Mum bought it for me damn funny stuff !

Silent Bob Speaks: The Collected Writings of Kevin Smith
Kevin Smith
Photo Cover

Director and cultural commentator Kevin Smith has long made a career of having other people voice his acerbic and witty words, in a string of hilarious movies that began with Clerks and continued into Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Now Smith takes over the reins, and the talking, in the book his legions of fans have been waiting for. Letting rip at maximum volume, with a series of hilarious rants on the absurdity of just about everything, Smith takes on the madness of Hollywood, uncovers 'The Unholy Tale of Greasy Reese Witherspoon' and voices his bloodcurdling hatred of Britney Spears!
Is there anyone there ??????? IS THERE ANYONE THERE !!!!!

i read those two too :) (who hasn't)
i even got myself an nineteeneightyfour T-shirt :P

Image I'm reading this one again :)
started over, now i read while i'm more awake instead of before i go to sleep. it has some complex sentence structures, so i should read it when awake.

see here for a review:

i like it a lot better now that i'm reading it with a clear mind :P

Oh, I know.

I don't want to reveal my plan just yet... It's in a bit of a state of flux.
Fair enough :)

I am still being pretty coy about my plans...have to be careful how many people i talk to incase work get wind of it...

I just read My Friend Leonard by James Frey. It kind of picks up where his previous book, A Million Little Pieces, left off.

Both are books about addiction/rehab/life afterwards, certainly not light subject matter in parts but written so well and so emotionally gripping that you can't stop reading.

I just finished reading this classic: http://www.klf.de/online/books/bytheklf/manual.htm
:D

I wonder if anyone ever actually tried this word for word and got a trip with the boys to the Madagascar or his/her money back. :)

Just about to start reading the Da Vinci code as it seems I am the only person left in the world who hasnt read it, and consequently dont have an opinion about what it "reveals".
