My first choice is to buy books at my little local bookstore. I like to help the small independent stores as much as possible. If I'm ordering online it's from Amazon - I'm a sucker for the free shipping. My other favorite bookstore is Powell's. There's one in the Portland, OR airport - I...

I'm happy because it's Friday, and it's almost Christmas! :D

Good job!! :) Now you can have a nice relaxing winter break!!:D

Takezo lay among the corpses. Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa

That was my thought too.... like, 5 minutes later they come running out of the back room. Maybe they were on lunch? hmmm.

He was surprisingly fast at moving...both times... ...and unfazed by the whole thing. beer good - awesome WoW reference :D The <afk> dude is perfect!! lol

Bleeker's quirkiness (is that a word?) was definitely the best part of the movie! :)

I use Google constantly, especially when I am reading. If something comes up that I don't know about in the text, I run off to the computer and look it up. Sometimes it sidetracks me though, because looking up one thing always leads to another...and so on. :) I'm currently reading Musashi...

I am resurrecting this thread because I just started reading this book and so far, I adore it! I stayed up way too late last night because it sucked me right in. So far I'm only about 100 pages in, and it's about 950 - so it's really long - yay! :) Has anyone else read it?

Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa

it's not good enough to have stuck in your head for 3 years, let me tell you! LOL

I just finished Dirt Music last week. I felt like the novel fell flat about halfway through and I had to push to get through it. It felt a little rambling and over-written to me. But, I do have to say that I really enjoy Winton's style of writing, so Cloudstreet and The Riders are both on my TBR...

Augusten Burroughs is a favorite author of mine. I adored everything he has put out so far, with the exception of A Wolf at the Table. I think I was wanting it to be more funny, and it's just not a funny book - definitely a different mood than the other books. Dry is one of my favorite...

Firestorm - Nevada Barr is the only book I have found with local connections for me. I read this because it takes place in Lassen National Park which is basically my backyard. I was very sad that I didn't enjoy the book at all. :( I wanted to love it... but I could hardly finish it. Darn it.

I thought Eclipse was the best of the four books.
