Dean Koontz - "Odd Thomas". I put off reading it even though I love Dean Koontz because I was tired of the whole "I see dead people" thing but it's really good.

Just started The Tender Bar by JR Moehringer. So far I think it's good.

Ghost Towns & other quirky places in the New Jersey Pine Barrens by Barbara Solem-Stull. History plus maps & directions.

I drove through the big fire in the Pine Barrens a few years ago (along the GSP)...I forget which year.

I just finished a scintillating instruction manual for completing the individual portion of my current class...blecch!

I've spent as much time as I can in the pines over the past 35 or so years. A great place to relax or explore. If my family follows my wishes, my ashes will be spread there.

National Geographic Vol. 178, No. 2- Auust 1990. I love reading old NG's, the articles are wild.

Clodfobble · 04-08-2007, 10:44 PM

Suuuuuure it is. I bet you read Playboy for the articles too.

It's all about the dowas (so I hear.)

Ibby · 04-08-2007, 11:04 PM

waaaatch it, some of us browse at school. I'm fairly certain that if i can show that it's Nat.Geo., i can get away with it, but... at least gimme a 'heads' next time.

Re-reading (for the trillionth time) some Wilde. I've got Dorian Gray, Windermere's Fan, Salome, Ideal Husband, and Earnest in my pocket right now.

Ibby · 04-08-2007, 11:05 PM

Read Cat's Cradle this morning. Very weird structure, very weird theophilosophy, very weird plot... very Vonnegut - therefore very, very, VERY good.

Sorry man. It totally is a National Geographic picture, by way of a Google image search.
