Weller Read

My friends Chris and Matt are trying to start an online blog Book Club. While I am not quite sure if I have the time to devote to this right now, I will copy them and make a shortlist of some of my favorite books. I would have to go through my library and do a lot of thinking to remember and compose a true “Top 10″, so instead I will just list, in no particular order, some books that come to me and standout, and have had an impact for one reason or another:

The Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dubliners by James Joyce
The Air-Conditioned Nightmare by Henry Miller
Anti-Memoirs by Andre Malraux
Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck
Pryor Convictions by Richard Pryor
The Winter Journey by Georges Perec
Butterfly Stories by William T. Vollmann
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner by Alan Silitoe
The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels
The City of Tomorrow by Le Corbusier

There. Read some of these. I am positive that I have left quite a few great books that I have read out of this list. Who really cares?

The Friendstering Of The World

In the modern world, a relationship doesn’t become serious when you say “I love you” or stop sleeping with Romanian Supermodels. The real sign is when you change your Status: and Interested In Meeting People For: on Friendster. Goodbye Romanian Supermodels….am I ready to take the Friendster step?…..

Too Early.

“It’s way to soon. Slow down. Think with your head. Be smart. Take it slower.”

Too Late.
