I've always been a big reader, at times fluctuating from 1 book on the go with 2 in the back to 3 books on the go with one in the background. Lately Suzy read the 1st volume "
Fellowship of the Ring" while I read both
Salt (political/religious filters) and
Stone (genocide with a twist) by Adam Roberts. I love the ideas behind his works, he brings such fascinating stories to life! I'm also trying to get through American Theocracy again. (everytime I do, something else seems to leap up and grab my attention) Currently the author is talking about the downfall of the UK's coal fueled industrial power at the beginning of the 1900's and what the US did to supplant them as leaders of oil.
Haven't been to too many movies but did see both
Oceans 13 (which yes was fun and still had that feeling of being ultra-cool) and the hilarious
Knocked Up. The audience LOVED that one and reacted almost as much at times as it did for
Borat. (Though for different reasons.. still Kristin I think you will love the stoner chick)
Putting those two topics together, they are going to be filming
The Time Travellers Wife soon! I loved the book and those who have gotten through it have too. (it looks rather large but what a story)
