Thraxas, do your parents still live down here?

Yes.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince...

I saw the ending coming, but I hoped it wouldn't go the way it did.  Oh well...

I must be the only person in the world who hasn't read Harry Potter.

Thraxas, are you coming down anytime soon? I would be cool to hook up for dinner or lunch. Like old times.

Wasn't planning on it to be honest with you. That could change though. I'll let you know.

I'm reading Wolf and Iron by Gordon R. Dickson.  It takes place in a post economic/social collapse world, a second dark age is you will.  I'm barely into the book, just into the 100s, but its been a quality read so far.  The main character undertakes a journey from the great lake states to Montana to reach his brother's ranch to ensure some degree of safety.  Along the way, he is befirended by a wolf, from which he learns a few things about surviving on his own.  Right now, he's been taken on as another hand for a travelling peddler.  So far, I'd recommend it.

I recently started reading Stephen R. Donaldson's "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" series continued. This is the first of a new 4 book series which describes the journey of Linden Avery's return to "The Land".
I enjoyed the first 3 books starting w/"Lord Foul's Bane", so interested to see where this story leads.

I just finished 110 People Who Are Screwing Up America, by Bernard Goldstein.  An excellent read...

This countdown of the vast left-wing conspiracy is from the author of BIAS and ARROGANCE, Bernard Goldberg. His selections come from Congress, Hollywood, the airwaves (or cable), journalism, academia, and sometimes everyday life. They include Bill Moyers, Dan Rather, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Barbara Walters, Barbra Streisand, Noam Chomsky (of course), Phil Donahue (of course), and, at number six, Jimmy Carter. Others are perhaps less well known known, like Katha Pollitt and Ted Rall. And the winner--number one on the list--is, of course, Michael Moore. Goldberg also includes a few names who are not what he considers ultra-liberal, like Jimmy Swaggart, David Duke, and Michael Savage. But he draws his list of problematic souls primarily from the left side of the aisle. Goldberg is sometimes downright funny as he explains exactly why he would cast people he sees as smug, PC hypocrites into the various circles of hell. At other times, he is full of serious outrage, elucidating how, individually and as a group, they undermine everything Americans hold dear.

Al Franken's landmark bestseller, "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right"

Man, you are just ASKING for it!  

But I like that...Welcome to our forum!

Yeah, Al Franken has a real reputation of being fair and balanced. I love it when the left has someone like him for a mouth piece. Speak louder Al you help the right everytime you do.
