I recently got a Kobo for a gift from my mother-in-law. She paid $59 for it in MA. I noticed earlier postes about the price at $99 being the magic number, think we got that beat now.

My wife is reading it now, she likes it.

so what do you think - i heard the first single and really liked it, it sounded a bit like kid a/amnesiac musically, though the lyrics were not cause for suicidal ideation....really, i would like to hear any feedback about the album.

I haven't read Freedom yet either, but I read Corrections and found it to be a decent book not extraodinary. I read somewhere that Freedom is an example of the post-postmodern movement....

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Sufjan Stevens, the Age of Adz is really an excellent album. When I first listened to it, it was a little hard to digest, but over multiple listenings it has quickly become a favorite. I found it to be the most creative/challenging album I got over the past year.

My son's eight, he loves the Goosebumps books...every night he reads them, which of course I love too!

That's good to know, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

One thing I didn't realise, the season was ending last nite....seemed a bit short.

I guess I get that people like his voice, but I honestly have to say I don't...to each, his own. I prefer Thom Yorke over this Sigur Rose guy, his voice is great, and at times I have no clue what the lyrics are, but the emotional aspect is felt. To be honest, I bought Sigur Rose on the...

that tooth scene definently was nasty...i liked how he warned the other guy in the last episode, kinda give him the heads up about how once you cross the line there's no going back.

He's the only character who is really recognizable, maybe it’s the bug eyes or maybe its his provocative nature. I think he may just be the narrator.
