Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

Never been able to get into a Jane Austen novel. They're all about rich people with nothing better to do than think about who should be marrying who, and what they would do if they married a poor person and lost money.

Hey... that's quite the dilemma, no?

I like that book. I actually bought it after I borrowed a copy, but I haven't read it since. I should again, it's good.

Does the father also help you get through it?

Pushed through this one early last month, it was alright but not much new information:

Finished this a few weeks back, one of my favorites now:

Currently flipping through this every night before I hit the sheets, not as good as Lamb, but still quite raunchy and enjoyable:

Didn't know you were a Christopher Moore fan, he writes some interesting books, started with A Dirty Job, have a current one as well, Bloodsucking something another I believe.

My girlfriend is a big fan of his, I traded her my Vonnegut books for her Moore's. So far we've both enjoyed the swap. She's read the vamp books you mentioned, but liked Lamb and Fool more than those, so if you wanna read his best stuff (in her opinion), pick those up.

I've read Christopher Moore's Practical Demonkeeping, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, and You Suck: A Love Story. Started Lamb but couldn't get into it.

I'm still slowly working on The Dark Tower series. I've really been slacking lately. I'm only on the second book, and I'm hardly 1/4 of the way through it so far. I haven't touched it in weeks.

Actually just finished that series this week.


Felt 6th book was the weakest while the 4th one, Wizard and Glass, was the best. Wizard and Glass is probably one of Kings best novels

The 4-Hour body came out today. I've read around 200 pages thus far and am looking forward to implementing some of his techniques. Let's see if I can finally gain those lbs.

Tomorrow I plan to start reading "And the Gods themselves" by Isaac Asimov.
I've had it since I was a kid, and never read it. So why the hell not start now.
