I don’t read. Why? I don’t know. So I’ve decided to change that. Maybe I’ll learn something, or be entertained by something other than something digital (games, computers, music, tv, movies). I have to put these new glasses to work, I suppose.
So, what am I going to read? 1984 and Brave New World should both arrive before my trip to Atlanta, and keep me occupied for the drive. Driving to Atlanta .. MapQuest says 11 hours. Add the ‘I’m in a bus’ factor, so probably somewhere around 26 hours on the road. Should be plenty of time to sleep —err read the two books I ordered from Amazon. Big thanks to Miss. Amanda for suggesting the books, as well as some interesting short stories. (A Sound of Thunder and Harrison Bergeron) Amanda and I got to watch a bunch of movies, rock out on the guitar, and have an altogether awesome weekend.
And now, it’s time to go hit the Q and pass out.

hey, jon from 188 dropping by again, and i couldn’t help but notice you were delving into classic dystopia. if that’s the case, i’d recommend handmaid’s tale by margaret atwood (don’t tell anyone i recommended this, but it goes well with the other two); it’s a surprisingly well-written and thought-provoking read.
secondly, i’d like to take this opportunity, and your own webspace, to thank you for all your help in making team188.com work. we’ve won two website awards and are on our way to atlanta. :)
