    Maybe I will.

    I'm going to be honest; I love most of the films with Tom Hanks. I've never watched 'Castaway,' because it just seemed so stupid, but other than that I've never had a problem with him as an actor.

    I like him too. I skipped Castaway also. I could be wrong, but I was unimpressed with the whole idea of it.

    Definitely check it out when you get a chance G. I know you'll enjoy it. It really is one of the better adaptations done of a King story.

    finished the first 3 volumes of Sandman, Tales of Beedle the Bard, and am just starting Brisingr, the third book in that Eragon series. idk, certainly not the best series ever, but fun nonetheless, and despite obvious borrowings from Star Wars and LOTR.


    So it goes.

    I currently finishing up Duma Key and half way through Cash by Johnny Cash. I just went to the book store today and bought Blaze and Black House. Thinking I will re read the Talisman before I hit BH though.

    I was looking through my old Freak Brothers comics the other day and feeling a bit miffed that they were so worn, torn and even lost in some cases...

    ...well look what I bought at the bookstore today

    In addition to The Road and The Talisman (as I listed on the previous page), I had the urge to pick up The Drawing of the Three last night. I am currently half way through.

    Before starting my audio of The Talisman, I listened to Frank Muller's Gunslinger and what can I say....it's time for another reread.

    I love Neal Stephenson. Cryptonomicon is my favorite. As long as you can skip over or pretend to understand his mathematically-heavy Waterhouse bits, you should enjoy it. (They're not all math-talk, anyway, and Waterhouse segments are probably the funniest to me.)
