And I should care that you don't get out much, why, exactly?

If I read Bill O'Reilly's newest book, will your head explode?

I'm reading 12th Night; finished a four-week study of Austen's "Emma" and have really grown to hate that uptight wench. (Austen, that is. Well, Emma, too.)

No Brianna, Buddug being drunk would be too easy. She obviously doesn't understand the edit button.

Right now I'm reading the anthroplogy of religion. Can I slit my wrists now?

Not a bad book. I was talking about Rand in another thread- I'm no great fan, but she does have some interesting points. I read a lot of work by people that I find severely offensive- she's one of them. But she does have her good moments. And for the people who found it boring? How? There were (if I remember correctly) three different ways to read that one narrative. That's genius. She's just not a genius I like. So Lj be aware.......there's more than the obvious within those pages.

What a bunch of egg-heads! Just kidding.

The Fountainhead adaptation (screenplay by Ayn Rand) is pretty cool. Starring Gary Cooper.

If by "cool" you mean "extremely boring," then I'm right there with you.

I'll be the first to admit: there are no car chase scenes, and only one explosion.
