and bring nothing but evil to society. so they give society what they want and you will see where it leads too. and who actually needs who. These are bad descriptions the books are so much better than I just described. Go to the barnes and noble website and read the summaries. and just so you know atlas shrugged is the second most influential book ever written, it only finished second to the Bible. that should tell you something about how good it is.

ayn rand is a very verbose writer from what i have gathered from atlas shrugged, only about 100 pages deep though. Very brilliant, and i understand her thoughts.

one thing on her behalf, i beleive they got paod by the word some years ago

the best way i can describe them, probably not gonna be as good as stonecolds but, her philosophy is that the world is a machine. each person should be selfish and self-righteous in order to keep the world running smoothly. but take the brilliant and successful, who do everything for themselves, but in the end it beneifts everyone. know they get pissed, and withdraw, and watch the world drop
