POST WISH LIST LINK

Not that we'll get you any of it.

Maybe I'll post mine.

It's posted, eric! click on WISH LIST in my fist post!

 

[chupe666]

no, it's showing my wish list. there's a way you can email it, so there's a link that shows your wish list to other people, but I don't think that's it.

OK, I edited the first-post (not fist-post) link. It wouldn't give me the link properly; I had to have it e-mail myself. Weird.

worked! heh, I started Gravity's Rainbow once, and I am about halfway through Mason & Dixon, but for some reason I've never been able to finish a Pynchon book. I think it's because I do all my reading in transit now, so I read in ten-minute chunks. it's hard to slip right back into Pynchon's flow...

We read the Crying of Lot 49 in a modernity class in college and I really liked it- read Vineland, but fell short of finishing it. I think because I had to move or something and packed the book away or something stupid like that.

Amazon recommends me such crap. I mean, what's with all the books. I pretty much hate reading. They should know that. That Subway guy would know that.

I really want to read Vineland--I saw it referenced when I was reading about Stephenson's Snow Crash, which was really good.

If you like Pynchon then you might like Walker Percy. He's more "novelistic" and less dense, but still rad...let me try to think of some more.

YAY!
thanks, i need good book recommendationz in my attempts of nearing literacy.

I still have trouble with the big words in this one, but I'm gettin' better.

I like how the Segway is just sorta thrown in the middle of the wish list, maybe to trick someone into buying it without really noticing.

Once my cam site launches, we shall see.
