For you book worms

I just finished Sellevision by Augusten Burroughs, and now I'm reading Possible Side Affects (by him) and according to him I'm reading My Friend Leonard by milli vanilli. (haw) both books are great, but I find myself reading more James Frey, even though he lies. I love to read what he writes, it's really good. Burroughs is really funny, not as heavy or emotional though so it's easy to put down. now I'm thinking I should do what most people are doing and refresh on the Da Vinci Code I think I've heard that eight times today! damnation...my mom has it.

I've recently read the postman by David Brin

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/055327 ... e&n=283155

If you like Fallout the game, you should enjoy this book.

*Note I don't think this has any relation to the postman movie by Kevin Costner (but since i've never seen it. I can't confirm.

I'm currently wading my way thru the Harry Potter books again. It's potato chip for the mind time.

The movie was based off this book, yes.

The book is great and it's the only book I've read more than once.

I'll pretend like I never heard that and that Mr. Costner never soiled this great book.

Oh btw, I was mistaken. Its "At Any Cost" The Story of Jack Welch and How He Changed GE or something.

Can't recommend it highly enough.

Neal Stephenson's book The Cryptonomicon is also pretty damn good.
