Kill him.  He'll never borrow things forever again, after that.

No Logo wasn't bad, I felt, but this is shaping up to be much better.  Plus its like 4 times the size of No Logo as well.  Its huge.  And yellow.  Bright yellow.

INFORMATION SO POWERFUL, YOU ACTUALLY NEED LESS.

I cant actually remember that much of it.

Also, reading John Mearsheimer's The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.  Its a course text, but I've been meaning to read it anyway.  Mearsheimer recently wrote a book with Stephen Walt about the "Israel Lobby" in the United States which got him a lot of flak, considering he went out his way to show that it was perfectly normal and acceptable for special interest groups to lobby the US on its foreign policy.  This, on the other hand, is his Grand Theory text, his iconoclastic attack on the optimists on Globalization, so it should be interesting.

I got my eReader back, (YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!) and I'm reading Stephenson's 'Command Line' book.  It's brilliant.

I'm reading Homage to Catalonia by Orwell.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

There are some really good lines from that one.  I occaisionally fail at trying to mimic the style of imprecations.

Richter

Yeah, that kind of rolling psychological analysis is only really possible in print, failing in person unless you really know your mark. 
Alternating questioning of someone's genetic / moral / genital / intellectual capactiy interspersed with properly declined forms of "Fuck" is about as close as IRL can get.

I decided to re-read Goedel Escher Bach, as it's been a few years, and I might pick up some new stuff with another go-around.
