i'm reading "the zombie survival guide: complete protection from the living dead." (not kidding. my best friend gave it to me after i got him "how to survive a robot invasion" :P ) and i just found my mp3 player, so as soon as i find the headphones, i can get back to the next audiobook i have in queue, never let me go by... some japanese-name-havin dude. i'm also working on laurie notaro's books... lord, she is funny. nickel and cheapie would love the seinfeldian nature of it... what i love is how she spares NO detail. like, i'm pretty open... i'll tell about stuff that embarrasses me... but this woman... WHOA. like the time it took her two months to figure out the guy she was dating wasn't a drunk, but retarded (she found his special olympics medals, and then realized that the lego star wars gift he had given her wasn't just funky and cute, it was... real :eek: ) or the time she had to pee in her backyard and her new puppy, who had jsut learned how to drink out of the garden hose was trying to get a drink... yeah. heh. good stuff. her first book, the idiot girls' action-adventure guide, is clumsy, but it is cool to see her evolve as a writer right there on paper... by the end of the first book, she's highly polished and awesome.

and last but not least, i am editing my book, again :P that's sucking most of my free time, all 2-4 hours a week of it. this is about the 20th time i've read it, and it still entertains me, for what that's worth :heh:

oh, and freakonomics was incredibly entertaining. the author totally rocks because of how well he supports his theories, they are, for the most part, completely rock-solid. i think i had a couple of small doubts on a couple of things he said, but overall... wow. blew me away.

and i loaned it to my best friend, and read parts of it to my husband, and they've both been giving me non-stop sh** about the one appendix on names, which offers proof positive that i am a white-trash stripper :hmm:

It's Superman (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811844358/sr=8-1/qid=1141794535/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-6291965-8693711?%5Fencoding=UTF8) - New book by Tom De Haven. Takes place in the 1930's when Clark Kent was 17. It's a great book so far and I am enjoying it a lot because this is the first real story of Clark Kent growing up during the true "golden age" of Superman (that I have heard of).

Also reading The Andromeda Strain (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060541814/qid=1141794650/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-6291965-8693711?s=books&v=glance&n=283155) by Michael Crichton.
