I want something mindless. I have that Space Moon book.....hmmm....but what I've skimmed is just outright awful.

No, sadly.

Dalton said:I reread GGM's One Hundred Years of Solitude this week. Always a pleasure.
Got Philk? said:
I talked with him on the phone for a college class called "sports and the mass media".
Dalton said:
No doubt. He's one guy that I have always wanted to meet. If I were going to start a religion, he would be God.
No spoken words said:
I've read that and Love in the Time of Cholera.

Beav, Eco is the opposite of mindless.
Dude, you never finished the Wolfe titles....read that, though, it's not mindless either.
Ever heard of Dan Simmons? He writes good Sci-Fi, but it's not on par with Wolfe....easier read......check out "Hyperion".
UberBeaver said:
Yeah, Wolfe is far from mindless. Maybe I'll read some Harry Potter. I'm talking mindless, dude. But engaging.
Dalton said:
Very cool! What did you talk about?
I was close with my grandfather as a young boy, but he died so long ago that I can't remember his actual voice. When I try to imagine it, he sounds like Ernie.
Dalton said:Have you ever read The Brothers K by David James Duncan or any of Michael Chabon's books?
VintagePunk said:
You can tell it's a great book when it stays with you long after you've read it, and both of them have, for me.
No spoken words said:
An employee of mine bought me the Brother's K....I have that aversion to sports books, but since it was a gift, I'll read it.
Have read 2 Chabon titles....The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, as well as The Mysteries of Pittsburgh....own 2 more of his books as well.
Dalton said:My wife just signed up for a facebook account (I don't have one) and let me just say that many of her friends are whores.
VintagePunk said:
Of the cheap ilk, or of the good-hearted variety?
Got Philk? said:I'm a facebook whore...
U2dem...look me up! Phil Kelder
Dalton said:I felt the same way about K&C. I have Yiddish Policeman's Union on my desk, but I haven't started reading it yet.
