This is the sequel to The Gates. Two of my favorite books. I highly reccomend them. Brilliantly funny.

Full Dark, No Stars - Stephen King. Just Re-read it. Excellent.

I'm about to start it.

Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger

Ok. A little too much of a puff piece.
But I'll bet Wendy Leigh's book is too much of a dirt digger.

Craig2112 would have an absolute heart attack from reading this.

I thought it was absolutely amazing. Has completely re-kindled a love for American 20th century plays for me. I plan on moving onto Arthur Miller now, seeing as I have only read "All My Sons" from him.

Would highly recommend many of you to give this play a read, if you haven't seen the HBO min-series already.

Last 3 fiction books I read:

- Stories of your Life and Others, by Ted Chiang. An absolutely incredible collection of undefinable novellas.
- In a Dark Dark House, by Neil Labute. A little play that takes a very unconventional look at adolescent sexuality. I'd say it was interesting but somewhat uneventful.
- The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman. I finally got to read this famous novel. And it was pure and unadulterated garbage.

Pretty good if you are interested in urban development/economics. Mainly just a long extrapolation of all those - why Detroit/Rust belt cities failed and NYC kept going/rebounded despite some similar challenges - articles that show up every once in awhile.

If you are a NASCAR fan and remember the day Dale Earnhardt died, In The Blink of an Eye is a must-read book written by Michael Waltrip, Dale's friend and the driver who won the race that day. Funny, sad, entertaining.

The part where he died? Ya, that's probably the most I've ever watched of NASCAR -- thank Gordon it actually was "in the blink of an eye" because, wow, I'd rather watch Craig1221 feed his cats.

His reputation precedes him, huh?

Fox In Socks by Dr. Suess. Trying to raise my reading level.

This book kicked ***. I'll be buying the sequal when it comes out this summer.
