Can't get enough of it.

I'm "reading" Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire aka the audiobook.

Does Stephen Fry narrate? I love his voice. And him.

... not so much reading, but lots of looking

Not sure if it's Fry or not, but it's definitely a British narrator

a bit of Ian Mckewan, hes easy to read and pleasent, an art thats hard to perfect

currently reading and enjoying 'kafka on the shore' by haruki murakami

I liked this when I read it.

been a huge Murakami fan for a while

Almost done with the mini-series. Which is a total bummer, since it's such a wonderful combination of so many of my favorite film characters. Freddy, Jason, Ash, Tommy Jarvis, Deadites, the telekinetic girl from Friday the 13th part 7!!!, etc.

EDIT: Just finished the series. That was outstanding. What a terrifically written horror epic.

just started

from the cover it looks like a protofascist book, but no, it chronicles in detail how the pilgrims were fucking up blacks & indians in their pursuit of happiness (i.e., greed). nice book, very readable so far.

The cover really says it all. Ah, the nostalgia, inanity and, surprisingly enough, lots of bits that still ring true.

examples of stuff still decently true?

en inglés, perro?

Is this pretty good? It's always been in the back of my mind to read it.

'...there was another kind of computer developing, in a parallel universe. This was the Apple, and it operated on an entirely different concept, which was: A regular human could use it. ... ...even a child could understand this. For many years, while we MS-DOS were typing insanely obscure instructions like:

dir c:\abcproj\docs\lttrs\sales\apr\*.*

...the Apple people were simply aiming their little mouse pointers at little pictures and going "click."
...We don't want some wussy "user-friendly" computer: We want a challenge.
That's why, to this very day, Apple is not considered by us cyberwonks to be a truly serious computer. It is viewed as a computer that is popular mainly with your flaky or artsy-fartsy type of individual--your artist, your poet, your beatnik, your flower-arranger, your heroin addict. We serious users pride ourselves on wrestling with openly hostile computers that are running an operating system from the proud, incomprehensible Microsoft tradition.'

It was great! Insanely funny, silly and some times sardonic. It's just too short. Plus Terry Jones wrote it while completely naked.
