The Sexual Politics of Meat - Carol J. Adams

by Kenneth M. Pollack
** i started this when the Iraq War started...i am now about halfway through. that is not an indication that it isn't good, but more an indication that i got my priorities mangled.

by Anthony Bourdain
** i worked 'in industry' for several years, as did my wife, so it is fitting that someone suggested that i read this, b/c it is a hilarious tell all about the crazy people who make restaurants run...the types of people i am very familar with.

by J. R. R. Tolkien
** this is waiting on the bookcase; a new copy i bought when Jackson signed on for the trilogy. guess i need to get to work on it, b/c knowing me, it will take a few months to finish and Nov ain't all that far away.

"The Hipster Handbook"

Very deck. All you cronkites and tassels should get it.

William Burrough's Cities of the Red Night....so far so good.

naked by david sedaris. you will laugh very hard.

Okay, it took me awhile but I finally finished Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Corey Doctorow. It's a small book, and if you give it the proper attention it deserves, you can gobble it in a few hours.

Very great look at the future all in the context of Disney World. Trust me, it works. Really enjoyed it.

Corey, by the way, also runs http://boingboing.net -- a favorite site of mine.

If you don't want to buy the book, that's okay, he's giving it away for free too. Download the whole thing: http://www.craphound.com/down/download.php
