the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Shit. I was waiting for someone else to make it.
@Bama: I too don't really like Radiohead. Well i like 3-4 songs but other than that not really.

I still think Thom Yorke is a pretentious whiney cunt who thinks he's much better then he actually is.
Listening, reading, or both?
He's better to listen to than read.

Reading. NPR lost its deathgrip on my dial once I got a car with a CD player.
When he does his NPR stuff, he reads from the funniest parts of his books, skipping over the chaff, and occasionally doing the voices.
And he has a really pleasant voice and cadence.

EDIT: especially since they all end the same way - "...and that's how I ended up going to Vassar!"

Where are you at for pure entertainment reading these days, jacobkosh?
I got gold and pinball instead. Also put Crystal on layaway.
Good choice.
Mostly a big stack of comics/graphic novels at the moment. It turns out my library is astonishingly well-stocked with all the major stuff that I'd never gotten around to before, so at the moment I'm working my way through all 25 years' worth of Cerebus, and after that I'm planning on tackling Love and Rockets.
Hm.
It's kind of sad, my parents used to own a bookstore, so I was never hurting for books. Then they sold it and I realized that I didn't actually have much of a personal library of my own.
It's a mixed blessing; books are a nightmare to move and a nightmare to store.
edit: but by "my library" I meant my public library, which I'd never been to before because, hey, why not just buy the book?
I went with my ex, who is a much bigger fan of his than I am, to a book signing in Menlo Park. He spoke for a little while, then told people to get in line for the book signing. But he said that anybody who smokes can skip to the front of the line (because he's a smoker and he understands the urge to go outside and light up) and to hold up your cigarettes and lighter to prove your smoker status.
My ex, who at the time smoked a god-awful amount of pot, chimed in, "Does that only include tobacco smokers?" and when Sedaris craned his head to look up at her, she held up her pipe. He said, "Well, that's what I meant, but since you're so brave come up here and talk to me!" So she went up, sat with him behind the table, and chatted with him while he signed people's books. It was awesome.

I get the impression your new job does not completely satisfy.

Buying books sucks.
