fAUSTO - I have several 100 year old books for sale on EBay right now . .  . sellername indianasmith1, and they're cheap . . .  Kipling, Byron, Churchill among others.  Picked em up in an estate sale last weekend.


Now that the entire series is finished, I am reading Stephen King's THE DARK TOWER in its entirety.  Finished THE GUNSLINGER and am nearly done with THE DRAWING OF THE THREE.

Finished Lonesome Traveler the other day and have now begun Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.  It's pretty interesting so far.  Too bad I haven't had time to read much, what with work and moving.   Bluesad

One of my faves ! Thumbup


Dan Slott's run on She-Hulk is great! If you like that, I highly recommend finding his GLA (Great Lakes Avengers) stuff. Very funny stuff.

"Swim the Fly" a teen comedy by first time novelist Don Calame.

It has all the gross things that teenage boys supposedly like. Flatulence jokes. Jokes about diarrhea. Vomiting into the swimming pool during a swimming meet. Having involuntary erections. Well, maybe not the last.

A two goal novel.

The hero of the novel and his two best buds, each year, set a goal for themselves to accomplish over the summer. Last year, they saw a girl's naked breast. So, this year their goal is to see a girl totally naked. Of course, all their attempts to do so end in disaster.

But the hero also has a more individualistic goal. To impress the hot new girl on his swim team, he volunteers to swim the butterfly. Even though he has never swam the butterfly before, and it is the hardest swimming stroke to learn. This goal ends in a way he did not expect, but it does not end as disasterly as the other goal.

Recommended for the comedy and the reality of it.

And anyway, it'd make a great film.

I just got done reading the third Solomon Vs Lord book, "Kill All the Lawyers" by Paul Levine.  It was a good read, the SvL series is really funny, you guys should check it out.  What was nice about this one is Bobby, Solmon's nephew, finally gets some chapters from his perspective and becomes a bigger character in the series, something I think is great. 

Also just got done reading Master of Lies by Graham Masterson.  First book by the guy, and I guess it was okay, nothing really exciting or inventive, I thought.

I just started WATCHMEN. 

You guys may find this hard to believe, but I'd never even heard of it before someone started a topic on the board about it a year ago.  Then I saw the movie and was intrigued enough to order the graphic novel.  Good stuff!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
