This dude can't think for himself.

Stop humiliating yourself and Man up, Linton.

Or get married and these choices will be made for you.

Love On The Road. Always makes me want to jump in my car and drive far away. When I have a working car.

You should grab that brand new "original scroll" edition they came out with. You've read it enough to where that might be an interesting twist.

(it's the original continuous piece of paper that Jack banged out on his typewriter -- i think he uses the real names in it)

I actually saw that edition in the book store not 3 nights ago. I thought about picking it up, but in the end, I didn't think it would enhance my enjoyment of the book in any way. Seemed a bit gimmicky to me. Neat though.

Comanche Moon, by Larry McMurtry. It's the last of the Lonesome Dove series, and it's pretty damned fantastic.

A DRINK BEFORE THE WAR, by Dennis Lehane. Modern noir-style detective fiction. If you like it, there are four sequels.

If you don't like it, you suck.
