    @Lost Salient have you read any of John Hodgman's books of fake trivia?

    They're all fantastic but the last one might be my favorite

    Man, I... I own the first one but it got put in storage in Chicago when I moved here.

    :(

    "That is All" literally made me laugh to tears and then almost brought me to actual tears within the space of one night

    It is way too good for what it is

    Given that I am likely to finish Gents of the Road tonight, what should I start next:

    Finishing Paradise Lost
    The Decameron
    Something Wicked This Way Comes
    Frankenstein
    Something else (preferably something else already on my bookshelf and it is creepy if you know everything there but whatever if you've got a good suggestion)

    hey the decameron's pretty great

    i haven't read much of it but i've enjoyed what i've read

    maybe it's just the translation i've got but it can be pretty hard to remember it's seven hundred years old

    Finished up Gentlemen of the Road last night, and that was a really decent book. A good adventure story. The writing style lost me from time to time, but overall I enjoyed it.

    You guys talking about That Is All reminded me that I want to read it, so I went upstairs to get it, and it's shelved in New Non-Fiction. I can't tell you guys how happy that makes me.

    guys

    in Melbourne there is a new independent bookstore that I found

    three things about it make me feel like it may be my new favourite place

    1. in their centre display they had Kate Beaton's book right in the middle

    2. they had a Jonathan Lethem book in a country where I have never seen any Lethem in stores

    3.

    ...

    they are called Embiggen Books


    it is a place of magic and wonder

    I made a web series! watch it here: http://bloodsuckingbooks.com

    I've read the first 4 Dexter books except for the 3rd which I was told to avoid like the plague but I still need to read the 5th one which involved cannibals or something.

    I finished the other two books in the Leviathan trilogy and they were all pretty good. I didn't realize they would be so short though, I started and finished the last two in a day each. Less than a day, really, I started reading when I got to work and I was finished well before it was time to go home.

    Holy shit I am laughing my ass off at The Areas of My Expertise on audiobook. The section about writing is so far my favourite.

    A bunch of friends wanted to go see The Hunger Games movie tonight, so I figured I'd read through the entire book today. Decent but...
    Spoiler:

    I'm really tempted to try rewriting the book myself just to fix the things that are really bugging me, and publish it online.

    Also I gather it's not worth reading the other two?
