I want to read this also, I don't know why but I do. LOL

Right now I am reading a book my mother-in-law gave me to read because I was complaining I didn't have anything. Oh, I'm not gong to tell you what it is..... not that it isn't a good book... I just don't feel like anyone here would be interested in what its about.

Edit: I read my post and thought it sounded a bit like I was trying to be pretentious... so screw it I will tell ya... its called The Help and is about Black maids in Mississippi during the early 1960's. See... I told you you wouldn't be interested. LOL

Edit 2: I am making my way through The Walking Dead comic (soon to be TV show on AMC) so I am not a complete wuss ya know. LMAO It is a super badass story/comic even if you dont think comics are your thing.

After I got home yesterday I finished that short story "The Machine Stops"

Reading through it was horrible, the spelling was blatantly off on certain words and letters missing made it hard to digest, I had to read almost every line either slowly or twice.

But the story was amazing.

I downloaded the large print pdf from manybooks.net... The first few pages were readable although the rest reminded me of some blogs I've attempted to read on the 'Internets' (I wonder if this aspect is mentioned in the book or if the book itself was foretelling the inevitable --- I had to give up on it).

But I did manage to snag the real thing:

Mala Fide dotcom » Ebooks "These ebooks are available in Palm eReader, Mobipocket, and Adobe Reader formats. The basic versions are freeware." http://www.malafide.com/blog/?page_id=7

Will see how this one goes.

btw, malafide has quite the selection you might want to investigate...

You guys are so distinguished with your books! I just finished reading a mailing - "2010 Hurricane Tracking & Survival Guide." According to the guide, my survival kit is missing about 95% of the recommendations.

On to my next book which ive owned for quite some time but have been meaning to read:

"The true believer"

And excelent book on why we follow mass movements like religion or political parties

http://brothersjudd.com/index.cfm/fu...il/book_id/743



"Unless a man has the talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden...We join
a mass movement to escape from individual responsibility, or, in the words of an ardent young
Nazi, 'to be free from freedom.' It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared
themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves
cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not
joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility? "




It's like religion. I can be a wife beating alcoholic with 7 wifes and still obstain myself from any guilt because I pray to jesus. Or I can fight for the army and justify killing others because "it's for my country", whereas normally I would never kill a man etc. Great book for anyone who enjoys many of the topics I post about on snuson.

Hoffer is awesome. True Believer and his other collections show more insight into the psychology of individuals, groups, movements and nations than anything else I have ever read. He is well reasoned but ruthless in the judgments he makes.

Better safe than sorry...

Hey, I live in the Northeast and the word is out that "This is the year for a b-i-g one for us"... It has been a while so I downloaded http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...282879.acrobat --- I'm sure the precautions apply pretty much all along the east coast.

Thanks for mentioning it.

btw, 5% = run like hell?!?

I've had this interest in the old Sci-Fi Pulps of the 30's to 60's, so I was at the bookstore yesterday, and picked up a couple of books of short story compilations that were originally published in those. One was all Arthur C. Clark, and another, various authors. I do love sci-fi, and don't read much, so the short stories should be easily digestable.
