    Dante!! You read Angela's Ashes!! Ive been curious about that book! I had to read one of Frank McCourt's book for my SEYS class last semester and I was surprised to find that I really liked it! Do you know that he passed away just recently? :(

    I've always wanted to read Angela's Ashes. How is it? Have you heard of his other book, Teacher Man?

    You're currently reading Night? I hope you were able to recognize the smell that is coming from the chamber. Kind of weird but, dude, I just cannot ignore the book. Extraordinary book. Hehehe.

    Hello, we're friends now! I see that you like the big autobiography of Che. Have you seen the 3-part movie biography of him? It looks very good.

    I will be posting a review on Michael Muhammad's book here and on my blog: http://selfra.blogspot.com/

    There are several books that have been released in the last three years or so on the Nation of Gods and Earths (NGE). The Gods usually recommend Abu Shahid's book (he has been attributed to penning the original Supreme Mathematics) and Wakeel Allah's book.

    Knight's book is pretty good.

    Hey Dante! Oh, thats cool :) Youd make a good addition to those groups! If it wasnt for my groups I wouldnt have met the people on my friends list...it just gives you more of a reason to want to sign on rather than just add/rate books, you know?

    Hope to see you soon!

    I remember seeing the teaser for Watchmen a long time ago...I wanna see it too!! It looks cool ^^ I heard its a mesh of all the other superhero-type stories. That true or just a rumor?

    Hi Dante :)

    Your shelf looks so much prettier now that youve added Twilight to the list. Haha, I sound like a little teenage girl, dont I?

    What can I say...it may not have done that to you but it sure as hell did that to me...xD

    But admit it, youre probably at least a little annoyed by the whole Twilight sensation, right? Esp with that girlfriend and her crazy best friend...haha

    Aiyyyaaa Dante~~! I cant tell you how much I love you, man. The second book is cool, I cant wait for you to get your hands on it!! It should be in that bookstore of yours, though prolly not for cheap (If it was, though, Id run over there and grab em). Good luck trying to get them at the library!

    I havent read many graphic novels from here. I'll look it up.
