I'm excited about starting "Dog on It" by Spencer Quinn.
It's a detective novel and the entire book is taken from the perspective of a dog.
Just finished Venetian Masque by Rafael Sabatini. Don't know what I'm gonna read next... maybe Atlas Shrugged
"Celebrate Yourself!"
I've heard Atlas Shrugged is a good read but it's a bear to get through. It's taken my fiance about 7 months thus far. Let me know what you think!

Just finished Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore.
And I'm almost finished Slash's Autobiography.
Just a stay at home dad (retired until I choose otherwise, thanks Canadian Army medical pension) hanging out and enjoying the good life.
Finished Steinbeck's "The Pearl" & "The Red Pony".... boy.... Steinbeck wasn't much for sugar coatings, was he?
Anyway, I moved on to some lighter reading with Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities"

Never got around to Atlas Shrugged, but the lady fan just surprised me with a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... Currently working my way through it.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!

Atlas Shrugged is one long, boring read! I know the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand is a very popular subject right now, but do yourself a favor and get the cliff notes. Whether you agree or disagree with her philosophy, once you read that book, you'll probably regret having spent the time.
However, that's just one man's opinion. (One man who's most recent read is the new issue of Maxim.)
I'm about to start Stephen King's "The Stand" again.
