My wife read that over my shoulder and she shares your sentiment...
From here it looks as if she's finding more and more time though...

Your wife reads "everybody poops" over your shoulder?

rowjimmy

Yes. I won't let her have her own copy.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is awesome. My mother turned me on to that when I was 8.

Now reading:
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry

So far, a great read.

"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."          -Bobby Finstock

I absolutely loved Lonesome Dove, and I never thought I'd ever bother reading a Western, but it's so well written and the characters feel like real people.

The sequel, Streets of Laredo, is pretty kickass too.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

If I like Lonesome Dove when I finish as much as I do right now, Streets of Laredo will def. hit my reading queue.

heh. addicting, aren't they? i'd say the two genres of books i hate the most are fantasy and swords & sorcery. yet these books truly kick ass. HBO just bought the rights to make them into a series, one book per 12 episode season. should be interesting if they actually pull it off...

This is your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin

really good read, I have ~60 pages left.  It is about cognitive neuroscience of the brain and how the brain processes music.   
Can we talk about the Dead?  I'd love to talk about the fucking Grateful Dead, for once, can we please discuss the Grateful FUCKING Dead!?!?!?!

Audacity of Hope.

I like the way this guy thinks and looks at the world.
