the only thing that bothers me about him is that the two books I read from him (Da Vinci Code and Angels and Deamons) were the same exact book. I think Da Vinci code was a better version of the first one.

This is because Dan Brown is (sorry!) AN AWFUL SUBPAR PSUEDO-PULP-MYSTERY WRITER.
Now, a man that can write about how a bunch of feminists put a talking flounder on trial, and tie in culinary history with the history of man's fight against the matriarchy... THAT'S A WRITER.

Haha, as the worker at the local Book Coral (a used book store) said, "we carry mostly junk fiction -- from the da vinci code to anne rice novels and romance novels as well"


clearly the dingy fifty year old man knows his stock.

Oh, I LOVE music. Just not boy-bands, for some reason.
Billie Holiday, Ani DiFranco, Sleater-Kinney, the Shins, more anti-facist hiphop than you could count, just saw soulfly last night, going to see Ben Harper, Beck, the Decemberists, Deerhoof, and the FLAMING LIPS(AIIIEEE!!!) in may, and in June I'm amped to see Hank III for the first time. I can dig John Lennon's solo stuff, but all the other stuff is too bland, or the people they took the stylings from is so much more better; Ravi Shankar, the blues style(which I realize is there own stylings, and as the UK had a tendacy to treat black blues artists a lot better than the good ol' Racist of A)...

ewwww Vonnegut

I don't get fiction.

Urhm. Explain Matt!

i don't get fiction, as in i think it sucks. i was just trying to put it nicely but you fucked that up for me didn't you Bob???

I did firedancing in my friend's backyard once, apparently I'm quite good, but i've been randomly twirling all kinds of sticks for years (drumsticks, broomhandles, random metal poles etc...out of habit), all I did was light the ends on fire haha...

SHARKNIFE
SCOTT PILGRIM
FLCL
WWW.STUFFSUCKS.COM
WWW.BARTLEBY.COM

Damn you, Matt. Damn you and your Vonnegut-hating self. Who could hate something like Tramalfedorians?

Well, I suggest Vonnegut.
Read the Grimms' Fairy Tales. It's creepy just how different those are from the glamoured kiddy versions. Example: with Cinderella's step-sisters, one had her eyes pecked out by a crow and the other had her feet cut off, both as punishment. Hahaha. I loves it.

Btw, I'm currently reading A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA at the behest of my lovely girlfriend. Otherwise I'd probably be hauling ass through Agile Web Development with Ruby on Rails at this point in time!

I thought the step sisters and step mother get raped?! am I just wrong or do they get raped? (it always seemed like justice to me!)

True, they did, I just didn't know how many noobs there were who would close their eyes and chant a mantra of 'the world is beautiful and good' at the mention of such a dirty thing. Much of why ifrits haven't been mentioned ;)

hahaha who cares about the noobs we need to break them in one way or another don't we?! natural selection must take its course, who can survive us who cannot.....

I've actually started reading Da Vinci Code. So far, I'm not that impressed, but probably because there's politicking involved, so far.

I was waiting at Safeway for my friends to finish with some RX stuff, and I read the first page and stopped. Waste, what a waste. So I went and harassed the sushi chef in Japanese.

Ahh... the Da Vinci Code... the result of centuries of ingrained, deep setted religion coming against a confrontional text in a age where spirituality is gone and pragmatism rules. In fact it isn't that great a book. I only found it good for a bit of a laugh and that's all. The only reason it is so popular is because of the general vulgarness of the masses
