I got my final grades for my first semester... 89%, 92%, and 98.8% What!!! I'm happily surprised, especially with the 98.8% that was in my hardest class. It actually gets me motivated for next semester!


I just finished this and like I mentioned in my last rant, I don't intend on reading any of his novels (well maybe one called, All My Friends are Going to Be Strangers, but I like the way he wrote this, and appreciated his insightful accounts on bookbuying and opinion about how reading has become such an 'eccentricity'. I really think it has amongst my generation, but at work I do see alot of younger folks turning to books for pleasure. rad! Well this book was mainly about his book hunting and building a library, then about books that make $100,000 at Christie's because of the first edition and famous inscriptions. I like how some of his adventures took place in the bay area, as well as mentions the replacement of computers in libraries where books should be. As a recent release, I was still surprised how modern it was... he does mentions iPods and how the Internet has affected book buying (yep!). Eh I dig it. Now I can chat with the white haired 50-somethings who bought this book too.

Well its a Monday summer night... when I would typically be beering and biking...I'm poor, but am relying on my lil' pile for entertainment.
