Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
Barney: Circle gets the square!
The 2074 MSL NL Gold Glove Recipient at Third Base.
Yeah, and a pretty well received one at that. The main character isn't a total jerk and the bad things he does, he almost is over the top with the guilt he feels. There isn't an organization that hunts his "type", rather the government becomes aware of him as he keeps getting involved in various airplane hostage situations. And the bad guy in the book is a terrorist who is responsible for his mother's death (who died as a hostage forced to carry a bomb off a plane.)
Now I don't know if later book gets into the same lame territory the movie did, but the first novel would have probably made a pretty decent flick.

No, he is the only Jumper (at least by the end of that novel.) The other guy, the bad guy, was just a regular terrorist.

F451... I want to re-read that too mission. Been awhile.
While I was locked up (they won't let me oooooout) I read The Jordan Rules (Sam Smith, a Tribune guy I believe, who covered the Bulls in the early '90s), The Secret (some book about the law of attraction, it was so-so but I'm not finished yet), some self-talk book that was really long but not bad, and a ton of CALVIN & HOBBES
I feel like I read a lot more, but titles are escaping me...
BIZARRE AND MY MOM!!!!!
u still fat
Fahrenheit 451 was as good as remembered, glad I found it again.
I just started The Wal-Mart Effect today. I've had the book for a few years as it was used in a business ethics class I took but we only looked at a few small sections of it and did not read the book in its entirety.

I just finished re-reading The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. Before that I read something else, can't remember what though.
I am now going to start Post Office by Charles Bukowski, a book I've always heard good things about and have wanted to read for some time.

Just read A Clockwork Orange, finally. Now I am about to read Everything That Rises Must Converge.

That was a great book. And yes, it was the book that Jacob was reading on LOST (I am that much of a nerd.)
Now I am reading Fletch, which I have always wanted to read as it is one of my favorite movies.

Last 20 or 30 pages of Fletch was great.
Now I am re-reading Youth In Revolt, which I haven't read since I was like 14 or 15. Loving it all over again so far.

Ok, I read "Who Is Mark Twain" (not the best collection of his works), then I read "The Accidental Billionaires" (about the founding of Facebook) and now I am reading "The Devil In The Kitchen" by Marco Pierre White, which is quite good.

What's your thoughts on "A Tramp Aboard", one of Mark Twains more unknown works?
I've actually never read but my mom told me that it was hilarious. How did you like it? Should I put it on my list to read?

Pretty good I thought. Quite enjoyable for a guy like myself, who usually sticks to stuff about history. But I found this to be quite "historic" in a sense, yet still a good piece of writing.
Speaking of history, I just picked up Fordlandia by Greg Grandin.
