Just sold a bunch of books to the Village Wench in Milford and picked up "The Path to Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson" by Robert A. Caro

Quote from: Me!
I love Stephen King, classic american author the Dark Tower series is an AMAZING series of books


That is probably going to be the next thing I read. I have lots of time at work when the phones aren\'t ringing.

Quote from: Me!
btw: an author\'s fake name = pseudonym


Thats what I was looking for. I just couldn\'t think if I spelt Pseudo right.

Quote from: Me!
I was reading one of the Bachman books but I couldn\'t quite get into it. I think it was Regulators


There are 5 books that he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork and The Running Man. None of them were that great but a definite psychotic twist for stories and they were enjoyable enough to kill the time in this dreaded cube.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

Lyndon B. Johnson use to sit on Air Force one with no pants on. Use to have all the female interns sit on his lap. Rumour has it that he has balls that would fit comfortablely on bulls.

any good? I have it at home, my mother has like 100s of Stephen King books. I really want to read the book The Cell by King, before I make a decision to plug back into the matrix and get a cell phone.

You\'d better have ALOT of time to undertake the Dark Tower, it\'s a journey, no doubt.
~2700pgs

A lot of people have told me to read that series but I don\'t know if I have that much time to commit to it!  I\'m currently slowly making my way through Howard Zinn\'s A People\'s History of the United States.  I would highly recommend it.  A friend of mine read World\'s End on my recommendation and I agreed to read something he liked and he picked Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (Chuck Klosterman).  Anyone read it?  Is it any good?

I was flipping through Klostermans new book "Killing Yourself to Live" the other day.  After reading the description of "Sex, Drugs...etc." it seemed to have the same theme as "Killing Yourself..." - pop culture analysis.  I didn\'t buy it because the couple pages I read felt more like a college kids diary than a novel.

Zinns "history of the us" = best history book ever.

I\'ll bring it for you tonight. Maybe throw it in your car, underneath a seat with a dead fish and spilt milk all over it.
