Just finished "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon. Its about an Autistic boy who tries to discover who killed his neighbors dog Wellington. Its a fantastic book. Tons of details as to what an autistic person does when trying to do things that are normal to an average person. But its written in his perspective, and ends up just feeling very normal to have to count colored cars and hate brown colored things.

I am now reading the fallowing books:

"How to be Free" by Tom Hodgkinson. Its his fallow up to "How to be Idle" I had to import the book from the UK as its not released in the U.S. yet.

"Freakenomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. The chapter titles get you more excited than the actual information provided. Usually its not as an amazing link as you would hope. Its still neat though.

"Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. About 30 pages into this massive book. So far I have no idea how any of the things are going to link up, or where the hell the book is going to go. But everything is very interesting a bizarre, so that will keep my going. Ive never read a book this big so its going to be a challenge to keep me interested for however long it takes me.

Books are already free at Libraries, so I don't think many people feel it necessary to pirate them.

Look out! That book will do some damage!!

I started that book, but I need to like find a print out of the Footnotes. Flipping back and forth in that book bothered me. Maybe because its so massive.
