cahnOkay, I think I'm getting this whole posting thing figured out. Hello!
Let's see, what else might be interesting? How about books. Can't go wrong there.
Latest (not sci-fi, or even fiction!) :
Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent.
Really very interesting. I adored the first half of the book. She is really self-aware to a much greater degree than most, I think. The chapter on "Friendship" was just excellent. The second half was also quite good, but the chapter on "Work" was almost painful for me to read, and in the one on "Life" she seemed to be kind of harsh on the monks-- at the very end she gives some tossout lines about how oh yeah, they are kind of spiritual and all too. But you would never have guessed from the rest of what she says.
