Picked up this interesting book...The End of Money and the Future of Civilization -Thomas Greco
Fascinating history of currency and where it is headed. Should be done by the end of the weekend if the weather holds up.

I just read that they are filming a movie in Vancouver that was adapted from a book I recently recommend here called a A Single Shot - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1540741/

Other older favourites:
"Into Thin Air" Jon Krakauer's account of the tragic climb up Everest in 1996. Read "The Climb" by Boukreev which provides some rebuttal.

I recently read Into Thin Air and really enjoyed it (even though I was reading it in the middle of summer ). I'll be interested to read another take on those 1996 summits in The Climb as well.

Under the Banner of Heaven is also indispensable Krakauer. Particularly since we have a Mormon up for election in this country. Its amazing what millions of dollars in PR money will do to legitimize your cult.

Talk about a thread from the past, kinda funny and sad reading back some, I miss some of these cats. Decided to look in on this thread after seeing Donny and the boys talk about Clavell. Just slayed Train Dreams in a day, a 116 page novella by Denis Johnson. One of the best things I’ve read in a long, long time. An instant classic, the movie adaption is about to be released starring Joel Edgerton. This was the first Denis Johnson I’ve read, now reading his Jesus Son, nothing to do with religion. It was adapted into a movie back 1999 starring Billy Cudrup. Actually haven’t seen the movie

I know someone from here who I talk to in the real world has a relationship with Keyser as does another who still shows up here once in a while.

His life is just busy, no time to post.

Southern, Lotus & UK.....chased off I guess.

Always wondered if TimeOut (from the old site), Fred and Micky were the same dude.

Never had much interaction with Island.

2 ships in the night type of thing.
