I know this is gonna make me sound like an illiterate, but I like to watch movies on my portable DVD player.

I have a DVD recorder, and when I'm home I'm always scanning HBO for something to record for later on, like on my 4 hour commute home.

I laughed my a$$ off watching Mr. Woodcock. Some other favs:

Flags of Our Fathers
Evan Almighty
Swingers
Borat
Dark Blue World

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell...don't remember the exact spelling of his last name. Great book.

The Road...Cormac McCarthy...grim but good.

Lone Survivor rocked! Thanks for loaning it to me!

I just cracked the idiots guide to mixing drinks. Ok who wants a screaming viking?

Lone Survivor is one of the best books i have ever read.

The road was pretty good too.

A couple others I recommend are:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a boy soldier by ismael baeh

4000 days: my survival in a bangkok prison by warren fellows

the places in between by rory stewart

the heroin diaries by nikki sixx

the dirt by motley crue

Pretty much anything written by Bill Bryson.

Try heading to the library and picking out random books. Read the back where someone will write "The greatest book since John Smith!" Then go find that book by John Smith and see if it interests you. If it doesn't, then read the back of that book for more of the same.

Or you could always head out to Borders Books and wander around until you find something you would spend money on. Then head back to the library and get it for free.

"Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest Gann

"Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest Gann[/quote

I have read that book no less than 5 times; always a great one.

I like Cormac McCarthy; the majority of his stuff has a lot of spanish in it. I live in South Texas so my spanish has to be good. "No Country for Old Men" is much better as a book than a movie. I read it three times.

"In Cold Blood" by T.Capote is also a good read.

"The Last Dive" by Bernie Chowdury if you like to dive.

Enjoy

I highly recommend Max Tucker's book named "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell". Just be careful if you are drinking anything while you read the book. You may have coffee come out of your nose from laughing so hard.

Dude, it's Tucker Max........anyway it is fantastic.

A stripper shared the van with us to our overnight in SHV (Conveniently located 2 blocks from Larry Flint's club) and said she's in a bit part of the movie "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell".

I said that's a great book and she gave me a blank stare. Apparently she didn't know there was a book. But hey she's not getting paid to read, right?

I too recommend "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell." It'll remind you of your college days and make you want to dump your girlfriend and go back to school.
