Very interesting. I can't claim to be a book snob. Doesn't go with the Supermodel image. Plus my favorite book right nos is "Powerpuff Girls Save the World"....at least you would think it is by the number of re-readings...

Hmm, I guess saying that Bubbles is my favorite doesn't really go with my image, either. I don't care. The PPG are cute and charming, and I'm too old to worry about being "cool."

alternet is one of my favourite sites. Right now I am having a break from reading books. I have become a little addicted to the marvel of the internet. I have taken to reading very many essays on line. There is so much online. I am overwhelmed. It is like having a library at your finger tips and you can go almost anywhere your heart desires. I was wonder how was affecting other peoples reading habits.

My reading habits right now are erractically eccentric at best. I have taken on a personal mission of reading every philosophical and political treatise ever written. I am pressed for time. (lifetime really!) So, I am reading 3 or 4 books at a time. How much of that great knowledge is sticking, I wonder. Lately, my brain is like a sieve.

Yeah, the internet is a mine-field for finding complete books-- Political, Classics, Philosophy. And a lot of obscure things. I find myself on here for hours and hours at a time. (The internet eats life.!!) I am distracted reading off the screen though, so I print EVERYTHING out - I am being overrun by three-ring binders stacked building high -everywhere. The problem is the ink. It's very costly. If anyone knows the formula for ink, I would be much obliged.
