Just read A Confederacy of Dunces. Freaking hilarious book. Recommended to anyone with a sense of humor.

I'll look when I get home, but that bitch is like 4 inches thick.

Okay so it's 2 1/2 inches thick. It's 864 pages and according to Amazon the non-large print is 576. So I get an extra 300 pages that you other losers don't get. I'm awesome.

My eyes are so bad, I should probably look into large-print editions myself!

Just finished Juggler of Worlds and am starting the immediate sequel Destroyer of Worlds (both by Larry Niven and Edward Lerner). I'm in a good SF mood right now.

You ever read any other McCarthy? House of Leaves is actually pretty good. I ditched the footnotes a quarter of the way through though.

Reading an H.P Lovecraft best of collection. The writing is awesome. And the front and back cover have like 4 different metal album covers. I'm also lazily reading a book called Barbarians, Marauders, and Infidels:The Ways of Medieval Warfare.

sounds like a good choice. Soldiers & Ghosts: A History of Battle in Classical Antiquity over hurrrrrrrrr. It is hard to get through, but I'm going to make sure I finish it.

Finished the last of four books in that series by Larry Niven, Betrayer of Worlds, and have switched gears completely, from SF to the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series.

Does anyone else get this BUDK knife catalog? Their copywriter is a genius -- every single product questions your masculinity. If you don't buy every crappy folding knife, Vietnam Vet tribute and lamp made out of a tomahawk, you are a sissy girly queer. And if that's too subtle for you, they actually sell a keychain shaped like a pair of brass testicles. "Slap These On The Table To Show Your Attitude!!" Awesome. BUDK

Also I'm reading the Monk by Matthew Lewis.
