Why isn't there a youtube video of Lucille screaming when Gene Parmesan shows up.

That was me.

I went to the library and came across these two self help books that I thought would be interesting reads. I have now come to find out that I'm not as shy as I thought I was based off the of experiences told in the book.

I don't feel like my life sucks but I thought I would read up on this and I like her concept of joyriding through life. I might actually put it into practice when I get into a bad situation.

I've been meaning to check out Palahlniuk for a while now. Surprisingly, for as short of a book as it is, I have not yet ead Night either.

I'm currently taking on this classic whopper of a door stopper:

I've read Lightness before, and in light of recent discussions w/ someone who has more recently read the book I decided to read it again.

Varieties looks to be 600 pages of tedium, but well worth the effort I hope.

Edit: Just realized I misread your post. I couldn't recommend Kundera enough to you. Beautifully well written prose with an emphasis on what I would dub "romantic existentialism"

AD 255 - the Roman Imperium is stretched to breaking point, its authority and might challenged throughout the territories and along every border. Yet the most lethal threat lurks far to the east in Persia, where the massing forces of the Sassanid Empire loom with fiery menace. The far-flung and isolated citadel of Arete faces out across the wasteland, awaiting the inevitable invasion. One man is sent to marshall the defences of this lonely city - one man to shore up the crumbling walls of a once indomitable symbol of Roman power - a man whose name itself means war, a man called Ballista.

Nothing heavy. An historical fiction novel with all the usual Roman intrigue, treachery and brutality you'd expect with a tale from antiquity.
Very well written and hard to put down.
