As for me I just finished up "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.
It asks such random questions such as "Why do drug dealers still live with their mom?"
And "How is the Ku Klux Klan like Real Estate Agents".
But one of the authors is an economist and the other an author and they combine their expertise to prove each question using economics. I highly recommend it.
I think National would get a great kick out of it.

The last book I read was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's a fun little book. I feel they really did a good job at working the zombies into the plot of the story. Posts: 1039 | Registered: Sep 2009

I'm about halfway through but I've read a few of his other books and though they are a bit... different, they're fantastic in a dark, kinky, perverted way haha.

Great signature, Diabolicus. That song is one my favourite Mastodon tunes -- I love how Josh Homme's backing vocals give it that eerie QOTSA vibe..
Right on a Mastodon fan. However, this excerpt of lyrics is not actually from the song that Josh Homme appears in, which is Colony of Birchmen. This is the song directly before it on the album. Oh, and if you ever get the chance check out QOTSA in concert, they are awesome.

Right! Silly mistake. Great album in its entirety, anyway.

I think Natalie Portman just bought the rights to do a film adaptation of that book. A friend of mine is reading that right now...I think it's a delightfully clever idea.

Nice!
Indeed. Next up to bat is The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins), then The Devil's Chaplain (Also Dawkins)

As I was reading it I was thinking that it would be an awesome idea to make a movie from it. Thanks for the heads up! that's exciting news. Posts: 1039 | Registered: Sep 2009
