    I was thinking about seeing if I could get someone who lives in, or is going to New York, to just print me some of the out of print books from that Espresso book printing machine.

    I like anything by Vonnegut, though it is a head trip every time.

    I have a soft spot for Tom Brown Jr. books, even if his attitude is a bit off putting.

    I saw someone mention Cormac McCarthy earlier, while "The Road" and "No Country For Old Men" are great books and his more pouplar I think my favorite from him is "Blood Meridian". Violent story taking place during the great migration west. Not a true story but a ton of research behind it.

    I saw a lot of books on here I have been wanting to read, I need to get more books soon!

    So I just finished A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K. Dick. I didn't really like it until the end. Not because it wasn't well written, but because it was too well written. It pretty accurately captures the way that junkies act, and it drove me crazy the whole time. Completely stupid conversations that just go on and on until no one has any idea what is going on. Everything dirty and desperate. Then, towards the end, things start piecing together to form the whole depressing picture.

    I'm most of the way through the movie so far. The movie is entertaining in both the way that it is filmed, and how everything goes a little faster, so I don't have to spend so much time feeling like the characters.

    Just finished two books, Lone Survivor and Kincade's Early Years

    So first, Lone Survivor, jesus. Intense. I listened to a bit of it at work, which wasn't the best idea. I was listening to the section on when they got ambushed at work, and it was choking me up pretty bad. Luckily, no one walked up during that part. I think everyone should read this book.

    Kincade's Early Years is the third in the series, and like the others, are great reads. I recommend them for sure, and start with the first one, Kincade's Blood

    I've been hearing a lot about Lone Survivor. I guess it's going on the list.
