    Just reading Stephen Fry in America. He basically drives around every state and chats to normal yanks. Pretty good Autobiographical account.
    Oh it's right here if you want to read it.

      In full. I guess four days ago or so.


      Compelling genius stuff.
      I think I'll have my neighbor open my mail for the next couple of days.

          The things he did were atrocious though.

          Percy Wood The American Airlines President he bombed...... survived.

          He used the same bomb on James Mcornell who but ended up maiming him when he clearly stated he was trying to kill them as fast as possible.

          Also Mcornell wasn't even the primary target.

          How do you control a shrapnel bomb? He really overestimated.

          The guilt that man lives with? I'm not sure if it's there but he should feel guilty about a few of his targets. He really acted inhumanely.

            Visions Of Gerard is my own personal Bible.

            Everyone should read that book, especially Catholics.

              That is a good point. Does anybody actually like or use e-book readers?

              I can't stand them myself. Most people only read one book at a time and have no need to carry whole book collections on a single device. Maybe it is useful for a student carrying academic journals and gives them quick access to information, but I can't see many other positives. Reading off a screen for long periods strain the eyes and give me a headache. Plus they are expensive. £200 for a good one.

              I can't help thinking that the digital age is draining the character from our lives. No more books in bookcases, no more cd cases on shelves, no more game and dvd cases. Our living rooms are going to be devoid of personality and boring.

                I'll download music (as well as own CD's and vinyl). But I'll never read a book that isn't in my damn hand. I draw the line at that.

                  The only things I read online are comics, and that's purely because some editions are too damn expensive and hard to procure.

                    MP3 players are great. You consume music in three minute tracks and switch to another album or put it on shuffle. Can you imagine putting an e-book on shuffle after every page or chapter lol.

                      I bought this book quite sometime ago.


                      Still haven't gotten around to reading it though.
