The Greater Journey--Americans in Paris The Greater Journey--Americans in Paris, by David McCullough. I recently finished the audiobook version and it was interesting, but very slow. Definitely not as good as 1776 or John Adams but still an interesting book. I'd recommend the abridged version...

There goes my trip to the Andromeda Galaxy CERN bastards!:confused:

Hah!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Not bad, my friend. Thanks for sharing it. Here's a little revision, for what it's worth (I'm a prose writer, not a poet, so take it with a rather large grain of salt :cool:). Why Should I suffer, I ask Myself? To touch my goals, to reach them all? I try to grasp, only to fall. I smile...

Hah! LMFAO! Here's a funny story that is kind of in the same "genre." In college, Michael Crichton had an English teacher who was constantly belittling his writing. Crichton decided to submit an essay by T.S. Elliot to the guy as a sarcastic joke--the professor didn't catch on and gave him a...

Nice weapon That's a good looking weapon. I'm a Glock man myself but I'm thinking about getting a new weapon since my Glock 17 is getting long-in-tooth. The thing I like about Glocks is that they're very forgiving if you get lazy and don't clean them for awhile. How forgiving is your Kimber to...

Thanks Thanks, I appreciate it! Leonardo Noto

Star Wars I definitely do not want to see The Phantom Menace again, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't pay to have those awesome Aunt Baru and Uncle Owen toys:cool: For good movie starved Star Wars fans, check out The Force Unleashed (Part 1) video game. It's bascially an interactive movie...

Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses without Slash is not Guns N' Roses! Leonardo Noto

The Changling I'm a little behind the curve on this one since it's been out for a good while, but I just saw The Changling with Angelina Jolie, and it was exceptional. It explores the true story of a child abduction in 1920's Los Angeles and also deals with police corruption and the unethical...

Welcome! Greetings, from a fellow Stephen King fan.

Greetings! Welcome!

Burt and Kim Jongs Sparkchaser, you grumpy ole' linedrawing you; I never would have guessed that you had a sense of humor:D You should check out the website, "Kim Jong Il looks at things...it's even better than his son's special little webpage. btw, the image of Burt with Graves Disease is...

David Copperfield In my opinion, David Copperfield is one of the greatest novels ever written. The character examination, especially of the scumbags (of which there are many), is unparalleled and the story is both touching and brutal at the same time. Yes, the reading does take some getting...

My recent trips Well, I've been on a few recent trips. I returned from a little "trip" to Iraq a few months ago and I can't say that I recommend it very much for tourism (which is really a shame given the unrivaled history of Mesopotamia). Thailand is really fun; I can't recommend Phuket...

Thanks for the feedback Again, thank you all for the feedback, both the positive and the negative. This book is intentionally written in an archaic fashion, as an 18th century Virginian aristocrat might write, and I know that some may find it overdone. I'll be posting some of my other writings...

"I'll take an Indie film over something that costs $20 million to make any day." (Lovecraftian). I'll second that. I almost universally hate contemporary blockbusters. The only widely popular movies that I've liked in the past few years were the Harry Potter films. Russel Crowe and Johnny...
