What does everyone read?

I had a hard time wading through his diction.

That is just foul!

Yeah, but I read Choke about 5 years ago and I have trouble remembering it now. I've been thinking about re-reading all of his books.

Fight Club was my favorite but I also really liked Diary.


I like Chuck's books but they are kind of hard to follow at times.

It's not like his other books because he works in a bunch of his short stories, but they are supposed to be written by the characters in the book itself. There are also a ton of main characters, who all use pseudonyms, so that's hard to keep track of.
Maybe I'll give that one another shot because I don't have anything else to read right now.

I read everything by Richard Laymon, he's a horror writer, like the only author I've gotten into, kinda funny though there's always sex in his books and it's usually graphic, but at least I'm reading ha ha

The Joy of S*x. Great read... lol

I read lots of nonfiction lately--mostly popular science type stuff. A very cool book is "Stumbling on Happiness"--it sounds like a self-help title, but it's by a Harvard social psychologist. It's all about how bad we are at predicting what we'll like and dislike in the future. Kind of a "Tipping Point" kind of thing (which I also totally recommend!).

Btw, I am a philosophy professor, and I have trouble understanding BOTH Spinoza and existentialism. I am more into Matrix-type stuff--robots, brains in vats, that sort of thing. What's weird is they pay me to read that stuff. (Beats working for a living! ;) )

The only problem is I have a bunch of existentialism books and they'd probably fly right over my head at this point. I'm pretty sure I've gotten significantly dumber since graduating.

I never took a course in philosophy in college which I regret. I'm starting to really like it and particularly fond of Baruch Spinoza.

I mean really, Hess, who reads about having sex?

You can learn a lot. If you are a good partner you take the time to LEARN. You don't just guess.

Okay, I can live with that one.

Yeah, I was speaking specifically about AUs Law School. Thanks.

I love that part of town, by the way.

AU has a good law school and most recruiters for big firms hit G-town, GW, and AU when they are in the DC area. US News' rankings will give you a good idea of what kind of reputation schools have, even though the ranking system is flawed.
