No, I haven't. I'm currently reading "The PRincea nd the City" about Rudy Giuliani. It's alright...I think it's hilarious about how so many people idolize the man now, when before 9/11 he was basically hated by everyone. Oh well, national crises change people's views...

Oh I know. It kills me when I think about it. I truly cringe whenever I hear people going on and on about 9/11, when they really have no clue what happened, why it happened, all that stuff. They just go on and on about the US and how non of the other countries like us or support us. However, they fail (or, usually, are too dumb) to realize the truths behind it all.

I was discussing the book "Lies my Teacher Told Me" at work today with my co-worker. I was amazed that someone else has actually read it. Have any of you read this one?

I'm currently reading 'Die Blechtrommel' (the tin drum) by Guenther Grass ... interesting book. Before that I read monstrous regiment by Terry Prachet (which by the way is really good, if you like prachet) and before that I read 'for whom the bell tolls' by Ernest Hemingway which I really liked.

I borrowed a Prachett book from the library once, but never got around to read it.
I still go to Adams for my dose of English witty humor. ;D

Has any one read Mr Nice by Howard Marks? Howard Marks....... if I'm not mistaken, is he not the man who has been touring around to further his cause of legalizing cannabis?

On the contrary,
I'm a bit liberal and I'm one of those nuts that strongly believe that people's freedoms should be safely guarded.
Plus, there are medicinal purposes for cannabis.
