Hey, I want to be a book nerd! Can I play too?

Hmmm there is a library not far from where I live. Maybe I should go in sometime.

>Dude! Not cool! You had to go and let it out, didn’t you? Great. Now I’ll be moping around all weekend with Plath again.

D’oh! sorry. The crazy thing is that I’ve illustrated all over the place now just the sort of social clumsiness that leads to one becoming even more socially clumsy. If we can ever figure out how to hook a turbine to it, we’ll have that whole perpetual-motion-is-impossible nonsense licked.

>I was right. We read almost the exact same shit. It’s sort of freaky.

Yeah, fuckin’ strange. Wanna get weirder? I’ve also got an Umberto Eco around here somewhere, though I haven’t read it yet. Strange things afoot at the Circle K.

>Have you noticed any correlation with the Glass Bead Game game and blogging, or is it just me?

Hmmm… I’ve never thought about it, but I suppose I could see that, at least some correlation. More so as the tech improves and we get more multimedia, gaming, and interactivity going with it.

[...] Something Of ConsequenceThis is a meta book. Did you see Jon’s list. I’d probably do good to read anything he mentions. [...]

Also… Have you noticed any correlation with the Glass Bead Game game and blogging, or is it just me?

Blogging amongst the right people, may very well become the ‘game’.

Book nerds only tell ourselves that reading is important in order to feel better about having no life otherwise : )

Dude! Not cool! You had to go and let it out, didn’t you? Great. Now I’ll be moping around all weekend with Plath again.

BTW…
I was right. We read almost the exact same shit. It’s sort of freaky. Have you been sneaking into my house while I’m at work and stealing books from my home office?

On the contrary, maybe it proves your point? But anyway you’re probably better off. Book nerds only tell ourselves that reading is important in order to feel better about having no life otherwise : )

What a failure :( I haven’t read a book since… well… grade school.
