Just to scare the bejesus outta myself and make me hug my children closer, i guess.<BR/>The book? Pretty freaking cool. Written journalistic style, as an account after brains were eaten.<BR/>Delicious.<BR/><BR/>Please note: Don't read when you're pregnant (I had some messed up womb-eating dreams) and read it with caution if your power is out.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266238698966238125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159299199460969385.post-62956986464489823252008-09-29T08:24:00.000-07:002008-09-29T08:24:00.000-07:00So THAT's the Book?

The NEA's Big Read (neabigread.org) has a few dozen books and they provide grants to communities for book discussions and free resources. Just thought NEA Big Read should get proper credit for their work. This list is a fun game though and interesting comments.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485367916510695942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159299199460969385.post-77938346956253308282008-09-28T16:02:00.000-07:002008-09-28T16:02:00.000-07:00okay, so I am ready trashy, raunchy novels at nigh...okay, so I am ready trashy, raunchy novels at night and that suits me just fine.

I think I'll give it a try but my book club gals may balk at it a bit. <BR/><BR/>I love book lists as well. I've never stopped to measure myself against to feel badly about reading or not reading them. What does it say about me that when the AMC List of 100 Movies you must see comes out and I've seen almost every one? Well, up until 4 years ago anyway. I don't think Madagascar and the countless other animated films I watch hundreds of times each week would make that list.<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, I actually had more to say but I forgot what it was.
