thank you. those aren't something i've read yet. anything light and/or entertaining? i'm in the middle of aquinas's summa right now and i kind of need a break from all the thinking. it's either that or chinese cartoons.

Try this on for size. I think it's the best book written so far in the 21st Century.

Note you may want to wait a few months for this one, I think Laurus is a book best read in the colder months.

daily reminder that Thompson was a sheep-dipped glowie with more than one skin.
S oy boys still believe that he was "le heckin gonzo journalist'.
He killed himself not bc "the baseball season was over" but bc he had sold his soul to satan one too many times.
Anons won't get this through their thick heads.
p.s. i absolutely loved campaign trail and shark hunt. The problem is that in him ppl see the person that they want to see.
