    Logging in

    I have auto log in, so the site has to keep its greeting to itself. Caterers are getting here for the Christmas party in 7 short hours, no flapjacks but what they can do with cheesecake is marvelous.

    The only one I can think of is Open Range, and that is a sub par movie, not a book.

    My LOTR personality was Legolas. I was shooting for Galadriel, but I'll take any elf I guess. :)

    Classic literature

    There's lots more poetry I want to read, hopefully someone will notice all that Pablo Neruda on my Amazon wishlist (he counts as classic, right?) I'd like to read more of the Victorians, Dickens, Trollope, Thackery, Henry James. I've read quite a few classics since I have a degree in English...

    Movie Quotes and Language

    The movies I hear referenced most often are Quest for the Holy Grail, Clerks, and Office Space. I think it's the "cult" movies that have crept into slang, by quoting those you reaffirm your membership in the group.

    I've loaned/given him so many books now, I think we're even. :p Am loving Snow Crash, I haven't read anything like it before (the Cyber Punk stuff.) Should've read in 10 years ago when it was first recommended to me.
