I haven't said hi to a new member in months so...there you go, hi. What do you like to read PlaypitsPark?

I can just picture all the new Wal-Marts with their coffin showrooms... ...maybe back in the corner by sporting goods or automotive families shopping with grandma and grandpa and debating the merits of wood vs. aluminum, velvet vs. silk, wondering how the store came up with a price like...

Jeez, it's about time. If ever an industry could use some competition it's the death business.

I'm very much on the graphic novel bandwagon right now and that one is very tempting even though I have a copy of the book which I was supposed to read for BOTM here but did not. :blush:

Hitchens is such an intense person. He takes no side casually and debates people with a calm that I admire.

More so than his first two albums Light takes a few listens (at least it did for me) to appreciate. He has a charismatic way about him that I like. I don't like a lot of Rap either but there are always exceptions I find in every genre. I'd say my least favorite is modern Country/Pop. I have...

I've got that too! Seconded.

The best I've bought this year (that came out this year) are: Matisyahu - Light Levon Helm - Electric Dirt Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up

David Benioff - City of Thieves :stars4: Benjamin Tupper - Welcome to Afghanistan, Send More Ammo :stars5:

Huh? Wrong link. Here is the article. I thought this was an excellent argument for why Bush should accept responsibility for allowing torture to flourish while he was in office. It's true that Bush could generate some diplomatic capital for Obama. I think it could also be benefit the Republican...

That is an interesting article. I don't think 9-11% unemployment has to stick around for a decade as the article states, but on the other hand we have lost jobs far more quickly than we've created them in recent memory. The article is a bit scary but I don't know if it was written to be just...

And again for The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks.

The Scar - China Mieville Learning the World - Ken MacLeod We'll see about that soon. The first two I am going to read are The Wasp Factory and Use of Weapons. I've heard a lot more about Consider Phlebas, The Algebraist and Matter than any of his straight fiction stuff. I don't think...

Same.

I subscribed to the Economist for a few years and then stopped because it was just too much to read in a week when I'm always reading books. I still buy it occasionally though. I like several things about it - the editorials, Lexington, the science, business and arts sections. Their is a...

That is quite a thorough list and with an explanation for each. Nice.

I am. And I will. I'll have to get back to you when and if I can find something amusing.

Thanks for qualifying that Disenthral. :lol:

I don't think science fiction writers are any worse than any other group of writers. It's just the usual intellectual snobbery.

Abc, the difference in that situation is that it is after school and so for that a cell phone could be left with the main office and he could get it at the end of the school day right? My point is during the school day cell phones are used far, far more to talk to friends and even parents...
