just get some diversity to it, which you seem to already. Keep it like that. I try to mix all the genres up now and just rotate.

zen, the book was great.it gives lots of detailed info on terrorism, how they enter the country, signs of a problem that were ignored, problems we could not address cause people here are protected by our law
i highly reccomend this book.you would not believe the **** that is going on right in our back yard

I need to diversify a little, I read to much of the same stuff, fantasy novels and mma magazines, that's about it.

I have read Catcher in the Rye, great book.

If you can read this authors don't miss the opportunity:

-Eduardo Mendoza (my best writter, king of sarcasm)
-Fernando Arrabal (modern surrealistic, experience with LSD)
-Miguel Delibes (dramatic writter)

Wait .. nevermiond.. just read the introduction and writers notes on Barnes and Nobles web page. **** that book is depressing, **** that. Talkin about the end of white America. Okay, I understand how everythin is evolving, but we're still not equal like the book says. For example, you still got the black people all pissed off at whites STILL cuz they were enslaved.. dumb ****s are my age and never seen slavery in their life, or even their parents!! My god, some1 shoot them and put them outta their missery. ****'s not equal, and never will be. Skin, and where u live says everythin, and will always be like that. I don't agree with this book.

I just dont like that sometimes African americans say they are having so many problems and white people dont have a single one. I just think to my self why dont you like me? Almost every Race has been slaved one time or an other.

It's easier to live in ignorance and hate rather than acceptance.. and most people are lazy and not as oppened minded as others. I give the author credit for his views on America as "grey" as he puts it.. but I don't think it's entirely true. He notes that it's becomming "one color" rather than individual colors. It is in some cases, but for the majority its not at all.

Its like a Monet painting. He painted in all kinds of colors with dots. If you stepped back from the picture you see a nice smooth contrast and it looks all clean and of one color and consistancy. But if you take a step closer.. and really look at it for what it is, you will see individual, and very different dots and sections that you couldnt see otherwise.

As far as white america goes, a good informative book that u may want to pick up is called "Skinhead" by Nick Knight. It shows whats really up in that world. The different sections, beliefs.. not all skinheads are bad or racist.. i know hard to belive cuz u've been clouded with missrepresentation and propoganda. It's different from what you may think.. if you are open minded I suggest that book for u.

the first skinheads were black and or English. Bob marley and all his friends back in the day were skins, and they called themselves rude boys. This was all good and dandy till some brit ****ed it up and made his "white power" youth movement take up the rudeboy/skin style.

there is a skinhead group in Boston called the SHARP's (Skin Heads against racial Prejudice) and they keep the bad element out in free concert on the Boston common and such along with the legions of punks. Only problem is they are still pretty violent, they will beat your ass with equal oppertunity.

definetly, one of them flattened me at 16 years old in a mosh pit and then helped me up before his 400 pound friend trampled me. Later on the same guy almost tore my shirt off while moshing.
