I don't think I have read a single book in 2004. I hope 2005 will be better
in that respect.

I managed five and three halves. Since Xmas, I've added another half so
far.

Nothing wrong with re-reading, or reading "garbage." Reading anything puts your mind to work.
I finished "You mean I'm not lazy, crazy or stupid?" before year-end. It was my second attempt, and
I didn't actually read every page, because not all of it was applicable to me. Found some useful
stuff, and now I have still more "homework" to do.
I'm most of the way through "Answers to Distraction."
I'm in my ADHD self-education phase, can you tell?
I used to read and read and read... now it's mostly a chore, unfortunately.

I was so happy when I found them together in a single hardback book - in a used bookstore, no less
:D

How is Moore in print? I went to see Farenheit 9/11, and though I thought it was good, I thought it
rather incendiary in places.
*The Foundation Trilogy - Isaac Asimov
Worth many a re-read!

Moore in print is quite entertaining. The book "Will They Ever Trust Us
Again?" is a bit different in that Moore really doesn't write much of
anything - he basically publishes letters he's received from soldiers over
in Iraq (and also Afghanistan), veterans, and family members. Kind of a
documentary in print, if you will. I'd grab "Dude, Where's My Country?" to
get a healthy dose of Moore's own writing.

I hear ya there! So much of that series is relevant to today's events.
