Ah Life One minute you’re having a nice quiet drink the next you’re getin in a brawl with a bunch of rutting Alliance Sympathizers.

Me likey Firefly, don’t make the biggest mistake of your life, watch it.

OK "book Tag" (I really don’t like that phrase)

How many books do you own?
Five

what was the last book you bought?
[Two at the Same Time]

Ice Haven a comic strip novel by Daniel Clowes. Daniel Clowes is like the David Lynch of comics except he makes more sense (some times)

SHAM How the self help movment made America Helpless by Steve Salerno, I’m a sucker for cynical books that rip on things I already don’t like, Heck I’m a sucker for cynical books that rip on stuff I do like. So if you write a book that rips on "DR" Phil and Anthony Robins and the like then "SOLD"

What was the last book you read?

Harry Potter and the half blood prince, My new favorite Potter book.
Name 5 books that mean something to you.

Treatise on the gods by H.L. Menkin, A cynical Old Atheist debunking all religions and especially the Bible and Christianity. Why do I like it? Well I have a sneaking suspicion that most Bible scholars (Pastors) Have heard his arguments and have kept their innocent (stupid) flock safe (ignorant) from these scary, scary Ideas.

The Stand by Steven King, Epic, apocalyptic, yum

The B-I-B-L-E ick what a Sunday school answer. Ive had the same Bible since I was 12. All of my belief in truth and the Idea of truth comes from the bible. "Yes that’s the book for me!"

Lies My Teacher Told Me (every thing your American history book got wrong. By James W. Loewen.
Again I suspect teachers heard about this stuff in college but still gave me the Disney version, the truth is just more interesting, Thanks.

The WATCHMEN by Allen More and Dave Gibbons
A really really good Comic book. The way Allen More uses the comic format is amazing. Every panel is deliberate and exact Again and again in the story a small event that makes you go " What?" several books/chapters later is revaled to be intricale to the carecters and plot. It blew my mind.

I book fag, err tag brad

"five" you said you own "five" books. Where are the zeros? Doug owns seriously 100's of books (most of them comics) but books none the less. I can't spell "au revior".
