The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Guess i'll have to check out Blood Meridian after this  :-)

I'm thinking about reading The Road, myself. Film is coming out soon and I want to read the book before the film ruins it.

just finishing Robert Greenfield's Dark Star, an oral biography of Jerry Garcia, I'm sure a lot of you have read it as well.  Fascinating insights into Garcia's life, I may have read it 8 or 9 times but the cool thing about it is, I learn something new each read or get a new spin on something so in that sense its like a   improvisation, "the wheel keeps turning and it can't slow down"

I was browsing pics of Jerry and saw this one w/ Jerry diving in Hawaii May 90 w/ GD roadie/stage mgr./Garcia lifeline Steve Parish on the right and at the time Jerry's gf Barbara Meier, one of if not his first gf going back to pre-65.  Its cool to see Jerry having fun outside of music as well(note, check out Jer's missing digit on Barbara's right shoulder/arm).

Right now it's Freakonomics for me.  Interesting stuff so far.  The Roe vs. Wade/crime rate stuff caught me off guard.

Do it.  It's phenomenal.  Find a day or two to just sit down and read it.  You will be happy you did.

Awesome whale shirt but not as cool as the wolf shirt.

The guy on the right is not Steve Parish.

I just finished "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" and it was flipping hilarious.  Tucker Max might be one of the worst human beings on this earth, but he is easily one of the most entertaining as well.

Over The Edge of The World by Bergreen.
a really great account of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world back around 1520.
an insane adventure. took three years and the few sailors who actually made it all the way around sailed a total of 60 thousand miles. most died on the way.

i never realized how instrumental he was with 2nd City, and National Lampoon radio hour
