that's cool astronaut...whatever you want...  8)

i only want you for your sexy body LL...    

[luceluna]

*cracks whip*

[dirtgirl]

ooh now you'll just have to tie me up as well, Luce   (LOL - since when have you been into S & M LL?    )

Besides, I need the discipline, I have been a very bad girl and reading way too much leftist propaganda... ;D  

[singingcirclesaway]

there damnit, i got the books: Hollywood Husbands: Jackie Collins and The Hunt For Red October: Tom Clancy

put How to Travel with a Salmon...: Umberto Eco and Voltaire's Bastards: John Ralston Saul on order. or whatever its called.

i even had to get a bloody library card (have always feared libraries since i borrowed out mrs. doubtfire the book when i was 9 or 10, and i lost it, never borrowed from a library since. apparently they dont remember though, so i aint saying a word.), and then smile politely whilst the lady told me how to find a book (after i had already found the ones i wanted rather quickly - daft woman).

now i just have to read them (after harry potter of course - the people that own this place love him, and i want to know what all the nonsense is about.)

[dirtgirl]

im so proud of you!!!  ;D

*DG gives sparky a big hug and a gold star!  ;D*

and how are my other little bookworms going?

[Glen]

*$13 fines on library card* ;D  Shant borrow til fines are paid

Shame Gridlock by Ben Elton or the Star Wars Omnibus weren't on the reading list...I've had them for plenty of time

[singingcirclesaway]

woah, slow down there. i actually have to get around to reading them now. and that requires much more effort than actually borrowing them did at all.

[spongeboy]

oh man......300 pages left in cold six thousand by james elroy (getting a bit slow at the moment, but its been from dallas to vietnam and i'm only half way there...) and practise of programming (kengihan & pike) good read about programming design issues (in C, C++ and java). Kenighan has the 3rd team member of the unix inventors....

then i've got to find voltaire's bastards? wait...i've already seen the Red October movie .....oops, did say that out loud?

[dirtgirl]

you did spongey...and we all heard you  

i've been getting into "Fear and Loathing in America" by Hunter S. Thompson

reading this has bought be back from the edge of insanity    it has given me a reason to go on... ;D

[singingcirclesaway]

im really getting into hollywood husbands. its scaring me.

ooh, voltaires bastards arrived for me today. must pick it up tomorrow. weeee. ;D

[dirtgirl]

i knew Jackie Collins would be up your alley, sparky  

[singingcirclesaway]

shh, dont tell. ;D

ive finished it now, and damnit, its all happy shit. its annoying. actually, the only copy they had of hollywood husbands was this double volume that came with rock star (show?) as well, so i might have to read that too now. sigh. ;D

[Catfish]

how about choose your own adventure books...those things rocked!  Always so exciting too...

They were my favourite. I read those as much as I could for the read-a-thons.

OoOoOhh, or something like the Eleventh Hour!  That even has conspiracy theories in it!

I won that book in Year 6 for highest achiever i think. either that or most improved.

Reading suggestion: the bible

[dirtgirl]

cool fishy  

the bible...inspiration for many wars...

now you are gettin it sparky!! the trash just keeps getting better  ;D

Has anyone else read anything by Hunter S. Thompson or am i on my lonesome on this one?

[singingcirclesaway]

yay! i cant wait to read it all now. ;D

hmm, is voltaires bastards some ranting "this is my opinion" type-thing? because, dood, i refuse to read it if it is.
