    Johnny's book is due out this summer. It is called Border Crosser: One Gringo's Journey . . . something, something. It is on my shelf.

    Man, I don't think I can read anything about the Bush administration until like, at least four years from now. I need some distance so that it will be less terrifying.

    Hola! I just finished reading "Word War Z" an it was very entertaining. It is written as a collection of different interviews with people after a word wide zombie epidemic. I'm not usually into horror books, but this one was really well done and totally sucked you in. It is also a pretty quick read, I finished it on the plane home from Chicago. I'm working on the Babylon by Bus one right now.

    Hey you! Yes, I agree that "Under the Banner of Heaven" is a good one. It is scary at times, but that is how I feel about most religions, these guys just take it seriously. I still haven't gotten to the Babylon book yet, I will though, it is next on my list. I just made the mistake of choosing a book on water rights in the west, and it isn't interesting enough to hold my attention like most books, so its taken some time. Plus school has started for me again. Bleh!

    I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN EUGENE THOUGH!! You should definitely try to make it down.

    Later gator....

    Hi, Chase. Justin M's evil twin here. Wanted to mention that the SHORT stories group will (finally) be reading and discussing the 2007 Best American Short Stories beginning Apr. 1st. We'll start with Auchincloss's "Pa's Darling" and work our way through the collection one month at a time. Hope you can drop by and add any thoughts you might have to the discussion.
    Best,
    Justin II

    Hi Chase. I got to your page by reading your review of Amy Hempel. I love her.

    Terrific list, Chase. Not that you asked me for recommendations, but if you haven't read any short stories by Aimee Bender or A.M. Homes, I think they might be right up your alley. Like Hempel, but they weigh a bit more heavily on the "odd" scale than she does.

    thank you, chase.
    murakami might be my favourite author but i must admit that i didn't enjoy his short stories. as the story goes, it's rare that people like both. so you might want to try his short stories instead. i brought this point up on our murakami group site, might help you decide (the list of the books are also there) http://www.shelfari.com/groups/10209/discussions/11005/novels-vs-short-stories kafka on the shore was one of my favourite ones for sure. our group also dealt with our favourite murakami, have a look http://www.shelfari.com/groups/10209/discussions/696/Favorite-Murakami-Novel

    Dude, nobody wants to know what you're wearing. That's actually a topic they have at the Vogue office every day: "Do we care, yet, what Dave has on?" "Nope." "GOOD." That's just how it goes. ;o)

    If your mom doesn't have that particular sock book, it is--for all intents and purposes--the shizzle. It's the best damn sock book ever written, because it gives you great ideas and lots of freedom to create. If you visit my blog, you can see pictures of my knit projects...cuz I'm cool like that...and by "cool," I mean "dorky."

    Ladies can't resist a "Simpsonian" man. The "come hither" look is probably what got her...
