Lost Christianities by Bart D. Ehrman. Good chance to get back into studying religious literature. Haven't done it in 3 years or so, yet it was by far the most interesting and revelatory thing I've ever done in education.
If I could get an orange that was as low-maintenance as an apple, I'd be a happy man
going to order "My Boring-A*s Life" by Kevin Smith. I've read bits of it and while a lot of it is indeed boring, the stories about Jason Mewes on drugs and his fathers death are magnificent
Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir. Mal: Ain't we just.
Just ordered Cosmos by Carl Sagan and Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard Feynman. Gonna get all scienced up.

Yesterday I done got from the charity bookshop in Streatham
The Doors of Perception/Heaven & Hell - Aldous Huxley (read it last night, very funny stuff) A Shaun Ryder biography (also read last night, nicely chewable facts) The Third Policeman - Flann O'Brien At Swim Two Birds - Flann O'Brien Animal Farm - George Orwell (I've read nearly everything else of his so thought that now having seen the cartoon wasn't good enough) A new collection of Poe's short stories cos the old fell apart.
I think I'll get through Engels and Wilde, or at least Dorian Gray, but Micheal Moore has a tendency to p*ss me off and I already know Satre's a bit advanced for me. I keep telling myself I bought it for the challenge.
"Pippi Longstockings" by Astrid Lindgren. "...And Another Thing" by Eoin Colfer. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.
It hurts too much not to try. I will see you in another life when we are both cats. Quod perditum est, in venietur.*Facebook.
Zombie Survival Guide for £7 from HMV. If anyone wants it for a fiver I've only read the first 20 pages. It's okay, it just seems to be all common sense to anyone who's seen more than two zombie films. It didn't make me lol out loud either. Should have got WWZ.

I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.

I think it will be going offline around the end of May
